This weekend Matt took the kid down to see his family in Chesapeake. I was going to go along, but I had some other things already planned and Matt decided I could use the downtime by myself. (Isn't he wonderful?) Although I did feel slightly guilty, I know grammy and papa are there and it's the car rides alone with both kids that would worry me the most. But the drive down went fine, we'll see about the drive back! I understand that Adrian misses me and won't let grammy out of his sight.
So I decided to make the most of the weekend and made some additional plans to see friends. I thought I'd quick write it all down before I forget everything wonderful that I did!
Friday I spent the day doing nothing much. It was heavenly. It was a rainy, dreary day and I bummed around the house cleaning up, doing some laundry, reading, etc. I took a nap and ordered in some dinner! I had plans to meet up with Sarah and Tina at Dogfish Head Ale House for drinks and that's what I did that night. It was so weird to be going out (as compared to coming home) after dark. It was fun! I came home, read a bit and watched some TV.
Saturday morning I slept in, took a LONG hot shower and went out shopping. It's been a while since I was shopping by myself so I enjoyed every second of it. I was shopping for some new sheets and food/drinks for that night. After shopping, I came home, got another nap and cleaned for a while. Jess, Clair and Heather came over that night. We had some drinks, snacked, played some games and I crashed about 1:30. They all stayed the night and we were up and out the door by 9:15.
Sunday I had brunch with Rosanna at 10. We went to Arties and they really are fabulous. After brunch I came home, hung around for a while and then had book club at 2. I love book club. It's a fabulous group of women. I ran a couple errands and then met up with Karen for dinner. After I came home, I took a nice hot bubble bath and started a new book. I stayed up to finish it!
This morning I've done some laundry and now I'm going to make dinner for tomorrow night right away. Matt's going to want to make his Thai Basil chicken for tonight.
Anyway, that was my weekend. It was FABULOUS. I can't wait to see my kids and Matt though. Good news is that tomorrow I have Corrine here to help with mother's helper stuff. So I'll still have a helping hand.
