Celebrated my mom's birthday with her yesterday. Unfortunately, she was home alone while we were at church, a meeting, a Sunday trip to Costco and then a second time while we went to our new Pastor's installation at church.
We did manage to get her to dinner and they gave her a complimentary dessert. I felt bad, as this was supposed to be a quiet, at home weekend. It was a weekend we were home and slept in our own beds and as weekends go lately, it was quiet. No gymnastic meets at least. I did have to go shopping (it was 2 ugly trips!) and worked a college basketball game. The boss had a meeting with our new Pastor and a date with his youngest (Father-daughter dance for Girl Scouts) and had to go into work both days.
We did manage to get 2 movies watched, Maze Runner and the newest Captain America. We also managed to get some laundry done, dishes done, the dishwasher cleaned and rooms mostly mucked out (although Bean's still needs work).
Last week was brutal again, although Dizzy got her high bar kip for the first time and is looking forward to competing this weekend. A new format for this meet, they will be competing in the shopping mall. If you're in Bozeman Friday, Saturday or Sunday, swing by the mall and see these amazing athletes. No admission fees, so it's a great chance to see what we're growing up here in Montana.
Meetings galore this week, and I still have nothing fit for human consumption for my writers group, but am working on the writing prompt we received two weeks ago. I'll share later.
Last week marked 20 years since the Boss proposed. It was a busy day where we barely saw each other and he was home sick from work. Not much romance there! We do have a date set for Valentines Day, if we can get home from the meet in time.
Today is a big day in Bean's life. He starts his first official job. Yes, my boy will be singing the ABC song for hours on end while shelving books at the library. He's pretty excited about it.
Have Valentines gifts for the kids already and ordered my fitbit over the weekend. Time to up those steps each day, in conjunction with doing the stupid plank challenge that has me frustrated. I'm hoping to be ready in the next year or so to do a 5K without pain. Last time I tried this I crippled myself, so it will be slow and steady working towards it. I never thought I could do the plank challenge, but I can hold it for over a minute now.
Anyhow, guess I'd better change laundry and snuggle with my cat. He's all but blocking the keyboard so I pay him some attention. We started with him happy to sleep in the window, watching for the bad doggies that invaded his home earlier today. Now, not so much!
Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to manage some mischief!
