1400 hrs – Pick offspring up from educational establishments and deliver them to designated launching site.

1430 hrs – Chat with several friends who, upon hearing I was not only void of children but husband as well, turn a visible green. Enjoy the smug feeling more than is acceptable.

1530 hrs – Stop at the grocery store for mostly healthy consumables.

1600 hrs – Put away the less than healthy consumables purchased at grocery store. Determine it’s too early for a glass of wine so opt for a diet soda and salt and vinegar chips.

I realize it was 5:00 somewhere, but being all alone and drinking in the afternoon seemed so wrong.

1615 hrs – Catch up on emails, blogs and message boards.

1815 hrs – Contact spouse. Glad he made it to his brother’s house and enjoys the twins. Talk with the twins. They don’t talk back.. Give appropriate affection responses to spouse.

1830 hrs – Change into jammies. Pour a glass of wine to go along with dinner of feta stuffed olives, flour tortillas and spinach dip.

1845 hrs – Enjoy dinner. Finish up on computer.

1930 hrs – Watch Becoming Jane. Already congested so determine not to cry and end up more stuffed up.

2200 hrs – Mull over movie while aimlessly scrolling through TV channels. Take ice cream out of freezer to soften a little.

2300 hrs – Chat on-line with Sing4Joy and His Girl. Laugh hysterically.

2345 hrs – Remember ice cream on counter. Say goodbye to the girls.

2400 hrs – Drink milk shake. Play on computer.

0100 hrs – Head upstairs for bed.

0130 hrs – Turn off light.

2000 hrs – Eat dinner, watch something mindless on TV and play on the computer.

2100 hrs – Continue to watch mindless TV. Paint toenails. Consider sniffing polish remover again, but decide breathing isn’t worth the burning sensation.

    Sometimes I feel like such a slacker for Sundays like these, so it’s nice to know that the Jenster family veges in front of the tube together, too. I’m glad you had a wonderful weekend of you to fill your tank. Blessings on the fam this week, and I hope your nipples are doing well. xxxooogretchen

    Gretchen – the kids got about 7 hours of sleep for the entire weekend so they fell asleep on the couch/love seat. So I decided to take a little snooze myself. :o)The nipples are fine. Thanks for asking.HisGirl – I thoroughly enjoyed the chat!!

Glad you had a restful, mellow time because you deserved it. Sounds like you got some good stuff in too. I would have loved to seen those movies on Elizabeth!!!Have a great week!XOXO

    Wonderful weekend, even with the salt hangover! It does everyone good to have a over-indulging weekend once in a while. Good for you! And good having the bambinos home again. 🙂
