What a weekend! It started out to be a long yucky weekend due to my constant stomach mess. My hubby and I have been dealing with upset stomachs for a week now. No, fever or anything just upset stomachs.
Anywho, we had planned on going out Friday for dinner and a movie. I didn't feel well most of the day but I knew this might be our last chance for a while so I took it. Plus, I had been waiting to see the movie that we were going to see for a while. So off we went to eat at our favorite restaurant and to see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. It was excellent, maybe my favorite of the three Underworld movies.
If that wasn't enough we came home and watched, The Strangers, after the kids went to bed. Now that was a scary movie and one I don't care to see again. I like fantasy movie, I don't like ones based on true stories. They give me the creeps.
Saturday was spent at a birthday party for a very special little girl, Poogie's best friend. It was so much fun. Poogie's only regret was that she didn't get to spend more one on one time with her bud, but then that is hard to do at a birthday party full of little girls. She still had a blast and got to spend time with several of her other friends from dance class and even her dance teacher whom she just loves.
From there we went to a swim party with our local homeschool group. The kids had a great time, and my hubby and I got to visit with our friends too. The kids came home happy but exhausted. And that leads to today, which was spent cleaning in the morning and resting the rest of the day. We were all still tired and not feeling well so it was nice just to lay around and watch movies this afternoon.
Now off to read my book and hopefully to go to sleep at a decent hour.

So this is why they call Wednesday, hump day!
I don't know what it is about Wednesdays lately with our family. It has become the dreaded day all week. No one wants to do their school work or chores. They are cranky and tired. This has become a phenomenon in our house over the past month. We are cruising along great and then BAM it's Wednesday. I am just glad it is almost over so we can move on. Only a few hours till Thursday, yay!

Weekend update
The weekend is just hours from being a memory. It has been pretty much a blur. Friday was spent standing over TT to get him to complete all his school work for the week. He isn't very happy with me at this moment since I took away all his electronic toys until his attitude improves. And when I say all his toys I mean all, the PS2, PSP, and Ipod. I am just tired of being the nagging mom so that he gets anything done. And this isn't only about school work, its chores too.
Anywho, Saturday was Be a Ballerina day at Poogie's dance school. She had a great time dancing, dressing up in costumes, having her make up and hair done just like a real ballerina. This is the second year we have done it and she has enjoyed it so much. I will post photos from the day this week.
Afterwards we met TT and my hubby to go shopping for mattresses. Our bed has had it. My hubby and I wake up each morning sore and not feeling very rested. So we have been wanting to get new mattresses, until we priced some at a local furniture store. They were running a sale, yeah a sale where they mark everything way up and then say its on sale at ?% off. I actually started laughing when I seen some of the prices of a queen size mattress set. I mean they cost more that my first car. We are going to keep looking until we find something more reasonable.
Today was spent going to the local Wally World to buy groceries, due to the fact that my children have eaten just about all the food in the house. After putting all of it away, my hubby took the kids out to ride their 4-wheelers since it was actually above freezing. I spent a few hours scrapbooking the pictures I took when we went to the American Girl Bistro in Atlanta, GA last may. It was nice and relaxing. I also got to watch a few episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer from season 2. My hubby picked up season 2 for me Friday when he got home.
We ate dinner, put the kids to bed and watch the season premiere of Big Love on HBO. Looks like it will be an interesting season. Who knows. I guess I better turn in. It's back to school and housework tomorrow.
