A Muesday or a Tonday...

I don't care how you say it, when you have a Monday off, Tuesday back to work and school just feels weird!

Here's a bulleted list that summarizes my weekend:

> Friday afternoon DSs 2 and 3 purchased and acquired the first supplies for our family's own Freshman Class President campaign while I worked out at the Y.

> By the time I got home, DSs 1, 2, and 3 had two signs made and were on their way to the first football game to put up signs. This left me in a quiet, "somewhat pink" (which on this blog translates to 'you can do girl things now') HOUSE with DS 4!

> With my feminine side in high gear, I immediately set up all my cropping supplies on the kitchen table and set out to work on that daunting Alaska album!

> The boys returned from the game pumped because they won. And they determined their plan to get the first signs up at the high school campus over the holiday weekend.

> Saturday morning is when I had that now famous "moment of weakness" and got DS 4 a new little critter (see my last blog post)! She's an adorable kitten and our "King of the Litterbox" is actually starting to get used to her. He's not growling at her anymore at least.

> Saturday afternoon was spent getting new supplies to be a household with TWO cats and the rest of the campaign supplies. It rained and rained!

> DH came home Saturday night after being gone two weeks. He told me he wasn't going on any more long trips cause while he was gone I bought all new pillows, new lamps for our bedroom, and a new kitten. He noted, "It costs me money to go away!" I tried to explain that we'd have had at least two out of three of those purchases whether he was here or not...I don't think he's buying it.

> Sunday morning was off to church and then immediately to the Rays game with DSs 3 and 4 and DS 4's friend. Baseball's not my favorite sport, but I LOVE to people watch. I enjoyed it, although I would have liked to have been a little closer to the players. I mean you ought to be able to see their numbers on their jerseys in my opinion.

> Monday, of course, was Labor Day. This meant more campaign poster making for DS 3 and his managers. It also meant that they were going to get out there and hang up the remaining signs. We won't elaborate on the school alarm being set off...all's well in our world--REALLY!

> I got to crop some more. There's actually an end in sight. This is probably a good thing since the stuff is still all over the dining room table!

> And now, here I sit feeling like it's a "Muesday" or "Tonday" cause it's still the first day of the work week. I dragged myself here today after a restless night's sleep. It'll be fine, though, because no matter what, tomorrow IS hump day and we'll be on the back end of it all!

Have a great week everyone!

At least this makes for a shorter work week!! That is always a good thing. We are sitting here trying to decide what to do about this coming hurricane..since we have never seen one of been close to one...I am not at all looking forward to this and making decisions..whether to leave or to stay..who knows right now.

ROFL! I think it's FUNNY that you have to go to work to have time to blog!

My hubby knows that I cost him money whether he's here or not here, whether I am here, or not here! I am the best darned money-spender on the PLANET!!! *high 5's my spending buddy!*

I think we will be getting a cat eventually - I just have to figure a way to get the family over there allergies... :/

I'm with your husband. I would have said the exact same thing about it costing money to go on a long trip. ;)

Sounds like a great weekend overall.

I am jealous that you got so much cropping done! And it sounds like your son has quite the campaign going for pres...can't wait to hear how it goes!

I love the "Muesday" or "Tonday" analogy... that certainly says it!
Hope the rest of the week is good!
