Lord have mercy. Today was a rough one. I don't know about you but days like these make me want to quit and run away. BUT then, I sit down to write this post because I have documented our weekend and want to share it with you and I realize how I wish I could do this day all over again. Because now, I will never get it back.
I was going through the pictures of our weekend and I am overcome with such gratitude.
And some guilt too.
I know how lucky I am, but sometimes I wish things were different. I am not sure what I wish was different though.
That's why I feel the guilt.
Enough whining. I did that on Facebook already. Thanks to all my girls for the support. I knew I wasn't alone. Holla!
***************
We started our three day weekend early by playing hookie from school. It made up for Thursdays mini-blizzard (exaggeration) that actually made national headlines because of the horrendous road conditions. Our school didn't call off either day! I guess we will be happy about that in the summer.
I found the girls outside happily eating snow. Also, might I just add that today, just 3 days later, the temperature reached over 60 degrees. Crazy!
Sophie girl. Our doggie loves snow.
Friday night: Ballet
Saturday night...dinner at Steak n Shake. Just the girls and I. I think I took this photo 25 times just to get this blurry shot. They asked for a shake and I said YES! Yay me :)
Sunday after church.
Sunday afternoon at 3pm marked the start of our date night. Yes that's right.
Date night baby.
We started at Crate & Barrel.
Sweetheart mugs. Love. I brought one home with me.
Next we headed to the Galleria. We checked out Anthro, Restoration Hardware and then we ate at the Cheesecake Factory. How sweet of my husband to do what I wanted. I love him.
I want to bring him home. But for $69, not likely.
Instead of a piece of cheesecake, I ordered "The flying gorilla." A milkshake made of chocolate and spiked with banana liquer. It was divine.
After dinner we had time to kill before our movie started at 7pm. The mall actually closed at 6pm so we left for a bit and headed to World Market and Trader Joes.
We found some Bacon flavored syrup at World Market. Strange.
I love that when you walk into Trader Joes there are beautiful & affordable fresh flowers. If I lived closer than an hour away from TJ's I would have fresh flowers every week.
After we left TJ's I will admit we almost went home because we were kinda feeling tired. How pathetic! I am so glad we went back to the Galleria and saw the movie. It was the new Mark Walberg one called Contraband. A compromise of sorts for all the shopping I made Bob do. The movie was good, but it stressed me out! I do like Marky Mark though.
Here we are before the movie started. My husband might think I am crazy. Taking pictures all night long. He never said a word though. He just lets me do my thing.
I am a lucky girl.
A lucky girl who still has bad days.
