Crazy Weekends

Well, things have been very hectic and crazy in my life the past few weeks. I've just felt so crazed, like I was constantly on the run but could never catch up. I've felt very out of whack and off balance lately in my life. So, I was hoping that this weekend would be nice and quiet and relaxing. And that my boyfriend and I could spend some quiet time at home for a change without having ten million things to do. But things haven't gone according to plan, as has been my life lately.

We ended up hanging out with friends and having friends stay with us for the weekend, including kids. We've gone swimming two days in a row as a big group in our apartment building's indoor pool. This afternoon we went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate one of the kids' birthdays that was just a few days ago. And let me tell you the place was a madhouse! I don't think I would want to set foot in there again on a Saturday! It was nuts! Their salad bar was pretty good though. Last night Mark and I got carry out from Famous Dave's for dinner and did get to eat dinner together just the two of us. Then everyone came over and we've had a crowd with us ever since. Throw in a quick trip to Target in the middle of the day, coming from one activity and going to another, and a late dinner stop at Subway, and we had pretty much a whirlwind day. I was so tired, but now I'm feeling a little hyper, so I decided to check email and blog. Mark is watching some TV or a movie or something with some friends and the kids are all sound asleep. I'm sure tomorrow will be another active day for all of us. And I have a lot of homework to do for French Class for Monday too! UGH! It never ends! But, I will say that it has been a fun weekend. Sometimes it is nice to see friends and play with kids and not have to worry about To Do Lists and dishes all the time.
