Weekend Wrap Up!

Happy Monday!

After a very stressful week, I was happy to enjoy a low key, ZERO STRESS weekend!

I hope your weekend was whatever you needed it to be!

I had to get up at the butt crack of dawn because I had a PT appointment at 7am! Normally I get up at 5:30, but this day I had to get up at 4:30! I am a firm believer that any alarm set in the 5 o'clock hour is okay, but once you get into the 4 o'clock hour, that's just next level insanity! At least I won't have to do this on a regular basis.

Unfortunately I was a little late getting to work due to taking a different route that morning. There was road work on 81 so that just threw a huge wrench into things. Then the whole rest of the day, I felt like I was behind and trying to catch up. 

It didn't help I decided to clean out the cabinets in my classroom. I found old technology in there that will never be used again. Old record players, projectors, programs from concerts that happened over 30 years ago...

Since it had been such a crazy week at school with the musical, open house, and three days of PSSA testing, I decided to let the 3rd and 4th graders watch the DVD of their show. They loved seeing themselves onstage and actually sang right along with the recording. Aren't they sick of those songs yet!? I suppose not. Me? I was excited to delete them off my phone forever!

I had a weird lunch. Chicken, Greek yogurt, and a whole carton of blackberries. They were 99 cents at Aldi! I think blackberries are my favorite berry. Oh, and a lime seltzer water.

I couldn't wait to get home and see the kitties. They had been having a rough couple days because Paul had been gone since Wednesday, and since Wednesday and Thursday were my busiest days, they didn't get much attention or human interaction at all. When I got home, I fed them, gave them lots of loving, and did a round of treats. They love to run for treats!

It was so beautiful outside and I wanted to relax on the back porch, but I felt guilty not spending time with the cats. So I went out in the grass in my bare feet for a couple minutes (I love that feeling!) and then I went back inside.

I poured myself a can of key lime sparkling water with a shot of spiced rum. It's like a mojito without the mint! Then I blogged and watched The View.

I felt very guilty about not cleaning my house because it really needs cleaned. We haven't cleaned it in a month. I know, it's disgusting. But I was just too tired.

Speaking of disgusting, this cake looks messed up but it was SO GOOD!

A friend at work sent a piece home with me. I ate half and saved the rest for Paul.

About and hour before he was supposed to eat, Chrissy put on his one man show entitled,

"I'm so hungggggggggggy!"

I went to bed around 8pm and slept until 8:30am the next morning. The kitties woke me up a couple times during the night, but I was able to fall back asleep.

I was feeling refreshed on Saturday morning! 

It was dreary and rainy, so I didn't really feel like running. I had to go to the gym to do my PT exercises, so I figured I'd lift while I was there. Other than that, I had zero plans for the day!

I ended up being at the gym for two hours! I wasn't bored because I had good podcasts to listen to.

Of course when I don't have plans, I try to think of something to do. I didn't want to be away from the kitties for too long, so I decided that after the gym, I'd go to Community Aid to look for a puzzle, do some shopping for fruits and veggies for the week, and maybe pop by Kohl's and just to putz around... my shopping scores were chronicled on yesterday's Vlog!

Finally, I bought the perfect romper!

And I almost bought these pants... but they were a little more than I like to spend on something that is trendy and I'm not sure what top I would have to go with them...

Paul had been in Denver for the past couple days and was due to arrive in Philly and then take Amtrak to Harrisburg. Unfortunately his Denver flight was delayed, so he missed his connecting flight. I ended up having to drive to Baltimore to pick him up at the airport around 11pm. Ugh! Luckily the drive didn't suck as much as I thought it would. I had two really good podcasts for the way down, and Paul and I talked the whole way home. He's not a big caller or texter while he's gone.

Jelly missed his daddy so much. He finally just crawled in his White Castle box to wait.

It was a joyous reunion when we got home at 1am!

Even though I went to bed super duper late, I got up around 9:30 on Sunday morning. I didn't want to sleep the day away. I had PUZZLES to do!

Paul and I finally watched Survivor from Wednesday (I'm pissed at the result!!) and we watched Samantha Bee's Not the White House Correspondent's Dinner.

Then I did my PT exercises. My knee hurts from the exercises so running didn't sound like fun. Ugh.

Yeah, I workout in my jammies. Don't hate!

Then started another puzzle! It's the one I bought yesterday with two missing pieces. It's hard. I have done all the "easy" parts. Now I just have, oh, 300 pieces of white snow and green trees to do!

Paul made mushrooms and turkey burgers on the grill. We ate dinner and started plowing through the 27 episodes of Seinfeld we have accumulated on our DVR!

Speaking of Seinfeld, I'm starting to get Seinfeld hair...

Do you like walking in grass in bare feet?

Do you ever feel guilty for not cleaning more?

What hour is just next level crazy for you to wake up?

What's your favorite thing to do when you have a whole Saturday to yourself?
