Sunday Off

It was so weird to have Sunday completely free. Lee really liked it. Not that it was a relaxing day. I got up, cleaned the house, watered the garden. Then Lee got up and we went to the bank, went to Barnes and Noble, dropped off our on-line rentals at Blockbuster and got our corresponding free rentals - Epic Movie (yucky) and Happily N'Ever After (not too bad).

Went home for a five minute breather, took dinner over to Nan, hung out for two hours with her while clipping coupons and reading the paper. Then we went home and watched Epic Movie. (Did I mention Yucky.)

Went to bed late, got up early. Scratch that. Tried to get up early to pray, kept falling back asleep. Going to be late and getting up early don't combine well. Set out the kids clothes for tonight's birthday party, then hopped off to work.

Had a nice surprise by seeing [a significant portion of] Michelle's family. Michelle brought me some books to borrow (thanks again!! :) ). That great. The rest of the day was fairly blah with the usual work ups and downs that seem really important at the time but won't even bring themselves to mind when I get home.

After work picked up the kids and Nan to go to a birthday party for Nick and Carly - twin cousins of the kids (3rd cousins I think) who are turning five. It was a nice party with a trampoline and good barbecue food. This is funny - Olivia was almost a social butterfly, and Elijah was a mess. He cried three or four times at trivial things, like being told to back up so he wouldn't get hit with a pinata stick. I couldn't blame the poor boy, it was overstimulating for me, too.

Tomorrow is my ten hour shift, so I'll be shot.
