In 3 weeks I have finished the "Hunger Games" series. It took reading from about 9-11 every night to get it done but I did. It's still not as bad as when I read the entire "Harry Potter" series last year in 3 weeks. At that time though, I only had 1 child and he was at a stage where he was completely independent and wanted to play with his trains alone. Not anymore. I will say the last book left me wanting more. Twiligh did also. Harry Potter ended so well and I do wish there were more but the ending was perfection. I know I will read this series throughout the next couple years. After I finished the first book I found out they were making films! Bonus for me! I think I am going to have to dig out HP #7 soon. I want to read the whole book all over again before June. It will take me about that long due to the fact I have no time in my life anymore!
This weekend was a complete bust. Friday we kicked off BBQ season with good food and great friends. It was nice being able to let the kids run around outside. I have missed this weather! Saturday I had a baby shower in the morning and ended up not getting home from SC till about 3:30. Yikes. We then had to run around town getting outfits for the boys for upcoming events and then we picked up dinner and returned home to basically just crash. Sunday Michael had to go to a friends house early to work on our car. Last week I went to use the brakes and they sort of failed. Michael spent all day fixing them. Literally, all day. He ran into so many problems but now they are fixed and hopefully will work better then ever! As he worked on those, I was home with the boys. It was not a good day. Jake wanted nothing to do with anyone. He stomped aroud all day and was extremely grumpy. I was thankful we had 2 floors yesterday because he stayed upstairs most of the day. Every time I went to check on him, he was sitting in his chair or on his bed with his arms crossed. Whatever kid! He did go outside for a few hours and I did see a smile on his face for a short time. Jax was in his "hold me" mode. If you set him down, he would cry. Poor kid. I don't think he felt well but he finally fell asleep at 8 last night. Michael had to hard core wake him up this morning. Maybe he will sleep a lot today. He needs it!
The weeks keep flying by. We have a wedding this weekend, Jax's baptism, Easter, babies, and all this other stuff coming up. I am wishing for the old weekends when we had nothing to do. Ahhhhhhhh, I can dream right?
