Saturday Nothing

I'm tired.  I guess I can admit I stay up too late.  But after all the kids ar finally asleep (9:30-10) what would be left if I didn't unwind for a bit or spend time with my a husband?

It suddenly got hot.  We discussed going to the cottage this weekend but I don't know if it'll happen.  Todd went to work miserable ...almost as miserable as he came home and he told the kids to pick up sticks in the yard while he was gone so he could mow the lawn.   He's very focused on getting it under control since Ellie got bitten by a tick.  I need to do stuff.  Mom stuff.  I gave the older kids fruit and Mickey Mouse and put the dogs out.  I just wanted to lay down for a few minutes as Ellie appears to be sleeping in but instead, I'm on my IPad.  Todd told me to research and buy a new Mac.  Ugh they are expensive!   Idea is to buy one that I can really use to edit my pictures with.  I don't know how high up the ladder I need to go cost wise to accomplish that.

Yesterday morning I went to yuppie Talbots.  I brought Ellie.  I was the only one under 50 in there.  Well, besides Ellie.  She was the life of that party, rearranging their racks and accidentally pulling down a poster.   I feel so dowdy all the time, so I decided to try on a bunch of stuff.  Pants and shorts still are hard as they are built for women with weight in their backside and legs, not gut.  I did find a dress and a pants and linen shirt combo that I hope aren't too old lady.  Expensive.   Very well made   Like real clothes instead of my holey Old Navy collection of black tees.

Thursday night was so nice to have a night out with Tammy.  Was supposed to be to thank her, but I needed it.  Nice to finally try The Cheesecake Factory, nice to be out at night.  Nice to be with someone who just listens, no matter how trivial it really is.

To more is Mother's Day.  I told Todd I just wanted to relax but I'm getting the computer so not sure that'll happen.  Ha.
