• Got in a fuss with Alpha Male over me going to my weekly (which I haven't been to in almost a month) scrapbook night. On the 1st and 3rd Fridays, the local scrapbook store holds a crop from 6-11pm. It is nice bacause you have free run of the store and access to all her cool tools. His beef was that he doesn't "see" me all day since I don't see a point in coming home just to turn right back around in the same direction from which I came. He claims he wants to see me if even for a few minutes and he is fine with me going if he can see me. I still don't understand it but whatever. I ended up coming home, scarfing down a piece of pizza, cleaning up the kids and making it there at 6:15. I think I got 6 pages done... haha

Saturday

• Alpha Male let me sleep in and cooked us all pancakes. Very sweet of him. Wildman proceeded to eat four...yes FOUR pancales all by his little self. I don't know where he puts it all. His little belly was as hard as a rock.
• It was tax-free weekend so I tried (to no avail) to talk Alpha Male into letting me purchase a laptop since I would be saving money. Did I get said laptop? nope. I do have access to one, but it isn't mine and I just know as soon as I learn to love it like my own that she (MIL) will come calling for it back . Not to mention it needs a new battery and I am not going to invest my money into someone else's computer.
• Ended up going to a few yardsales. Alpha Male bought a few of those magnetic key holder things, Drama Queen got a large stuffed Simba, and I got a book. Oh, and AM got a hideous brown and yellow mushroom canister set. I have to get a picture up here of it. It is awful, but he insisted that his deceased mother had one just like it and he had.to.have.it. AM is the king of all things redneck and ugly. Ugh!
• I did discover ( and later purchased) a bookcase for Wildman's room. It needs a good coat of paint, but it goes really well with his room decor and it was only $10! And it isn't that flimsy particle board crap that they sell at Walmart. It is solid wood (aka heavy as hell). It appears to be an old TV Armoire that was repainted. I'll post a pic as soon as I can. It had a mathinc dresser too, but it was sold, darn it. Oh well.
• Had the pleasure of mowing the grass. Weee! Of course the I-pod batteries died within 5 minutes of starting. It was nice out (only @ 89 degrees- get me a sweater!) so I enjoyed being outside for awhile.

Sunday

• We volunteered (or were volunteered) to help with the nursery at church. They have recently had to split the nursery up due to the large number of kids there now. This is a good thing. True signs of a healthy church. And it was all fine and dandy. Wildman was a little unsure about not having his sister in the same room, but he did fine. We figured since there were two of us that one would go in the 0-2 room and the other would be in the 2-3 room. Nope, we were both in the 2-3 room. Which is fine except I think there were five total kids in there. Whereas, there were about 10 in the 0-3 room. Whatever, itn's my show. We survived even though I thought I would never get rid of one little girl there for awhile. I was a little peeved that they asked for Wildman's juice cup, and when we went to check on him he was sucking away at some other kids cup and no one thought to take it away. Swap them germs boys!
• Went to see my Pa-paw. I feel bad since I haven't seen him since Nanny passed away in April. Life just gets busy and truth be told I was avoiding my aunt. And I don't really know what to say to him other than I love you and do you need anything. We never had that sit down and talk relationship. That's what me and Nanny always did. Pa-paw always had the $20 bill and candy. But it was good to see him. His face lit up when he saw the kids and he pumped Drama Queen full of salt water taffies and apple fritters before we left. I haven't seen him that happy in a long time. While I know that he must miss Nanny terribly, I'm sure it is a relief to not have to take care of her every need anymore. I must go see him more often and come bearing candies. :)
• Watched Big Brother! James is so going home this week. At least I hope so.

That's about it. If you made it all the way through that I am proud! Give yourself a salt water taffy on me!
