Well an exciting weekend of course!
Sat pm dd's dance studio danced at this outdoor event - small midway w/rides, games, cotton candy, etc - problem was the weather and the stage. Rained on and off all day so I had my umbrella open and closed throughout the afternoon - and the size of the stage was a joke! While the other dance school there actually hung around awhile and then left - opted out of performing due to the 'situation' our girls of course hung in there.
Ended up dancing on the GRASS (think wet and muddy) in front of the 'so called' stage - yes rolling around on the grass - what fun! They did great of course. Then dd and little ds went on a couple of rides, had some treats then we dropped them off home.
Dh and I went to dinner (japanese) and then movie - Sicko - quite an amazing expose of the US medical system and I can only imagine the govt's embarrassment of what was shown! Quite incredible! Yes I stuffed my face at dinner and CONTINUED at the movies.
Excitement at our house which we found out when dd called - seemed little ds was fooling around with the phone and ended up dialling 911 - and then hung up - they of course called back - he answered and hung up again. When asked by dd who called - no one! Well they called again and when dd answered they identified themselves and said they had dispatched a POLICE UNIT TO OUR HOME! So dd had to reassure them nothing was wrong - they asked her some questions - at this point little ds is bawling and very upset. Operators asks to speak with him and asks he if he knows when to call 911 (in an emergency he sobs) - so they cancel the call. Takes dd an hour to calm him down - supposedly the child is hysterical due to fear of the parent's wrath (guess we are a pretty mean bunch?) Thinks he will be punished and grounded forever.
We show up home at 10:30 pm - and there is a little face peeking down from the stairwell - starts crying again of course and dh takes him to his bedroom, and finally calms him down - guess ds won't be doing that again? And we wait and see if we get a bill/charge for the false alarm - sure hope not!
Sunday - dh continued with his outdoor running program (in the rain no less) - I went for breakfast w/ little ds (more eating of course) - then had to take dd shopping as she finally has a job interview (after I have been ranting and raving at her for weeks now to get up and get out of the house!) - had to buy her 'interview' clothing! (interview is tuesday afternoon).
Dh and I went for a lovely long walk around 9 pm - for 1 hour thru the neighbourhood - even saw 3 froufies as we walked. Then another sleepless night so I am very tired today.
And the surprise was at lunchtime when dh showed up with a dozen red roses - just because - very very sweet!
Hope to catch up with everyone as they post!
