Weekend Fun

I meant to tell y'all about my weekend, but WoW this whole getting up and goin' to the office thing really threw me.

It was SO great to see Carmen her DH and Patrick. She is doin' GREAT. Just tired, like most working full time mommies are. She looks wonderful, and it was fantastic just getting to catch up with her.

Patrick is having out patient surgery Friday, so if y'all could keep the little angel in your thoughts and prayers we sure would appreciate it.

Well, Carmen and her family showed up Saturday. That night was the first time we had the whole crew together - and it was a BLAST!!! I forgot how crazy it can get with everyone here at the same time.

Sunday Cuz's dad, stepmom and siblings came over. That was great, but her stepbrother and sister don't really get she and I's relationship. They are more Carmen's age, and missed how close she and I were growing up. And as I've mentioned before, I'm REALLY different than most of the family.

So, as the afternoon was winding down we were all sitting in the living room. One girl asks what I'm doing now, so I explained. Next thing you know, I'm offering advice on beds, how to shop for them....the whole nine yards. Seriously, I bore mySELF, for cryin' out loud.

Then they want to know if I've ever had a job where I don't travel. Well, this one. I'm only away from home every couple of months. I just drive like crazy.

No....have you ever had a job where you go to the same place every single day?

Hmmmm.....well, I was a secretary. But 2 months in they had me start visiting vendors to get a better understanding of their systems, so that doesn't count.

I was a coordinator. But about a month in they had me start traveling to train sales reps.

So...no. No. I guess I've never had a job that I've had to be at every single day.

Huh.

That's kinda weird, don't cha think?!?

And to be honest, I don't think I could do it now. It's too late. I'm now of the mindset that if I can't fix it in one phone call, I'll just be there. Yeah, I'm thinkin' I wouldn't be so good "trapped".

Anyway....got a little off topic there - sorry. It was a nice day. Food? Oh did we have some good chow. Winter Stew that was perfect with sandwiches and salad. Sweet tea to wash it all down.

Damn....we sure do know how to eat in my family.

But yeah - it was a good weekend. I enjoyed spendin' time with everyone. And let me tell you - that Patrick is a little charmer. Seriously. He had me a "da ma ooh la".
