Another Busy Weekend

Well hello there fine folks! It's me, the seabeewife4life! And I am closing this fine weekend out with a bit of rain and severe thunderstorms. It's raining buckets out there right now!Thunder, lightning, the whole stormy bit!
I am sorry to have missed a blog entry from Saturday night but I was POOPED in all caps once my evening ended.
Saturday started off like any other. Waking up, getting twins cereal and getting laundry started. Bruiser and Princess up and at 'em a bit after. Cici and Elliebear being their usual Early AM lazy selves.The afternoon highlight? I got to talk to my baby for almost 17 minutes without the phones cutting us off! Eventually we got to a point where we could get dressed and head out to Boo @ the Zoo.
Princess was in a kitty cat suit complete with tail and she had her hair all afroed out and had little kittie ears on. Brusier and Pinky were both ladybugs. Bubba had on his little monster outfit, also with a tail and the feet fit over his shoes to look like little monster paws. Too cute! Elliebear was Alice in Wonderland and even had a blonde wig. I wore my purple wig and cape along with my fairy earrings and pendant (with purple glitter) along with a black dress, black boots and tights.
The Zoo was packed! It was a figurative zoo with all the people packed in there. I knew we were cutting it close, but the traffic getting in was so bad we almost 30 minutes late. We met up with everyone though, got our tickets ($46) and went in...
There was little room to manuver the stroller and keep everyone together. The tickets had 6 coupons each to turn in for handfuls of candy at these little stations and the lines were long to get the candy. All the Seabee families kind of broke off into their own groups so I didn't get to spend time with any of them. Found out later MM left early (she doesn't like crowds.) And I don't blame her.
We got to take a few pictures though. All the animals were put to bed. We only got to see some kind of antlered thing and some ducks and flamingos. All in all I think the kids had fun. And I came home and had a beer. :) I was in bed and asleep by 11 PM.
I woke up Sunday AM at about 4:30 AM with a splitting headache. Too tired to get up and check blood pressure or take a pill even. Just kept praying I'd fall back asleep and I did a little after 5 (last I remember looking at the clock.)
When I finally got up (Bubba crying and ready for breakfast) it was 8:45. More cleaning and Mom called and asked me to run errands with her. Ended up going to Thrift Town and the grocery store and Dollar Tree. I found Princess a pair of black cords and a sweet little turtle neck, Bruiser got a shirt with a guitar on it that says "My Dad Rocks" and I found her a big coat! Way better than the ones I priced at the other retail stores and about 60% less $. I also found another seat for one of the kids to move to the table in. The kind that attaches to you kitchen chair. One of the trays on the highchairs is broken from Bruiser or Bubba usually trying to get out when they are done eating. One too many falls I guess.
Came home and made breakfast for dinner. Bacon, grits, eggs and pancakes with OJ. Watched Desperate Housewives this week. Still never went back and watched last 2 weeks I'd recorded. Missed Dexter cause Cici wanted to watch Drag Me to Hell, that cheesy scary movie. I'll catch it on demand later this week.
Had to call newspaper AGAIN about subscription. They charged me last week but still no paper. Got credit through today and they had today's peper brought out to me so we will see what happens next Sunday.
My brother called me today and told me he bought a puppy for 60$ that already has 1st round of shots. From an individual outside the mall. He said it was a husky and German Sheppard mix. Gonna get big. He was going to bring it by but I was gone with Mom.
Highlight of today was that I brought joy to my hubby. He finally set up a skype accnt but the PC he was using had no webcam. He watched us sitting at PC in my bedroom for 30 minutes. Kids took turns sitting in my lap saying hi and just being random while we emailed back and forth to each other. Oh, how I wish I could've seen his face! He told me he had warm fuzzies and he was smiling ear to ear and that's good enough for me. I love you, Honey!
I just hope and pray by some miracle his laptop will make it to him. He said he thinks he's gonna like Skype. :)
It's about 12:30 so off to bed I go with the rest of the household. Seems like its gonna be a long day tomorrow. But we are one day closer to hubby getting home!
To be continued tomorrow...
