You guys are in for the
world’s most boring post today, but since my blog is primarily our family’s
scrapbook, I wasn’t about to let a weekend go undocumented!
We really just didn’t do too
much this weekend at all. We did get out
and about for a bit, but we also laid low for some of the weekend as well because
the flu germs are running rampant around these parts and we’re trying our
darndest to stay well.
Friday I spent the day
cleaning out a bit more, but mostly catching up on paperwork and finishing up
Valentine’s Day decorating. I’m trying
to pace myself on the purging so I don’t get burned out… every now and then I
just have to take a break!
Friday afternoon I picked up
both kids from school and we ended the afternoon with some play time on the
downtown playground. Naturally, I was
completely freaked out of the thought of the sheer volume of germs on a public
playground, but I also know it’s not healthy to keep the kids in a bubble
either. We were in much need of some
outdoor time so we threw caution to the wind and played anyway. And you better believe I didn’t let them get
in the car without wiping them down with antibacterial wipes first!
We headed home after that
and then B brought pizza home when he got off of work. He and I enjoyed some adult bevies with
dinner and then we popped some popcorn and settled in on the couch in our jammies
for a family movie viewing of Big Hero Six.
B built a fire, and my belly was so full of yummy pizza and wine and my
body was so cozy in my PJs by that fire, that I may or may not have dozed off
around 7:30 and missed a good chunk of the movie. Whoops!
#NoRegrets
B and I put the kiddos to
bed after the movie and he and I continued our bingeing of Master of None on
Netflix. If you haven’t watched it, you
should! I’m sure it’s not for everybody
but we love it!
Saturday we had plans to go
to Jacob’s school and help with the campus beautification, but that dang flu
virus has been taking down students left and right these last couple of weeks
so we skipped it. I honestly just didn’t
even want to be in the building.
Lol. I felt terrible for missing
it and we really thought it would be a great opportunity for Jacob and Olivia
to help out and learn to give back, but y’all, GERMS.
We didn’t even leave the
house (or our PJs for that matter) until it was time to go to church at 5:30. I really didn’t want to go to church for fear
of germs either, but since we missed last weekend and will likely miss next
weekend due to a little weekend trip we have planned, I really wanted to go
this weekend.
We are Catholic and we take
communion every week at mass. Typically
bread and wine are offered and everyone drinks from a community cup, but y’all,
this flu is SO BAD that they made an announcement saying that they are not
going to offer the wine anymore until the germs settle. I honestly can’t remember them discontinuing
this EVER before in my whole life. Not
even when the Swine Flu was running rampant back in 2009. This lets me know just how serious this virus
is. It’s plain scary!
After mass we did what all
good Catholics do and we headed to our favorite Mexican restaurant for
margaritas! Haha. The kids were so well-behaved during mass –
maybe the best ever – so we also stopped by Dairy Queen on the way home to grab
some Blizzards to go. Both of my parents are
currently down with what they think might possibly be the flu (fever, aches,
chills, cough, etc.) so they didn’t join us like they usually do.
Sunday we laid low all
morning and then we headed to my MIL and Step-FIL’s house for lunch. B’s sister is down with what is possibly the
flu as well, so she wasn’t there, but my brother-in-law and nephews were and I’m
just praying that they weren’t carrying any of those nasty germs! EEK!
It rained all day so we were
cooped up inside after lunch… womp womp.
We decided to head to Dick’s after lunch to grab some soccer cleats for
Olivia because she is starting next month!
She’s so excited, too!
Our original plans for the
Super Bowl were to have my entire family over to grill hamburgers and such, but
Momma and Daddy still weren’t feeling well Sunday evening, my grandmother is
down with possibly the same thing, and my brother has been sick all week, too,
so yeah, we told everybody just to stay home!
My father-in-law did come over to join us and we made the typical football
spread – burgers, baked beans, chips, and beer – and we all watched the game
together.
I couldn’t care less who won
or lost… my heart was just in it for the halftime show. And wasn't it soooo flipping good?! Makes me even more pumped to go see him in concert this summer!
IT'S GONNA BE MAY!
Happy Monday,
everybody! I hope you’re avoiding those
germs!

That’s a wrap, y’all!
