I’m VERY glad that this is the last full week of classes. I’m getting tired!
So the weekend was pretty much as busy and consistent as last week was
(and this week is shaping up to be). Friday night, we crashed on
the couch. I was pretty beat, so I was glad for the rest.
Saturday was busy with grading, cookie baking (for a bridal shower),
laundry, and keeping Eric occupied. On some weekends, he almost
ignores me, but he was unusually in need of my attention this
weekend. Unfortunately, that means that every time I got about
halfway through a paper, he’d want to chat. So I still have 3
papers to read for this afternoon’s conferences. Oh well…I’ll
just be grateful that he still likes to talk and be with me!
Sunday was church. I put gas in my car while Eric played the
second service. We grilled out hamburgers when we got home, and
then I read a couple more papers and got organized. I left about
1:30 to come to Cedarville for the bridal shower that I’d made cookies
for on Saturday. That went until a little after 5:00. Then
we left for small group as soon as I got home. We didn’t get home
from small group until almost 9:00. It was a busy day!
However, the best part of the entire weekend was coming home after the
shower. While I was gone, Eric cleaned the kitchen. And I
mean CLEANED it: counters, dishes, windows, floors, everything.
It was spotless. I just have not done well getting things like
that done (and it wasn’t going to get done until at least Tuesday), so
it was such a huge relief to see it done like that. And it was
even nicer when I came downstairs this morning and saw the spotlessness
again. I love my husband!
What is wrong with me? If my husband would do that (BIG if), then I would feel guilty for not having kept it adequately clean. I’m working on that. I need to just be grateful when that kind of help occurs. Ugh…psychoanalysis is heavy.
Nice to come home to that kind of surprise! Great guy, you have!!
I like both ketchup and mustard and a lot of times, prefer a combination of both. Especially with french fries. I’m guessing ketchup is easier to get out of clothes than mustard, though, so I’ll stick with that for Kayla!
I’m just not a big movie person, okay??
They gave her the steroids almost right away when she got to the hospital, I think.
I don’t understand the problem with ketchup, either. Kyle will tell you there’s a ton of sugar in it. He always says there’s more sugar in one tablespoon of ketchup than in a tablespoon of ice cream. It might be true, but hey – she likes it! It makes lots of stuff taste better!
I read a smutty romance novel. It turned out to be a suspense thing, too, and none of that part of the plot was mentioned on the back cover, so I was a little perturbed with that. But I finished it anyway.
Apparently, it takes 48 hours for the steroids to get to and work in the babies? That’s what I understood, anyway. Could have my details off, but I know it was a good thing that she didn’t deliver before 48 hours.
^ Kim, you reading a book MAKES men needy. Those are the times Kyle suddenly HAS to talk to me. I asked Kyle this weekend if I needed to wait to read my book until he actually left to go roller blading, or if he’d let me go ahead and start right then. He left. ^
Very nice about the clean kitchen! Great feeling!
Sometimes men are just needy like that. I hate when it happens while I’m reading a book. Sometimes I just hold the book up higher and higher until I can’t see him anymore, and he still doesn’t get the hint. Oh well.
It is nice when they do completely unexpected and nice things like that, huh?
