Zombie Mommy

Omg...I want a redo of this past weekend, except that I would like to not have ANYTHING to do. Just a quiet, relaxing weekend, please? Ha! If only! Here’s a recap of my weekend:


Friday

Went for a run and bike ride with my aunt when I got home. Totally refreshed me! And my day got better. Unfortunately, that was the only slow part of my weekend.

Saturday

Woke up at 5, took the hubs to work. Came back, slept for an hour and then Em was up for the day! I fed and clothed both of us and off to town we went! I was told to buy a top for myself for our “night out”, and I had to get a baby shower gift as well as a birthday gift for a last minute party we were invited to! I only got about an hours worth of looking and shopping in because at 9:45 my hubs said he was getting off early. So I went to pick him up and we went to Wal-Mart where he proceeded to be rude and unpleasant. Afterward, we went to pick up a washer and dryer, and it was back home for lunch. 12 pm. Thirty minutes later I was getting the babes and I ready for the baby shower. And we were off! It was a nice baby shower, and the ladies throwing it said they got a lot of ideas from mine. I’m going to add in here that the ladies are some of the women I used to work with (two of the many reasons why I left) so it was a bit awkward, but I wasn’t there for them. I was there for the mommy to be. The shower lasted until around 3:15. The cake was great, the games were fun, the baby got a lot of presents, and everyone was in love with my little girl. Because she’s just so “sweet and calm for her age”. Ha! After saying byes, thank you’s, and good luck, the punkin and I were on our way back home! She fell asleep the minute she was in the car seat and I couldn’t wait to get a nap in. Unfortunately, we got home at  3: 50. The hubs and I had to be at the birthday party by 5:30 (it’s a 40-minute drive). So I took a nice little 20-minute nap and then had to wake up my grumpy other half. We got ready and were out the door at 5:00. Arrived at the little one's birthday party, caught up with friends, and ate some delicious food! We left around 7 pm to head over to our ORIGINAL destination for the night.

My friend's girlfriend’s birthday party (he’s in Afghanistan right now)! We met her at a friend of ours wedding and since they’ve been together I’ve only hung out with her once. But she’s really sweet and nice! Plus she’s a mommy so she KNOWS about the “week in advance” notices you have to get in order to really plan anything! I consider her a friend now too, but I just had to give you the background history. LOL! Anyway, the drinking commenced! My brother agreed to be our DD in case we got hammered, so I was so excited to not have to watch how many drinks I had. But again, unfortunately, I had a tummy ache from all the food I had eaten at the birthday party that I didn’t get to drink that much. And because of that food, it seemed to take a lot of drinks to even get me feeling tipsy. But, I had fun for the most part. I even got to see a friend I hadn’t seen since 2007! Then, to just add the cherry on top, we got to Skype with our friend in Afghanistan!! It was so awesome!! But, during the whole party the hosts, and owners of the house we were in were fighting!! He’s the friend from the wedding I spoke of earlier. We've all been friends for a long time, and these guys were “my boys”, so we've usually been invited to these shindigs. But his old lady has never liked me, and in fact, was a bit surprised when I showed up. Turns out she gave the birthday girl the 21 questions as to why I had been invited? Hmm, I guess it’s not a party if there’s no drama! But anyway, I kept my nose out of it, and I even asked if they wanted me to leave because I didn't want to cause any problems. Everyone told us to stay, and then halfway through the night, shit hit the fan. All I can say is that stuff was thrown, doors were slammed, and my friend ended up having to drive off for about 45 minutes, leaving us all there wondering what the hell was going on?! Once he came back, we (birthday girl, another male BFF, and I ) had a good 30 minute heart to heart with him. We just listened to him vent and let him know that whatever he decides to do, is all up to him and we're there for him 100%. That was our cue to head out, so I called my brother and we left at 1:00 am. I’m proud to report that I wasn't drunk, I had handled myself well. But still being the responsible person I did call my brother because I didn't want to chance getting pulled over, and they drove us home. We were in bed by 2:00 am, and then up at 6:30 am for Sunday!

Sunday

Was lazy for the first half of the morning. I had taken Aleve before drinking so I had no hangover, woo hoo! We fed and clothed ourselves to get ready for the day. The house was (is still) a mess, so I started to clean a little. Finally making my “recycle” trash cans for plastic and aluminum. I did a load of laundry and then put the grumpy punkin down for a nap. 12 pm came and we were off to town! Dropped my hubs off at a friend's house to get in a jam session (man time), and the little one and I did some shopping. OMG! I spent way too much. I’m debating on taking some of the stuff back and I’m pretty sure I will tomorrow. It was just...wow. I normally do great and stay in a budget, so I have no idea what the hell happened. After that, we made it to my MIL’s for a BBQ. Went to pick up the hubs 30 minutes later and just had a bit of downtime while she cooked. We watched STARDUST, and let Emery draw and play. The food was great and she even had dessert and some mac and cheese for Emery made. We left at about 4:45 pm, and we all slept once we got home! We were out from 5:30- 7:30 pm and Em woke up at about 9 pm! I woke up once in between with some major dizziness, so I went back to sleep. All better afterward, but the bad thing about napping so late in the afternoon is not being able to go back to sleep! We were up until about 11:00 pm. But the babes was bathed, and we were all in our PJ’s just watching TV. So it was a good night!

Today, I am really feeling the lack of sleep I got the past few days. And it sucks! This headache is going nowhere, and I still have so much to do today that I have no idea how I’m going to keep my eyes OPEN! And to top it all off, we had a nice rain storm and lightning show early this morning. It was sooo nice! I LOVE RAIN! So to have that kind of cloudy weather made me really not want to get out of bed this morning! But, I gotta go make that money!  Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend!! And Happy Monday to all of you!!
