We saw it 8 years ago, but it was SO much better this time. Cast was amazing. Mark and Roger had awesome performances.

Oh yeah, and the Spiedino di Mare at Carrabbas beforehand was also awesome.

I forgot to tell y’all, that over the weekend (i think Saturday) we were playing outside and Leah was flailing and jumping (per usual) and almost kicked Erin in the head and almost kicked Chase in the head. I told her to cut it out and go play away from the babies. She took that as “yelling at her” so she starts crying and walks slowly to the house. I let her go but then follow after I realize she went into the house. I came to find her sitting on the floor, holding a framed picture of Angelle, sobbing and saying “I miss Mommy….I miss Mommy….”

It was the cutest, saddest, most dramatic thing I’ve ever seen. That’s my Leah.

You’re the best! Around.

Just like this guy:

I don’t recall if I blogged about the BK Whopper Sacrifice, but I thought it was hilarious so i tried it.

You sacrifice 10 of your facebook friends and you get mailed a coupon for a free whopper. Sounds awesome right? Just get rid of some peeps who you thought were cool, but after reading their status updates (or lack thereof) realized they are worth less than 1/10th of a whopper.

So I got my coupon a few days ago, and was happy thinking about my free whopper i was going to enjoy today. BUT apparently the Burger King in uptown charlotte does NOT participate in coupon programs. WHAT?!? I know it says participation may vary, but i thought that was legal nonsense. What kinda crap is that? I was so angry, that I took off my yamaka, and flung it at the lady like a frisbee, slicing her head off (oddjob style).

Well okay, that last part wasnt true (i only wear my yamaka on Shabbat), but I was angry. I told her she just lost my business for life. She of course said something in some language that may or may not have been a local dialect of english (i’m not racist, its the troof), and i stormed off.

I ended up getting a couple snack wraps from McD’s on my way back to my office.

So, be wary of this coupon! Maybe normal restaurants take it, but Charlotte CATS BK sure doesnt! BOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, its only half over, but so far its going well. If you read my blog, I’m sure you read Angelle’s and know she’s in Savannah this weekend with Mandi/Stacy for a girls trip. I talked to her last night and sounds like they’re having a blast! Food, Pedicures and Ghost Tours oh my!

The kids have been really good, so it has been great. Well, except for mornings…

Saturday Morning

Leah walks in at 6:25 whimpering cuz she had a pee-pee accident in her jammies, in her bed. WHEEE! I clean her up, and we get back in our bed and lay for about a half hour till Erin wakes up.

Sunday Morning

Erin starts talking at 5:25. (what is it with the :25’s?). When she does this, typicall we just turn down the monitor some and go back to sleep cuz she often puts herself back to sleep. Well, she didnt. I waited till 7, since she was just talking, and not crying, but finally got her. 7 is my ‘wait till’ time. I still am surprised (and angry) that she didnt go back to sleep. I was hoping she would fall back asleep at like 6, then sleep till 8. wishful thinking.

Besides the mornings…

Other than the mornings, its been good. We’ve played with the Maddexes a bunch, and Laurie cooked us dinner Friday night, and made us lunch Saturday. We’ve also done puzzles, ridden bikes, drew chalk, played chase, rolled around in the grass, played stickers, played at McDonalds playplace, played at Target, played at WalMart, watched Tinkerbell,and eaten pizza. (I bet verb tense changed a few times in there. i dont care. been up for almost 2 hours).

I think I get it now

I always thought it was funny that Angelle blogged so much, but I think i get it. I have been on the computer more this weekend than normal. Even if its just for a few moments, I have gone on facebook or gmail to see if there are other people i can say hi to! You just need some non-kid contact. I guess I don’t really HOW valuable that is for me during the day. So blogging and being online is a sort of break from kid-world, even if just for a few moments.

Also, yesterday, I felt the pull of Target!! It’s like some weird parenting magnetic force! it was overcast and kinda ‘eh’ weather-wise all day, so at about 4, I just wanted to get out, and for some reason, the first place i thought of was to just go mess around at Target. YIKES!!! I think there needs to be some other places in Monroe that are non-shopping related. Even if you go to ‘mess around’ and dont plan on buying anything, its all right there in your face.

So yeah, the 2 thinks that I laugh (or Angelle might say ‘harp’) about with Angelle being a stay at home mom, I think I sorta get now. And it only took 1.5 days! I’m a fast learner, huh?

Denouement

Its been fun hanging out with the girls, but Angelle, we miss you! At least i’ve been able to play some adult games with Bryan, Laurie, Tiff, and Brandon.
