Anything But Gray

So I've been gone from the computer for a few days.

We were supposed to go to the Cape. Well on Friday at around noon my sister calls me and says "you know what? I'm gonna take the kids with me, you pack them up, get them ready to go and then we'll take off. Billiejo's going to have so many people there she won't even notice you and Zak didn't come" And I am thinking SWEET!
It was only the second time in the kids' lives that we've been alone overnight without them. It was awesome!!!
Billiejo totally understood and was cool. That made it so I actually enjoyed myself and didn't feel guilty. lol.

We didn't do anything major, went to the mall, browsed a bit, sat at home and enjoy the peace and quiet and talked with Kayla and Josh for a bit. Then Saturday I did some browsing in some stores on my own because Zak went to work. Then we went down to Fitchburg and hung out. Zak and I took off for a ride for a little bit and I took him up to the towers. That was really, really fun. <wink>

Then Sunday we went looking at cars and when we got back here, the kids and my sister were back so we hung with the bratlings for a bit and then we started getting stuff done. We did a bunch of yard work and it's looking good!! I'm psyched. I can't wait to finish it today. We had run to Home Depot to get a matt for the backdoor because the dirt that gets tracked in is terrible! I could sweep 3 times a day and still not keep up with it. We get the matts and then I see this frog statue in the garden center. He was the CUTEST thing ever!!! So Zak got him for me. I love him!
I'll get pics later!

So needless to say, it's been a crazy weekend and just a whirlwind of stuff. But I like being busy and I like getting stuff done, so it all works out just fine for me!
