Weekends

Remember when weekends were fun and relaxing? I can't remember the last time I had a weekend that wasn't full of commitments and chores.

Last weekend:

1. Three family dinners to cook for.
2. Parade
3. Fireworks display
4. Coming home from fireworks display to find block roped off with crime scene tape because neighbor had pipe bomb.

This weekend should be a little more relaxing, since we're just moving my husband's parents stuff out of their house since they are moving across the country.

What does it say about my life that national holidays are stress generating events, rather than relaxing ones? And when do I get some time off?

My day

1. Wii Sports tells me I can throw a 93mph fastball.
2. The idea of me throwing anything 93mph makes me laugh and laugh.
3. I'm going on a date tonight. Few things are better than free babysitting.
   
4. My free babysitters are moving to the other side of the country next week.
5. Did I mention I'm going on a date tonight? Wooo!
6. Cooper is learning to use a spoon. This involves him scooping food up with the spoon and then picking it out of the bowl of the spoon with his other hand. Oh well, at least the scooping is progress, right?
   
7. I really don't know how I feel about this.
