Weekender

This weekend my little dumplings are at their dad's houses.  I am alone.  I don't mind it at all.  It's nice to have a break.  But, about mid day Saturday, I start to miss them.  The noise, the craziness, the love.  I miss it all. 

That being said, I try to plan things to do when they are not home to keep myself busy.  So Friday night I met up with some guys and dolls and watched game one of the Cardinals vs Dodgers NLDS series.  A cute little place called Town Square Pub.  The service there is awesome, the beer is cold and the food good.  Had a great time, but did not stay till the end of the game as it ended up going into extra innings.

I worked Saturday morning.  That was busy busy busy.  I think the office had been closed the previous 2 Saturdays.  So we were slammed.  Saturday afternoon was spent quietly inside.  I cleaned a little, got a lot of reading in and even enjoyed a little nap.  I rented a terrible movie that I did not stop watching in hopes that something good would  happen.  2 and half hours of my life that I will never get back.  I do not recommend you watch this is the end with Seth Rogan.  I don't know how a movie with so many great actors in it can be so bad.

Sunday was great.  We had a girl's afternoon out.  We went to a new strip of outlet malls in St Louis.  They are called Premier Outlets.  We spent close to 5 hours there.  I got some great deals on a few Christmas presents for the kids and a secret pal at work.  And I even bought something for myself. 

I don't know how to get my pictures from my iphone to my computer, once I do I will bombard this place with pics.  Until then you get my words!!

This week at work is going to be weird.  Jen, the NP that I work for is out all week and I am not really scheduled anywhere.  I am sure they will find something for me to do.  I took Wednesday off to spend with the big kids.  That will break up the week pretty nice.  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  I am off to learn how to run.  This girl is going to complete a 5k before the end of the year.
Gasp I know.  I have NEVER been a runner so this should be interesting.  WAY back in 6th grade I went for a jog once.  Made it to the top of my street.  Then I landed on my face and banged up my knees.  Here's hoping that doesn't happen again.
