Adventures of Two Sisters, One Brother, and a Mom: Our Day at The Park....

Friday was the day from Hell at work... It was definitely not the start to a good weekend. It seemed like everything was going wrong... work, my relationship, etc. The good news is that work finally ended. Friday night was pretty low key... I made the kids a real dinner, and we all watched a movie---Mary Poppins. Nana gave it to them for Valentine's Day, and we just now got a chance to watch it. I haven't seen that movie in years and years... I forgot how much I liked it.

Saturday was a very very busy day. We went to Best Buy to finally get a microwave to replace my broken one--- I lucked out, it was on sale. Also, I finally broke down and bought a new printer. My Office Jet has been broken for a couple of months now, so I have been without a printer and fax!! Not good when you are trying to run a business.

After running a few errands, I took the children to Piedmont Park. It was a beautiful day, although pretty nippy. The kids had never been to that park (aside from going to festivals), they loved it. I had intended to bring their bikes, but didn't because I knew I would be getting the microwave.... I will definitely have to do it next time though. We stayed at the park all morning and into the afternoon. We ate lunch at Willy's and hung out there some more.

After the park, I had a couple of house calls to do. The poor kids had to tag along, of course, but they behaved well. Mommy has to make money after all...

Later in the evening, we went to Morgan's Basketball game. That was definitely a mistake. The kids were tired and I was miserable. I shouldn't have gone, but I had already promised the kids so we went. It as a mistake, a big one. The children acted up and I lost it. We left early and I punished them more than they deserved. I took out my pain on them. I can never do that again. I won't do it again.

This weekend, we have had "Mookie," the class monkey with us... The assignment is to take him to fun places and document it in a journal. The kids have been having a lot of fun with him. D even made a bed for him, and has been tucking him in at night! Cute.
