When did that happen? Let's see... Thursday was a blur of sick as a dog, tired, going to 'hey you almost a doctor type intern person' - nearly killing that person when he started pushing on my clogged nose and face - and then gratefully accepting the 'script for stuff to make it better - sinus infection. Yeah.
Slept, laid around Thursday - rolled my fanny out of bed Friday morning - worked almost a full day and died early... Dinner out was good... we went to the big Sandwich place - we hadn't been there in a while. mmm good.
Saturday slept in - a bit - Bubba and I did our running, separately and together. We got a new planter barrel for the back yard, got a new posy to put in it - (big barrel small posy - it looks a little silly right now- it should grow in... ) then we headed to the Lodge, for clean up day. We almost had more Rainbow girls than Lodge and Ladies' Group members - combined. We definitely had more girls than Ladies. Ah well.
The girls did a good job - then helped plant flowers and I'm sure the men were "happy" to have all that "help". But they were cool about it - thank goodness. The kids baled at 4, me and the other lady at 5, and Bubba got home about 6 ish - after he picked up take out dinner. Oh boy - fried chicken and red beans and rice. Tummy wasn't really 'happy' Saturday night.
Sunday up too early - sat around, then we had friends coming over - Bubba was in full "mama" mode. Grumpy, cranky - you know - all the popular dwarfs. ANY way - I get the kitchen 9/10's done - and they are here... the boys head out to go shoot suns - and do manly things - me and friend, former office mate - we sit down, chat about everything and down a bottle of wine - a big bottle of wine.
When the boys get home, we head out to Italian dinner place - also known as we server it on platters so you don't look like the piggy your are... and I are. Oh boy! We ate, and drank and talked, and laughed or maybe that was just me - heck I had a good time. Finally we said our good byes, we got home, I took out my contacts and promptly fell sound asleep on the couch. Bubba 'gently' woke me with his tender tones - shouted from the @##$% rooftops telling me it was late and I should retire to my bedchamber. Shall I demonstrate - I think I shall --- "BOO BOO -- wake your ass up and go to bed - let the dogs out" again in those most tender tones one can only achieve by shouting like a fish monger. Ah that - boys and girls is true love, long term marriage and the knowledge he had I couldn't hit him hard enough in my deadened state. You newly-weds - this is not something you should try at home - leave it to the professionals.
It is now Monday morning - thank goodness the car knows the way in - although I must say that having some daylight when leaving the house is a nice change of pace. As was having Bubba still sound asleep when I leave - no chit no chat and no one in my way - so very nice.
Now the one fly in all this joy and happiness of a weekend was Miss Violet. It appears Saturday morning, she was again wobbling like she was on the two day bender. Stairs became a major issue, up and down, she didn't eat breakfast Saturday and didn't eat much until late Saturday night - and only after it was mostly wet food. She slept downstairs Saturday night much to her mama's worry, but Sunday was up and moving. Most of Sunday she slept, then later in the day woke up, went outside, and then made her way up two steps on the deck then inside, she ate crackers, so I was encouraged. She walked around, slept in the sun, ate her dinner after we left for our dinner, and then made her way upstairs with Bubba and slept with us. She also made her way down the stairs this morning, without much to do, went out but didn't eat much breakfast. I covered her pills in soft dog food, hopefully she will eat more today. Heavy sigh, the old gal is hanging in there...
Shelby is fine - and oblivious. Just like her Dad. :-)
