Weekend Update

Friday night we were at home.  Bri was supposed to go to a dance at school, but she really had not earned it.  She said for 2 days that she didn't have homework, but has 2 projects and a paper due on Monday.  She hadn't started any of them.  She has also been just plain mean to Alex and disrespectful to me.  She has a semi-formal homecoming dance in December that hopefully she will be able to go to.

Saturday morning we were home.  Alex got hit in the face and came running down the stairs crying for me.  So, he and I snuggled on the couch and I asked him if he wanted an ice pack.  Normally an ice pack is the cure for most of his bruises, scrapes, whatever. He looked at me, still crying and said, "No, but I would like a popsicle.  I think popsicles are the cure for everything.  Momma we should make a commercial for TV about popsicles curing everything."  I have to say, I like his logic.  After we got ready we ran a couple errands.  I'm still running a low grade fever, so by the time I got ready I was ready to go back to bed.

Sunday we were home again.  I'm still just not feeling good at all.  I woke up feeling better than I have the last few days, but not 100%.  Then, as is becoming normal, my fever was up about 3:30.  I am SO TIRED of not feeling good and laying around.  Anyway, I decided to use Sunday as a tootle around on the computer day.  I may have found a new obsession, Pintrest.com.  I am just learning how to use it and sent an email requesting an invitation.  I will update you more as I learn how to use it!  The time change messed with us all day.  The kids were ready to eat lunch at 10:30.  I told them they had to wait a bit.  I thought it was later than it actually was all day.  I wish whoever made the time change decision would pick and leave it alone!  Alex was being sassy to me and asked me something and I told him to have a holly jolly day.  I thought Bri was going to pee her pants laughing.  She asked me where that came from and I told her I had no idea.

Bri informed me this weekend that she would like to try her hand at baking!!  I'm so excited. I want to try baking, but it scares me for some reason.  I guess it's because everything has to be measured and you can't deviate from the recipe to much.  That's why I like cooking, you can add some of this and not some of that.  The people at Siemens may be loving Brian or hating him soon, because we will be sending our endeavors to work with him.
