Not Me! Monday?

Wild, crazy, and out of control week and weekend we had. Who would have thought. I did not drive 2 hours away to watch Red play basketball and go shopping. I did not go to Walmart and find a bleacher cushion of OSU on clearance or a bleacher chair for hubby. It was not a steal. I also had enough room in the car for her to ride home with us because, we didn't have too many present in the car. We didn't make room for her. She didn't play the whole game, and she didn't play like a 6 foot star. Nope, not my child.
The boys didn't get sick, and they didn't have their last basketball game. I didn't let them go, and I didn't tell their coach take it easy on them. The boys also didn't each make a basket. We didn't have a pizza party afterwards with a bunch of "well mannered boys" Nope, not us.
Saturday, wasn't filled with ball, birthday or Christmas parties. We didn't skip my brother's birthday party at a local bar and grill. We didn't lounge on the sofa watching tv when the kids went to bed. We didn't wake up to snow, wind or ice on Sunday morning. We didn't have to make a 2 hour drive into 4 for my granddad's service. We didn't pretend to be all nicey nicey to relatives we don't like. Nope, not me, the perfect child, daughter, grandchild. Nope, not me. Boy do I have them all fooled.

On a side note, we did have my granddad's service on Sunday. It was very nice and laid back. He would have liked it very much. We did have to drive thru some awful weather. Oregon, usually only rains but we did get snow and pretty much they shut down the city. It was a fun time in the truck, chit chatting with hubby and boys. The girls rode with other family. We saw a semi wreck over the center barrier and lots of wrecked cars along side the road. It is very scary how mother nature works. We hope the truck drive is ok and everyone else who was in a wreck. This is the last week of school before break. There was no school today but more snow is on the way. I really hope we can make it out this week before, Christmas break.
