My Wicked Weekend!

 I had a wonderful weekend

Got my shopping finished up on Friday,

and had to work Saturday.

After work I boogied home and we headed for my

sisters just north of where I work.

All of my step family was there and it was so good to

see them! We had a great time, in all there were

26 of us there. We got home about 11:30 that nite

and I opened up a card that my step-gramma had given

me and inside was a wad of cash!! I couldn't believe my

eyes and almost cried as I showed it to Mike.

How very generous that was of her!!

I phoned her at my sisters house the next morning to say thanx

so much and she said she was happy to do it.

I played hookey from work the next day

cuz Mike's work was  having a 'brunch' at one of the

restaurants here in town. It was pretty much a

hot buffet with sausage, bacon, pancakes, homefries,

cinnamon rolls, fruit, punch and juices.

We all went and had a good breakfast!

That day turned a little sour when the kids were

getting home from Sunday school though

Our red border collie Drifter was hit by a car!

Luckily though the other driver  saw him and had

slowed down and Drifter had seen the car and slowed

down so it ended up he broke his leg, which in all

is just another adventure for us now, in trying to keep

a border collie still, lol, and trying to keep the cast dry

until the end of January! Could have turned out

much worse so I am thrilled that that is the least of

our worries!

Then Sunday nite we were off to the church to watch

3 of the kids in a Christmas concert. They were soooo

adorable!!!lol Afterwards they had snacks in the

basement and I've never seen so many goodies

before in one place, lol!! Yummmmmmy, is all I have to say!

A few of the ladies came up to me and told me what

wonderful kids I had and that it was a pleasure to have

them there. They were so well behaved and polite....

and I have to say that as a mom, that is the greatest

compliment I could ever get!!! I was beaming

We were off to McDonalds afterward which we

just brought home to eat while watching the season

finale of Survivor and drat if my fav Ozzie didn't win!lol

But all in all it was just a great family weekend,

a lot of time spent together just bonding with people

we love.....what a great prelude to what I hope will

be a great holiday season!
