What a weekend!

Our weekend sorta started Wednesday at 4:30pm when Rick became officially unemployed (at least until 8am this morning). I struggled with not giving him a "honey do" list, but he ended up with a list anyway since he really wanted to have his cousin over while she was still in town (after the funeral). He had certain things he wanted done before she came and that would be either of the three evenings or Sunday lunch. We were "on stand by" most of the weekend.

It turned out to be a simple Sunday evening gathering - chili for supper and a half game of "hand and foot" (card game). We had a sort of "epiphany" once we said our good-byes. "We should do this more often, it's fun and the house looks GREAT!"

Odd thing was, both the kids were good most of the weekend. Sean was preoccupied with a computer game he "vowed" he would complete and disruptions to that task created animosity, but the job got done (sort of). Cait on the otherhand was a phenominal help - at every turn coming as I called her and doing whatever task I lay before her. I have my child back (for now).

Robyn, if you read this, she is VERY excited about having a session with you next summer. We even talked about one aunt doing her hair (she cuts our hair on occasions), another for make-up (she sells Mary Kay) and another for wardrobe (she has bought Cait clothes since day 1). Odd to me that this child, who HATES her picture taken is actually looking forward to this with anticipation!!!!!

I am learning to "go with the flow" these days and savor the good times!
