Thank the Gods this weekend is over

Category: Puttering Around The House | Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2006 3:54 am

This little house was not made to hold 6 people. I know my Grandmother had 6 kids plus her and my Granddad in a house with only one bathroom but it was a larger house than this one is.

My oldest daughter and her husband had their yearly marriage enrichment weekend to attend, that meant we had the grandsons (ages 10 and 6). It was also the weekend of the Anime Convention in downtown Dallas which meant that my youngest daughter had her best friend spending the weekend to go to that.

A-con started Friday morning, Randy took the girls to that then went to a convention of Ham Radio operators, giving me 2 hours of absolute alone time before the boys arrived.

Saturday morning I was awakened at 6 "bloody" a.m. with the news that the only toilet in the house was stopped up. Randy got that cleared out, took the girls to day 2 of A-con (they are both almost 19 and neither one drives yet) and proceeded to day 2 of HamCon. I on the other hand was home with two boys who love to come to Gramma's where they can play video games as much as they want and have desert after each meal....except breakfast, I do put a limit on that.
After A-con on Saturday Amanda's friend had to go home, so we were down to only five in the house. Sunday morning Amanda "plopped" down on the Futon couch/bed where the boys were sleeping and broke it. Randy got over the PO'ed mood and decide he could probably repair it. We took Amanda back to A-con then we took the boys to the Dallas Farmer's Market.
The boys went home around 1p.m., we got the Futon repaired and brought Amanda home.

We were able to put an end to the weekend's festivities around 8 p.m.
Goodness this wine tastes good and it is definitely bedtime.
