Workin for the Weekend

Today B and I went all over tarnation looking for some tile for the front porch at the house we are currently in. The tile there now is easter egg blue, which never matched anything...... it must have been on clearance back when they got it. At least it is a small area. I want to do a khaki and cream diagonal checkerboard on it. I'll have to take before and afters to put up here. It may look weird if you can't imagine what I am talking about. We didn't find any tile that looked good together. It was frustrating, so I just decided to stop looking and we would look again later. I can only take so much in Home Depot and Lowes. The yard is looking great, B is almost done with the planting and then he will have the grass to work on and that is it. A did not get sick one time yesterday- thank goodness. I felt really terrible, though- and having both girls at home with cabin fever did not help. I did manage to do 5 loads of laundry and the phone triage for the office, but that was it. I skipped dinner and went to bed. After we dropped the girls off at my parents, B started to feel bad. I was just laughing at him- another sick trait I got from my mother, we laugh when people get hurt or feel bad, especially if it is our husbands. (Not if someone is seriously injured- I am not heartless....) We were going to go out to eat but instead I went to the store and got B some Sprite and cool ranch doritos -his choice of food when nausea is present (I know- nasty). He is now on the couch looking pale and I am going out to dinner with a friend, as I feel marvelous tonight. I have lots of housework to catch up on from all the time I have spent on the couch and taking care of A, but it can wait until tommorrow. We are supposed to go to a social for the Sunday School class we have been going to tommorrow night, so we will see how he feels, then. I am making the chocolate caramel nut cake and some ham and swiss mini sandwiches. Nothing too difficult. I don't want to set the bar of expectation of me too high for these people the first time.... We went and checked on the lot today and it was exciting to go see it. We cannot wait to start building. Well, I am going to torture B some more before I go to dinner. I offered to make him some fried eggs with runny yolk (he just hates that) or a banana/peanut butter/ and mayo sandwich- but he declined and told me how mean I am. It humors me. Have a great weekend!
