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.

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
sounds like a fabulous time. glad we got to join in the fun!!!Hope your time with the kids home is wonderful, and hope to catch you online again soon!
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!!
Did I miss something about the nipples? . . . this seems like something i would have remembered . .though my head is filled with mass quantities of snot . . .anything is possible. are they still there? oh, are you a special feature watcher on dvd’s? i love them and DP doesn’t . . .oh well.
Sounds like the perfect weekend to me. Mellow, fun food, books, computer, friends and mostly all ME time. What I wouldn’t give for a weekend like that!! 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. 🙂
Jen, your weekend sounded wonderful. I know you must feel so refreshed. And the happy ending, to see your kids (cranky or otherwise, they’re still sweet)!Have a great Monday, Katie
