Have A Great Rest of Your Day

John’s oldest brother is here for an extended weekend. We have 4 of the 5 kids at our house tonight. It’s a bit crazy, it’s a bit loud, it’s a bit chaotic, it’s tons of fun!

We’re just having a big ol’ video game bash/sleepover. We don’t have any extra beds, technically, but the kids always want to stay over. We pull some mattresses out of the storage room, get some sleeping bags and blankets and make a go of it.

What always surprises me is that the kids don’t want to stay at anyone else’s house, just ours. I don’t know if I should be flattered or not. I’m taking it as a compliment.

It will be a nice fun weekend. We are doing family stuff all day tomorrow and I will have the kids since John has to work. Then Saturday I’m going to a wedding reception a couple of towns over with my mom and sister. Sunday is my mom’s birthday, so we’ll stop in for a few minutes, but that day is going to be with John’s family. Then Monday I will also spend with his family. Nothing better to do since I’m not working and his brother and the kids aren’t going back until Tuesday.

I’m not going to do a Thursday Thirteen today. In fact I might not do one for a couple of weeks. It’s just too much work and I can’t think of anything.

It’s odd how when I’m at work I can think of a bazillion things to write about, but it’s hard to find the time. Now that I’ve been home all day, I can’t think of anything to write.

It has been a long week. I’m not really the type of person that can stay home all day. I get so bored and no matter how much I do, I just feel like I haven’t accomplished anything. I love being home with Kathryn and would like to do it more. I just don’t know if I could do it every single day.

Yesterday I cleaned, vacuumed, dusted, did laundry, cleaned out the fridge, and ran some more errands. This was all done by about 2 p.m. What do you do after all that? It really doesn’t leave much. Oh I also cleaned off the back patio, and did a full fledged BBQ for dinner.
