Monday

It's already Monday. I can't believe that the weekend is already over. There just aren't enough hours in the weekend for me.

Last night a cold front came into Austin. Now here in Austin cold fronts are different than in other areas. It meant that the temperature went down to the 50's during the night and the high is supposed to be around 85. After over 100 degree temperatures all summer that's down right cold.

I love the cooler nights. It feels so good to snuggle into the bed and be all comfy and warm. Of course right when you get to the good comfy the alarm goes off and it's time to get up and get ready for a new week of work. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and the people I work with. I just wish I could work like say from 10-5. At full pay of course. Then I could sleep in and get up when I feel like it.

I had such a nice weekend. It's so boring but just the way I like it. We had family night on Friday night. Patti has been having problems with her medication so she couldn't make it. We all met at Missy's house and had a nice visit. We sat around the table and ate some pizza and then played a game. It was a short night because everyone was tired after a busy week at work. Plus it had been a more emotional week that usual.

Saturday I had a Daughter of the King meeting in the morning. In the evening the kids came by and surprised me with dinner. We sat and watched Gray's Anatomy. The kids couldn't watch it so I recorded it so we could all watch it together. I love my DVR. The plan was for me to take care of bug for a couple of hours but she would have nothing to do with that. She was determined that she was going home with mommy and daddy. As they drove away, she had that grin on her face. The one that said yup I got my way. She is so much like her mother at that age.

After the kids left, my best friend called to chat. We love to sit and compare stories about our grandchildren. Of course she has more stories to tell since she as three grandchildren and I only have the one. Since I had my precious Serif spend the night with me, she decided it was time for her Layla to spend the night with her granny. Apparently they had a fantastic time too. That is so special. I can't wait until mine will spend the night with me again.

Sunday is our usual shopping day. The grocery store is lots more fun when we go as a family. Makes it go by faster. First we went to Target to get Emily her birthday presents. I think I got some things she will like. I sure hope so. I still can't believe she's going to be 10 years old. Then it was off to the grocery store.

Toddlers are so funny. Last weekend Serif couldn't get enough of me. This weekend she wanted nothing to do with me. Oh I got a quick kiss and she let me hold her for a little while but she really wanted her mommy and daddy this weekend. That's okay. I'll be patient. Maybe next weekend she'll want to be with me again.
