I had a FABULOUS weekend!

It was very busy... When I was home, it was to sleep! (mostly)

Friday:

After I got off at work, I had to go to Fitness And Fun.

Zoie had recital practice for their tumbling routine...

After the practice was over we went home, picked up Glen to take Zoie to his sister's house so she could stay with John and Avita for the weekend.
After Glen and I dropped her off at his sister's, we went to his friend's house for a bbq!
Mmmmm bbq, if you know me, you know I LOVE bbq!
We were there til after midnight, having a good time... But boy.
The drive home SUCKED! Glen had some beers and didn't want to drive, so I did. But man, was I TIRED. It was extremely hard to keep my eyes open!
We finally got home at 1 and I went straight to bed.

Saturday:
Glen was supposed to work in the morning so we really didn't get to sleep in.
After Glen left for work, I got ready for my day of 4-wheeling!
It was my friend's birthday weekend...
Happy 30th Kelly!
I had a BLAST.
Great friends, MORE bbq, and lots of mud!

Oh how I wish I could do this every weekend.
I do have my own 4 wheeler, just no way of towing it around... yet.
There were only a couple of crashes! I would have taken more pictures but no way was I risking losing my phone in a mud pit!

When I first got out there, just my friend Thomas and I went out riding.
We were going down a trail... Then all of a sudden we seen this BIG maroon thing.
Yeap, apparently some ppl were partying the night before (not people we knew)
and there was a Buick Rendezvous stuck in the middle of the trail!
Yeah.... some idiot decided it would be a good idea to take this expensive car down a trail MADE for 4-wheelers! They were missing their bumper, grill, had dented rims from running into trees and they were only 2 feet away from at least a 20 ft drop off to a HUGE creek! If that was my kid, their ass would be grass!

Later on, we seen the idiots... but luckily they got the car out.
Have no idea how but they did it!

Anyways, after a long day of fourwheeling, I headed home about 8:30.
Where I was at, we luckily missed all the hail and rain that we got in my hometown.
We would hear thunder and it would sprinkle but nothing like what was at home!
Tennis ball sized hail!
Ugh, you better believe I'm calling my insurance to get a claim on my roof/siding!
(Although I just submitted my claim online and accidentally put that the damage happened on Sunday, not Saturday, guess when they call I will have to fix that!)
And I know, I will have some damage, you should see Glen's car that was parked out front! It's BAD. Dents on the hood, the top, the trunk, chips on his windshield!

Anyways... after I got home, I went to bed!

Sunday:
Glen and I slept til 10am! WHAT? Yeah, that NEVER happens.
I woke up with super sore arms.
After we got moving, we ran to the grocery store to pick up some food.
Went home, ate "breakfast". Then afterwards we had to head to his mom's to get the rest of his stuff out of her basement. Luckily my dad let us borrow his van!
Got it all done in 1 trip... But then we still had to drive to pick up Z from his sister's and rush back because Zoie had recital practice again...

After that, we went home, Glen cooked Chili... we ate dinner and passed out!

Hope you had a good weekend, I know I did!

Wow. The last two weeks have flown by! I meant to do a weekend wrap up last week, I even started the post but never finished it. And there was at least 1 thing I wanted to "record" from last weekend, so I'm doing 2 weekend wrap up's in ONE post.

Thursday, Jan 12...
Zoie had a "crazy" dress day at school... I really just wanted to post this picture!

Two different shoes, pants inside out, shirt backwards, a side pony tail, and a goofy looking face, like always! haha

Friday, Jan 13...

I got off of work an hour early so I was able to pick Zoie up at my mom's and then run home to prepare for my night of babysitting my friend's two kids. My friend's daughter is the same age as Zoie and I was also watching her 18 month old son. What cuties! Since my friend was going to a concert and then going out afterwards, the kiddos got to spend the night! And this was Zoie's FIRST sleep over at our house! Trust me, she has had PLENTY of sleep overs but this was our first time hosting one! Zoie was super stoked!

Tazaia and Zoie, in Zoie's MESSY room.

The night was easy. They all had McDonald's for dinner and played and played. Of course the girls didn't want Zareck (the lil boy) in Zoie's room, so I kept him occupied in the living room, watching some Sesame Street and playing. I forgot how much Sesame Street can be a saving grace when you have a child! lol

Eventually it was bed time. The girls slept in the living room and Zareck in his pack-n-play. My friend did come pick Zareck up about 1:30 since he had to go to his dad's in the morning.

The girls being goofy.

The next morning, we all woke up, ate breakfast. The day went on as normal and I had Tazaia til after 5 when her mom got off of work.

The rest of the weekend was normal and nothing exciting...

So onto this weekend!

Friday

At work my boss and his mom were gone for a LONG time... Eventually his mom got back and she told me to go ahead and go home since the roads were getting bad. The plans that night was Zoie was supposed to go to the sock hop for girl scouts and Glen & I were going to hit up the gym. But since they roads were so bad, the sock hop got cancelled. So we spent the evening at home. BUT on the way home, I had a pretty good scare! After I picked up Zoie, we were headed to my house. I took the interstate... BAD idea. The exit for Wood River was AWFUL! I was going super slow... And I seen cars ahead of me slowing down, so I tried to slow down as well.... Ummmmm needless to say, I wasn't slowing down. My car was swerving and just sliding... I was freaked out that I was going to hit the cars in front of me... The only was I was able to slow down, was I started driving half way into the ditch. Lucky the grass slowed me down plenty and I was going 5 mph down the rest of the exit ramp... Which induced me into wanting a glass of wine when I got home and mama was going to have her wish!

Of course Zoie wanted some too! Don't worry, she just wanted to drink out of the same type of glass as Mommy... Her drink is fruit punch.

Glen was cooking dinner when I got home, so while Zo and I waited, we worked on her homework.

After dinner, we spent time in the living room, watching Monk. Glen & I were multitasking playing EQ and watching tv... Once Zoie finally fell asleep. We continued watching tv in our bedroom before heading to bed.

Saturday

We all slept in. Glen cooked us some amazing omelets! We also decided that we were going to grill... Well, Glen was going to grill and I was going to do the prep work for the food for dinner. We invited my sister, her husband, and my 2 nephews over to join us. They came over, we watched tv, ate lots of food, and had a good time!

Sunday

We all slept in, again! Glen slept longer then all of us. So while waiting on him to get up, I finished up laundry and hung out with Zoie in the living room. Once he was up, it was about time for lunch. We had a late lunch at Bread Co. And then later on in the evening we took Zoie to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. The rest of the night was the same as every night!.... We tried to take over the world... Okay more like our chore list but same thing!

Hope y'all had a great weekend! I know I wasn't ready for it to be over!

Whaaaaaaa? What's this? An actual weekend wrap up? Psssh, it's been long enough! Well don't get tooo excited though, my weekend was actually quite boring and I only took pictures of 1 thing... But that's not all that interesting either! lol

Friday: I've been working a lot of overtime, at least 2 hours over every night. Well Friday, I decided I wanted to leave at 6 instead of 7 so I could go get my hair cut! Normally, when I say I'm going to get my hair cut, I do something DRASTICALLY different. But my hair is soooo long, I really didn't want to lose much length. So I added more layers and "framed the face" with long layers as well. Almost got side swept bangs... But I wasn't brave enough... Here are my horrible cell pics of the before/after. Top pic, my hair before the cut. Middle pic, a blurry pic after the cut. Bottom pic, blow dried and straightened it... Really can barely tell a difference in these pics... But yeah.

I will attempt to get better pictures of the cut, although like I said, not a huge difference. My hair was just to long and all over the place, I needed a little bit of change. I MIGHT go back for some bangs... But not yet. Lol

Saturday: Woke up and went to work for some more over time! Then after work, my sister had Zoie, so Glen took me to lunch. We drove over to St. Louis for some Gus's Pretzels. YUM. I was having a pretzel craving earlier in the week and Glen wanted to take me there. Woo hoo. Afterwards we went Christmas/Grocery shopping. Before even getting out of Walmart, my mom picked up Zo from my sister's... So after I dropped Glen and the stuff off at the house, I went to get Z. Came home and relaxed... Zoie had a long nap at my sister's house, so she ended up staying up passed midnight!

Sunday: ahhh was a pretty boring day. Just laying around the house... Until I decided it was time to clean Zoie's pigsty of a room... Should have taken a before picture... But I would be too ashamed. I rearranged some of her furniture so she would have more room to play... Her room isn't done, my lovely mother will be coming over today to help me organize the rest of it.... Right now her toys are in a HUGE tote in the hallway waiting to be put away. Glen even went back to Walmart to buy more totes for Z's room, that way we can store the toys she isn't playing with out of her room, to save space. After Glen got back we went to my friend's Thomas and Kelly's for chili and to hang out. And that was about it. Went home, Z got a bath and went to bed. And yeap... Pretty awesome, I know. :-p

Hope y'all had a great weekend! And try to keep warm.

Wow! This weekend was {mostly} awesome! The only down fall, was me coming down the the cold... I felt it Friday morning but I overloaded myself with vitamin C to make sure I wouldn't get hit with it full blast on Glen's birthday and the day after.

Friday: GLEN'S 26th BIRTHDAY! After I got off of work, I went to my parent's to pick up Zoie... Then, I headed home to get ready for our night out and to get Zo's clothes packed. Zoie was ready to get out of the door as soon as we got home, she was soooo excited to be able to stay the night with Avita and John {Glen's niece and nephew} Zo and I gave Glen his gift right when we got home... {Bag of jerky and a gift certificate to get an hour massage} Anywho, after getting ready and taking off... We took Zo to Glen's sisters and then headed to the mall to eat dinner at Olga's. His friends Cody and Jazzman {married couple} ate with us. I told Glen it was up to him what dinner was and he knew I'd be wanting Olga's lately so to make me happy, that's what he picked. {Isn't he the best?} Dinner was good... And since one of his friends mentioned it was his bday, he got a free dessert.

{I wouldn't suggest reaching for it though... He may stab you with a spoon.}

{It even said Happy B-Day on it, although by the time I took the pic you couldn't read DAY}

After dinner, all 4 of us headed to Baxter's to meet another couple for some pool and a few drinks. I royally sucked at pool... I normally do, but no biggie. We all had a good time. Right before midnight, we all headed our separate ways and we went home. Although, Glen's bday present didn't end when we got home... I'll leave that to your imagination though. :-P

Saturday: We didn't get to bed til after 2 am and we were already up by 8 am! We both suck at sleeping in. On Saturday, we were going with his mom, sister, niece, nephew, and Zoie to his mom's cousin's house out in the country to have a good time. We got ready and headed to his sister's house to pick up Zoie and to follow his mom out to her cousin's house. Oh, I am soooo envious of her house! It's practically Glen and I's dream house. {When Glen and I first met, our idea of a dream home was practically 100% the same!} The kids got to ride around on the kiddie four-wheelers {battery powered ones}, we also got to take out their little dune buggy. Also, in their basement they had a bar {birthday celebrations for Glen were continuing}, pool table, Penny slot games, air hockey... Yeah, the kids were having a blast! Katie {Glen's sister} had brought their dog with them, Peaches... And I think Peaches was having a better time then the kids... Peaches eventually found a frog and decided she wanted to play with that.

{It's crazy how gentle she was with it, she would lightly paw at it, to get it to jump.}

Anyways...We got there about lunch time and didn't head home til after 9 pm. When we got home, we all crashed.

Sunday: Lazy day! When I woke up, I could tell my nose had been draining all night. I felt horrible. Zoie didn't sound the best either, but she had the cold for several days now. Glen made us some breakfast sandwiches and we relaxed, watched tv, did a few chores, and was just all around lazy. At one point, the meds I had taken were starting to make me drowsy and since Zo was already napping, Glen told me to take a nap and he would run to walmart and get the things we needed. By the time he got back, a little over an hour later, I felt good! We ate left overs for dinner and did the same thing... watch tv and relaxed. By 9, I was putting Zo to bed and Glen & I passed out shortly after!

Now... Well, I still feel icky. I wanted to call off work sooo badly, but I need the money and I am forcing myself to stay the rest of the day. Worse case, I'll go home if I feel THAT bad... But so far so good. Hope y'all had a great weekend!
