Weekend Updates

We didn't really have much of a weekend. I ended up getting sick early Saturday morning with a stomach virus. I actually was up all night Friday fighting it. Needless to say, I will not be wanting Little Caesar's pizza ever again lol. Friday night is movie night at our house. That's a big deal to Maddy who is ever so addicted to the tv. She wants to watch what she wants when she wants it, so she is so happy to hear when it's movie night. I generally am still working and that occupies her a good bit until I can finish. Before vacation I had been letting her sleep out in the living room on her couch and I would fall asleep beside her on the floor. It's not very comfy for me, but it's a lot more comfy than trying to cram us both in her bed lol. Friday nights around here are just fun filled nights and we do things I normally say no to, such as falling asleep to the tv. I stayed up most of Friday night. Saturday I literally laid down all day. Maddy kept telling me to let her know when I was done being sick...as if I really had a choice lol. I thought it was cute though. Poor thing just wanted mommy to play with her. She ended up taking a nap around 2 p.m. and we both woke up around 4 p.m. I had to gather the strength to get up and get our groceries for the week because Saturday is the ONLY day I have to do so. As I was getting Maddy ready I quickly lost any strength I had and wasn't sure I would make it anywhere. I knew I needed to eat something and all I could think of was frozen yogurt. It's by the grace of God that we did actually make it to the frozen yogurt shop. I got chocolate and Maddy got Watermelon with a bunch of candies. I was quite disappointed that the yogurt didn't taste as good to me as I thought it would. In fact, it made me feel quite puny. After our yogurt and a battle in my head about going home or going to the store, I finally decided I needed to go to the store if we wanted to eat this week lol. Once we got home I cooked dinner, which was lawnmower taco casserole, and then put Maddy to bed and crashed.

Maddy did a good job of keeping herself busy. She was talking to herself (no idea where she gets THAT from) saying, "I just have to color all this book." This little girl is a ball of energy. She is truly very special and a gift from God. There are many days I just stare at her and still can't believe she is here and is mine (yes she is God's and I am just taking care of her on Earth).

Sunday consisted of a bunch of rain. We got bumped up into the slight risk for severe weather, but we weren't really expecting anything severe...definitely no tornadoes.

We didn't make it to church at all today. I really really wanted to go, but I just did not have the energy or strength to get both of us ready. I might could have gone if I just had to get one person ready, but no way could I have gotten us both ready. I attempted to do a load of dishes and a load of laundry, but it didn't work out too well for me lol. I also attempted to make my first batch of boiled squash...again..just not my day cause it didn't really taste that good. I'm  hoping it's just that my taste buds are messed up, but I think I used a little too much water when I cooked them. Oh well...That was our weekend. I definitely feel like I need another weekend because I didn't get to play with Maddy at all and that makes me so sad. She is SUCH a sweetheart! Thursday night she came up to me while I was working and gave me the biggest hug and said, "Mommy....you are the best mommy in the world!" It honestly caught me by surprise because she has NEVER said anything like that before. Those are the moments I will cherish forever :) Hope you all had a great weekend!!!
