Our weekend started with Family Night at daycare Friday evening. We went and enjoyed Jaylee's class perform their little songs. The worm workout was so cute! They then ended with their Mother's Day craft, and Jaylee had written a story for me. Things that she liked to do with me like what book we read, what thing we did, what she loved the most about me. Talk about a wake up call. I, as an OCD person tend to go overboard with worrying about the house, the laundry, etc and not enjoying my time with my kids. When she wrote how much she loved to bake cookies with me and read the silver purse book, it made me cry. How detailed her descriptions were. How much her little mind knows and remembers. It really makes you realize that your time with your children is very precious and it is remembered with them was to what you do.
While our original plans for the weekend were to spend the weekend, at home, just relaxing. That all changed Saturday afternoon. My mother and niece left to go back home and as we were laying down for naps- gunshots began to fire! After the first one, I thought "surely not?" , then after the next two fired, and the Mexican music began to play, I couldn't take it any longer. My husband told me to pack the bags and we would go to Amarillo. He didn't have to tell me twice.
We were out the door, within 30 minutes, and off we went. We ate China Star Saturday evening (my choice- yes, I love Chinese food, and my kids eat free there- and they love it- double bonus!)Then Sunday we went to Johnny Carino's. I've only eaten there twice- but their bread, dipped in that flavor infused olive oil, and their vinaigrette dressing on their salad- was wonderful!! I also got to spend some time shopping, just by myself Sunday morning. Then after lunch, Jaylee and I razooed through the mall, shopping together. It was so much fun! She picked out clothes and jewelry, and of course I did the same! It was fun! :)
Then of course, can't leave town without Sam's and Wal-Mart. Ugh, I could go on and on about how much toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags and diaper cost, but I'm sure you all know! My husband normally doesn't go to Sam's with me, and so he was quite surprised at the almost $300 bill that we threw down there! However, I only go about 8 times a year there and I stock up on things that really save you money, and that you always need on hand! Nothing makes me madder than running out of paper towels, toilet paper, or trash bags!
So, all in all, a weekend spent with my biggest blessings, made this momma happy!
