Let's Break This Up Part 2 - Other Weekend Stuff

I got up this morning feeling like crap.  There is no amount of sleep that is enough right now.  The fact that Ev is almost 7 months old and still isn't sleeping through the night sucks.  Brandon did this when he was a baby, but turned out, he had a hernia.  After they fixed that, he slept great.  Hell, that kid will still sleep 13 or 14 hours a day if you let him!  I guess my only saving grace this week is that I'm not working on Friday and not coming into work till noon on Monday.  Both days, I'll drag my ass outta bed and take Ev to daycare so that I can come home and go back to bed.


I have so much on my mind right now.  It's all just a jumbled mess because I'm so freaking sleepy!  Umm, what did I even wanna talk about here?  Oh yeah, the weekend.




Not too much to report, I took the big kids to the dance Friday night, which they informed me on Saturday that it sucked, then went down the street to Joel's house with Ev and Kyle.  It was your run of the mill sitting around a fire listening to music.  He made chili, which was probably the best I've ever had.  For looking like a scary biker dude, Joel is pretty much a culinary genius.  Anytime he has a party, I go, simply because I wanna eat whatever he made.  I both ate and drank too much and by midnight was a hot mess.  Kyle was still sick, so he'd went home to bed earlier and Ev was already in bed, so I crawled in fire stankin clothes on and all.  Not 15 minutes later Tara and her current whatever-you-wanna-call-him came storming in my back door, which is in my bedroom.  They wanted to go to the Lion's Den.  Never one to turn down a trip to play with dildos and other assorted toys, we all crawl into Kyle's big red truck, since he's the only sober one.

I never get tired of this place.  I mean, I have been pissed off with my purchases there before.  Let this be my public service announcement for the day......  Jenna Loves Justin is not good porn.  And it's really not good porn when you spend $45 on it.  End of announcement, I hope you'll all be better people for that nugget of wisdom.  Anyways, having let a sheltered life in rural Pennsylvania, I really didn't know there were so many "products" out there.  I'm just fascinated by all of it.  I mean, I'm not into alot of the shit that they sell, but I often find myself wondering how people come up with some of the product and thinking that they must have really interesting jobs......  We were too drunk to make a logical purchase, but I did find some interesting things I'll have to go back and check out further.  There was some witty banter about Tara knocking on a trucker's door who was parked in the lot and propositioning him, but she passed.  Kyle got us all home and I was done.

Morning came too early.  The big kids stayed at their friend's house, so I had to get up with Ev.  That was ok though because we had to get pictures taken.  I ran out and picked up the big kids and everyone got ready.  I'll keep this short, pictures sucked.  It took way too long and put me really behind for the day, but my kids are cute, check them out. 

Have no fear, I paid for the electronic low res pics to be copyright free. 

So after that I had to hurry up, go to the bank because I haven't been able to get anything out of the ATM in a week now, go home, change kids clothes and head to soccer, which we've already talked about.  By the time I got home at 3:30 I was EXHAUSTED.  I got Ev in bed and went to lay down for a minute.  5 minutes later Kyle walked in.  I snuggled up and napped until the Ohio State game got exciting.  You know, the end....  Disappointed they won, I got back up and got ready to have people over.  I was still so sleepy, but whatever, it was Saturday night, I had no babysitter and Kyle was going to a party.  I was having people over whether I wanted to or not.  

I got the projector and everything setup outside and a fire going.  Finally I got Ev to bed.  He had only slept about 20 minutes earlier when I put him down.  Gavin had gotten him up and played with him while I napped.  God I love that kid.  Slowly some people started to show up.  I had no idea the fights had started at 8, so I turned them on halfway into them.  Like I said before, disappointing.  Some fights are like that though.  Oh well.  

After the fights were done, Kyle came back from what I'm guessing was a lame party and we all started channel surfing looking for something else since it was only 11.  T happened across Reality Bites and we watched it and laughed, because back in the day, this movie was sooooo cool.  Not so much now.  Kyle was too young to understand any of what we were laughing at, which made us laugh even harder.  When it was over, we all called it a night.  Ev slept for 12 hours straight..........

So of course by 7am, he was up and ready to go!  Yet again, the big kids weren't home, so I popped him into his swing in front of cartoons (yeah, go ahead, judge me) and fell back asleep on the couch.  Later on Kyle conned me outta breakfast, so I made french toast, eggs and bacon.  MMMMM.  yum.

I cooked the bacon in the oven.  When I have time, I always do this.  It comes out SOOOOOO much better this way!  Way more evenly cooked and I never even considered doing it until one of my friends did it a long time ago.  Plus, working at a restaurant supply company, I have the BIG ASS cookie sheets so I can cook the whole pound at once.  

Later in the day I went to a Scentsy party at JoJo's house.  Any of you who haven't heard of it before, they make the most AWESOME burners and wax to make your whole house smell good.  I think I sniffed over 80 different scents, ultimately choosing 3.  It was hard to choose, they all smelled so good!  JoJo's sister is going to be a consultant, so I can hear my wallet getting emptier as we speak.  I know it's a girl thing to be talking about, but I think even guys wanna live somewhere that smells nice :)  even if it is just for the ladies you bring home, lol!

I watched my Steelers lose, then went home and decided I REALLY wanted pork chops, so I made dinner.  Damn, I just cooked two meals in one day.  WTF?  I'm a little happy Kyle is leaving next week just for the simple fact I can stop cooking all the time and worrying that I'm gaining weight!  I don't know what gets into me.  My kids won't eat anything, so when someone else is around, I feel like I need to be a domestic goddess and cook all the time.  Plus, we all know that the quickest way to a boy's heart is through his stomach!  Well I'm sure it's through something else as well, but we won't go there right now......

Happy Monday :)
