Ive taken that title from Oasis. It is very fitting for this week, as we are all in limbo, waiting to hear things, completely dependent upon other's actions.
Trying to take our minds off of everything, last night we went to ToysRUs (yeah, that was such a distraction!) and then went to visit Matthew's Mom. Then we headed off to RCIA class and then home to some hungry, disdainful kitties and one happy dog. I did my now-routine list of chores and went to sleep. Woke up at 1 a.m. and here I am blogging in the middle of snoring animals and an unusually quiet Matthew.
As far as Mondays go, this one wasn't the absolute worst ever, but it felt "funny" all day.
This weekend I spent driving around with my sister, went thrift store shopping in Dayton and I got a few toys for the kids and a great collection of kid's books. I also snagged a replacement copy of an Oasis album that I lost years ago. We had to wait for them to find it in their "we keep all cds in one giant bin behind the counter so you can't steal them, but it takes 30 minutes to locate them once purchased" kind of way, but well worth it. If only I had more time, I could have filled shelves with the great book deals! Books are always exciting.
While in the great state of TN, I brought back my Mom Saturday night to see the house, spend the night, and generally get some catch-up quality time since she has been so uncharacteristically shut-in since her accident. I would probably be sick If I couldn't drive myself this long!
She liked the kid's bedrooms, settled in and we (graciously, but not without comment) let her commandeer the TV and watch the Alabama game. I would like to think of my house as a no football zone, but we were o-kay ( we went out to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things).
Sunday morning Matthew and I went to Mass and then we headed to Soddy, where Matthew dropped off my Mom and myself for a baby shower (this is me = slightly depressed) and then he went to help diagnose my Sister's mystery smell emanating from her central heating.
We all met back up and Matthew and I took off to pick up a few things and finally back to the house where we relaxed and prepared for this week of waiting.
No Football? What's going to happen if your kids like sports-- especially football? I am glad your Mom got to watch the game-- it was a great one. Bama is 11-0!
