it is sunday night again....

wow where does the time go?  well lemmie see what has been going on in the house of Hall this past weekend...
Friday...i spent the better part of the day running with Martha and Halo,  we went to the bank and to walmart and wandered around and picked up some things then to cracker barrel for lunch.  I took them home and came home to get ready for Bradley to come for the evening.  then Martha texted me begging for me to keep halo so she and mike could go out... told her I do not normally keep kids for dates only for work and school but this ONE time I would keep her.  they were supposed to go from 8 to 11 but it ended up being 9 to 12... which worked ok because it was 11 45 before Stephanie got Bradley... Thank God Michael was home to help out as both kids were wide open.  Bradley is on meds for ear infections and was TOTALLY BOUNCING off the walls... and Halo was starving... or so she seemed to think then had to poo two and a half diapers FULL... have mercy... Halo has a dr appt Monday I am curious to see how much weight she has gained, according to the health dept a pound... but I trust one set of scales best.

Saturday... Michael and I had a day to ourselves... mostly.  My cousin Pauline had surgery on her Achilles tendon Friday and so I decided to cook for her on Saturday so around noon I went and bought stuff for a couple pot roasts.  Then ran by her house and got it all done and together in the crock pot for her and her hubby (who was at work) and her son.  They liked it :)  then last night we went out on a date to one of our favorite restaurants in Augusta ... THE GRAND BUFFET it is one of the best buffet's around ever... it has Japanese, Chinese, and American foods... it is huge I love the crab legs Michael loves the variety... it was delish...  we had decided to take a nap in the evening...i was wide awake until 3 am... ARGGGG

then today had to get up and pick up before bradley got here for the day while his momma and daddy were at work.   I made a pot roast for us for tonight :)  after Stephanie picked up Bradley this evening Schlena called and came over to spend the evenign and have dinner with us.  It was a blast... We had a DVD that my sister in law had converted from a OLD VHS from 1988 of my mother in law and her sisters and some cousins... My Neice Erin had made a copy for us and we had not taken the time to watch it... IT WAS WONDEFUL... Thank you again Erin!  We laughed We cried and we had a ball remembering the people who are no longer here on earth with us.  and now its BEDTIME....

tomorrow Halo has her Dr appointment and Tuesday Martha has her appointment... she is so beyond ready to goback to work and school...I am ready for her to go too... pain in my ... she is :) love you Martha ... dont always like you but, do love you.
Stephanie is out of school tomorrow for MLK day so I wont have Bradley and Tuesday her mom is keeping him so that all works out well with the dr appointments... and Tuesday my baby son will be 23... sheesh where do the years go???

Well I so hope you all have a wonderful next few days and will catch up soon :)
God Bless :)

I cannot wait to see how much she weighs either! It's much more fun than how much I weigh....

She's gotta be gainin' right? Good for her! NOT for me!

I'm glad you and your hubby had a decent weekend--you deserve it so much!

My husband and I also made the rule about no babysitting unless for work, or appts., emergencies--except for a once in awhile needed break. It didn't last too long, we usually ended up with our first grandchild every weekend, whether my daughter was working or not! (Of course--it was only 1 then, and we loved spoiling him, I have to admit!).

We didn't 'use' or expect our parents to take our kids when we could get out (which we could rarely afford); we were so thankful to have them when I was in the hospital to help my husband, or when he was in the hospital so I could be there for him. Otherwise--we stayed at home and kept them or paid a babysitter when we made the money for one.

Everyone has to have their own rules and boundaries!
