Busy, Busy, Busy and a Fever

It seems like forever since I have posted anything. It's been a busy week already and the weekend was busy too. Let's see last time I wrote it was last week and a lot has happened. Thursday was a usual day...work then home, Survivor and bed...not too much going on that day. Friday was a long day...woke up early to work OT at 5 am ..I hate to get up but I am loving the bigger paychecks and hope it lasts a little bit longer. I have to admit I was getting a bit burned out...which is why I suspect I feel victim to a fever on Sunday but I am moving ahead...so I met Brad after work for lunch...chicken ceasar salad at the Habit and then home to go to the gym but I got sidetracked at home for a bit as my hubby took the day off. I took a nap and then worked out in the home gym in the garage for about 30 minutes, took a shower and got ready for the SRTMS Talent Show back in Camarillo at 5:30. My hubby was nice enough to join me and meet Brad and the whole family down to see Tia perform a dance to You are My Sunshine...it was the same one she did for her recital at the Performing Arts Center aka Prison, last July and she was the greatest...Reminder to get pictures to post.
Anyway the talent show was hilarious as some of the kids were just too funny...some were really good and some not so good...but I have to give them credit...I never had the guts to do that sort of thing when I was in elementary school...or even now...so praise all around for the kids of SRTMS. We had wanted to go to Yolanda's after the show but a long wait...so we headed over to some Italian joint my sister goes to and it was pretty good...we had more Caesar salad and Pizza. A bit much for me but it was really good. Home after dinner and boy I needed to go to bed.
Saturday was another early day to get up to see Thomas and Tia play softball/baseball Tia's game was first. She did awesome as she does in just about everything she does. Can't say the same for another girl on her team, named Nature...not sure why she is out there although she does need to exercise...need I say more. I should talk I know...but I was not overweight when I was that age...she's only 5 and weighs at least twice what Tia weighs. She just did not understand what to do...She hits the ball and then proceeds to stand still or run after the ball she just hit...if she does run it's really slowly...poor girl...then she practically has to be chased or dragged to the next base...totally not motivated. I don't know what else to say.
Thomas's game was next and this year the boys can get struck out...so I knew this would be challenging for our boy Thomas. He likes to play but is not as athletically inclined as his sister. He has improved so much though. The first couple of times up he got struck out and finally his last up he hit the ball and made it to first base. I know we all were relieved that he hit the ball. I would hate for him to get down on himself for not being able to get a hit. His position when not batting was the "pitcher" and he made some good throws to first base. So overall he did a good job and I sure am proud of him. He's just an awesome kid. After the game in the hot sun we headed to Subway for lunch and I headed home but only after a stop to get my man some much need grub to help get through installing the surround sound on Beth's new system. Finally made it home to relax. I didn't realize till later what a number the sun did to my face and chest...I have to remember to bring some lotion and a hat next time. So I am worn out and just glad to be home with my man. We had a nice evening in and started planning our Sunday. I found some recipes in a Cooking Light and Robb is nice enough to cook them up for us. I am a lucky girl. So we made a list to go to the market to get what we need for them. Started watching some Arrested Development as most of our TIVO is either my stuff or his stuff that neither of us like. Pretty good show so far. We have a ton more to watch. Off to bed and looking forward to tomorrow.
So we took it easy in the morning a little to relaxing as the morning got away from us quickly. We di get a lot done...hit the banks, recycling center, market, and then headed to the AMC to see the Astronaut Farmer. Pretty good movie, not so bad since it was free. We got the tickets when I completed an American Cancer Health check online for the both of us...so we have two sets of tickets to see a movie. Not too bad...Next flick is mine. It was HOT in the valley too...I felt like it was the middle of summer...crazy hot. Anyway head back to get one more thing a new holder for our flag. The wind did some major damage to our old one. Thanks babe!!
So that night we had meatlof...we had orginally planned on Brad joining us for dinner, but he's been working long hours too and decided to just go home...great night and meatloaf and even better as Rob and Amber were the last to arrive and were eliminated from the Amazing Race. Not feeling so good a fever go to me and I was burning up...took some medicine before bed, but still had a fever in the morning...went to work anyway...by early afternoon it was normal. Then I picked up Tia to help my mom out. Gave the kids their baths and then headed home to my sweet man who was cooking another great meal for us. This time it was salmon and it was yummy. Thanks again...Great Dinner!!
Today is yet going to be a busy day as well. Work then meet Thomas for practice and then home...homework...dinner...baths, etc. Hopefully they will be pretty good. I just want to get home and rest. It was a busy week and weekend.
