busy weekend
It was a busy weekend, and hardly any time to post something new on the website. Actually, no time, unless I wanted to get up for it early. And even tough I really appreciate you as readers, I am not getting up earlier for this blog.
On Friday after work, I did laundry and just lots of home management work. You see, even the most organized persons in the world, do sometimes get behind and have to catch up. The tooth pain got slowly but surely worse. The only way took keep my tooth calm was drinking luke warm water - don't ask me why. So, that is what I did, gallons of water - and about 60 trips to the bathroom.
And finally, our fridge was made! I just checked the date on the night is broke - it was the night of January 23rd, our dinner night with Abby and her dad. Thank you, Art, for fixing it!
Friday evening I went to the wedding reception of my colleague Dee. They got married on December 31st in Iceland! Isn't that exciting?! I went home early and tried to sleep (while drinking water)
Saturday, I woke up with a lot of pain in my tooth. I took Tylenol and hoped for the better. Good thing with kids is that you do not have the time to just sit and wait, so lots of destractions. But we started our day as usual at JJ's. Coffee, tea and a muffin for Martin, Barth and Rhonda, and a glass of water for me. After that Barth and Martin finished some work in the yard, that still needed to be done. We are getting really close to moving and so even though it was freezing cold, it had to be done.
I met up with Kara at CTB for lunch. I had not seen her this year yet, so lots of catching up to do. I ordered a warm panini with cheese. What was I thinking? hardly able to eat it and drinking lots of water after each bite - it was silly! At home I took some Ibuprofen, maybe that would do the trick.
During the boys nap, I had planned to finish my secret sewing project. But it all got out of order and Sandra and Lee came over before I could even start. Lee and Martin worked on our car, while Sandra and I chatted (and drank water) and the kids played.
After that I was exhausted. I cooked, ate, and remembered that we had a surprise birthday party to go to. Usually, I would have enjoyed it a lot, but that night was just too much. After the "Surprisseeeeeeee", I took the boys home and we went straight to bed. Martin stayed a bit longer and got a ride home.
Sunday, I woke up and the pain was gone.... no pain? Okay, well, let me go to the bathroom and see, but still no pain. Breakfast, ouch, that hurt. But it was different, not the hot/cold piercing pain, but now it is more like it is badly bruised. Chewing is hard, but no pain in between (this might be the trick to lose some weight). Yeah!
And the Sunday sort of came and went (church, groceries, more groceries, and working for MOPS on the newsletter) untill 6pm. The Super Bowl XLIV started: New Orleans playing the Indiana Colts. Abby came to watch the game in her pink Colts t-shirt, while Martin was cheering for New Orleans. Crazy family, we have!
Part of the Super Bowl is that this is the night for new commercials. I missed quite a couple working on the newsletter, but I was diappointed by the commercials. Not that funny or briljant. But I totally completely loved this commercial:
Needless to say, unless this is the first thing you did today - New Orleans won.
Matthew has been coughing all weekend, making sure that both Martin and I didn't sleep well, so I took him to the doctor this morning. Poor little guy has an ear infection, hopefully the antibiotics kick in soon and will help him to recover quickly.
