Life has been totally crazy last week! I feel like life needs to slow down a little. But it’s inevitable with the holidays. Last Friday I drove 4 hours to pick up my niece and nephews to come stay with me for the weekend while their parents went out of town for their anniversary. I left at 10:30 am, got there at 2:30 pm – with a stop for lunch and a stop for the bathroom, then we left at 4:00pm and got home at 7:30. It was totally crazy. I was tired after being in the car all day long. Luckily I only had Parker.
Saturday night we kept my other niece and nephew as well because their parents wanted to go out for their anniversary. (In our Fam, there is an Anniversary on Nov 18, Nov 19 and Nov 22) We had the kids (all 7 of them) in bed and asleep by 9 pm. My parents listened for them while we went to see the 11:30 show of Breaking Dawn. (I’ll post my thoughts on the movie in another post)
We got home about 2 and when I walked in to check on the kids one of the nieces told me the bed was cold. I thought it’s because she was barely covered. When I went to cover her, the sheets were wet. Poor thing had wet the bed and we had to change the sheets. We got in bed about 3 and Parker came and got in bed with me at 4:45 — I was tired the next morning when we got up at 7:15!!
I was amazed we were on time to church! Sunday everyone was over to eat lunch and my sis-in-law said that she needed to make a grocery list and that she wanted gumbo but didn’t like how hers turned out last time. I told her that if she bought the groceries, I’d cook! So last night everyone was back over for gumbo — sadly it didn’t taste right. But it was okay.
Tonight she is getting the stuff for me to make chicken taquitos! I could get use to this. Not having to go to the grocery store. Just have to cook! That would be fantastic if every day was like that
I attempted to make pie crust today from scratch. I have never made pie crust and I have never made a pie…we’ll see how they turn out…
