What A Week-End!

Wow- I am still tired from all the activities this week-end. It was fun, but exhausting. Friday night we took the girls to my parents to spend the night. Then we went out with some friends we had not seen in a while and we ended up talking for about 3 hours at the restaurant. Then we went and loaded up all the remaining yard sale stuff and took it to the Diva's house. Stuff ended up flying out of the back of our truck and I made Brian get out and get it- on a very busy road in the pitch dark. I was afraid it would cause damage on someone's car if they hit it. (It was a large item....) That was funny watching him do that. Anyway- we ended up staying at the Diva's until about 11:45 and we went home and went to bed at about 1 a.m.. We got up at 6 a.m. Sat. morning, and went to the yard sale. It was dark and foggy and misting. Eventually it lightened up and we got some traffic through there, but not much. It was disappointing, but I had fun. I made $150.00, so that should take care of some goodies in Charleston this week-end. After that, I packed up the stuff I wanted to keep for the kids consignment sale that I do twice a year and Brian and C went to Goodwill with the rest. We got home, took showers and packed up everything for my parents house- where we spent the rest of the week-end. Of course, being rushed and sleep-deprived, I forgot about half of the stuff, but- too bad. We watched the first half of the Clemson game at my parents and then took the girls to my friend J's for a Halloween party, which was great. They carved pumpkins and we ate and they played some games. I was able to go inside every now and then to see what the Clemson score was- and it was always good! Then we went back to my parents and put the girls to bed and watched the Carolina game with my Gamecock fan parents. Hah! That was the highlight of my night. Great game that was. We went to bed and I called the bed with Annelise because Emmaline usually kicks and flops around all night and throws her leg over you. However, she was actually very good in the bed with Brian, and Annelise was like sleeping with a donkey helicopter. I got about 3 or 4 hours of sleep. Sunday morning, we got up and went to church and went out to lunch. We put the girls down for naps and Brian and I went riding around and then we went back to church for the Trunk or Treat, which was great. Finally we arrived home and collapsed in bed and started a new week today. Needless to say, I have not unpacked any of the yard sale stuff I brought home, nor have I unpacked any of the stuff I took to my parents house. I did an emergency load of laundry last night and today I had to go on a field trip with Emmaline and then work this afternoon. I have not been to the grocery store in almost 2 weeks and my house is a disaster! But I am going to have to get to it , because I am leaving for Charleston on Friday and it has to be done before then! I took this Thursday afternoon off to allow myself some extra time to get things ready. I am really going to need to get away after all of this...... But, it was a good week-end and we did have a lot of fun.
