Busy Weekend

Where did the weekend go? Friday afternoon Mikaela left to go to Gafney with her friend, Jessica. I took off 2 hours early since we are not allowed overtime and I had too many hours. I spent most of that time wandering around Hancock Fabrics - all by my MYSELF! It was wonderful!! I had to take advantage of the sale on machine embroidery thread. I actually got out of there for less than $15.00. Friday night we went to Texas Roadhouse with our small group. We finished our study on Colossians last week so this week we took a little break and just went out with the adults. Cassidy went to a slumber party at her friend, Akira's, house. Josiah spent the night with his friend Dale. That just left Lexi. Candace came over and we thought they would be alright but they got scared so Candace's Papa came over and took them back to their house. We went to pick Lexi up and she and Candace were both out cold!! I didn't think we would ever get her woke up enough to get her to the truck.

Alan and I, along with Lexi, were up bright and early Saturday morning. Cassidy had to be picked up at 7 am. After some "navigational challenges" ;) we found the house and picked a very sleepy Cassidy up along with her friend, Kiley. We dropped Alan at Perkins for the Men's group meeting. From there we went through the drive thru at Arbys to see if Cameron was working and get me some COFFEE!! We got some breakfast and my coffee, talked to Cameron for a few minutes and headed home. By the time I got home I was so tired I couldn't eat my breakfast or even drink my coffee. I laid down for a little while...which turned into a few hours. While I was sleeping Alan decided to go get a battery for the van so it would run. After he installed the battery he took the van to our office where his car had been sitting since Wednesday. He then replaced the fuel pump on his car. When I woke up it was time to jump in the shower, drop Kiley off, stop at the store for chips and some quick cash and head to a birthday party for Alex. Alex turned 14 and wanted to have a picnic at the soccer field. It was fun. Alan met us there with Josiah, who he picked up at the movies on his way home with his car. (Josiah said that "Game Plan" is great!) After the party we dropped off Alan's car at church since it was close and drove back to West Ashley (our office) to pick up the van. We got back to the house and crashed! I got up and went to the store for the stuff to make chicken pot pies. I fixed 2 of those, heated up leftover chili for supper and then pretty much crashed for the evening. We watched some of the Fox Reality Marathon - the last 2 episodes of "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance". Then watched "Numb3rs" that I recorded the night before.

Sunday morning we went to church - we were even on time!! 8:30 am. We stayed after church for a small group leaders meeting. We are planning on starting our own small group here within the next few weeks. Then it was time for Awana. Josiah went to small group for the middle school boys. I am not sure exactly what they did. I am sure it involved video games and something like football or ultimate frisbee. :) The girls and I headed home to warm up the chicken pot pie that I made Saturday. Alan went and picked up Josiah. We didn't do much the rest of the night. I started some laundry and then worked on some essay questions for class.

This morning we overslept, Lexi missed the bus and we had to take her to school. I just want to know, where did the weekend go? I always start off with the best of intentions. It rarely happens. This coming weekend will be just as crazy. We are having our Fall Festival at church. We will start working on that beginning Friday night. It will be another busy weekend but so well worth it. I will take lots of pictures at the Fall Festival to post.
