I had tons and tons of plans for this weekend, so how come they didn’t all get done?

Last week was totally exhuasting at work.  Not sure if it had to do with side effects from the tetanus shot I got last Monday or just a busy week.  Whatever, I got home on Friday and just crashed.  After resting a bit, I spent an hour or so trimming roses and that was it for Friday.

On Saturday I spent about half the day on the phone with family getting caught up on all the family news stuff.  Then got started on laundry.  One of Patrick’s friends (Brett) gave me a ton of baby clothes for Kevin and Soula.  After washing all of them, I sorted, folded and packed them up for shipping to Seattle.  Patrick and Veronica showed up at dinnertime with steaks, chicken and margarita fixings.  We grilled and enjoyed a relaxing dinner out back.

Today I cleaned off the front porch and redid the wreaths and hanging planter, changing from red, white & blue flowers to a mix of summery stuff.  Started cleaning the kitchen when I realized I needed to go shopping for Soula’s upcoming baby shower.  Went to a store I had never visited before, but Kelly has been bugging me to go to–Kohl’s.  OMG, what a great store!  I bought tons of new clothes as well as lots of baby stuff!  Wish I could describe all the cute baby things, but don’t want Soula knowing what I got.  Suffice to say I am unbelievably excited at the cute stuff I found!  Can’t wait for Soula to open the gifts, especially one in particular.  I’ll tell all about it after the shower.

And so now I’m wiped out.  Putting out the trash was about all I could handle tonight.  I’m so ready for bed right now and so I’m off.  Just wish I didn’t have to go to work tomorrow…but I guess that’s how I feel most every Sunday night.
