A Weekend That Turned Out Better Than It Started!

Saturday was the pits.

We were all set to go to a car show with the newest family addition and the weather just did not cooperate. I don't know if you are aware of this, but cars that are fifty three years old, do not like rain. And so Hardwood Floors never made it out of the shop and the husband and child came back inside for what turned into a very long day!! Hubby had to work nights, so he went on to bed, my child on the other hand had awakened at 7 AM (ON A SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!) and was mentally prepared to spend a day of fun in the sun, at a car show and festival with kiddie rides and bounce houses and concessions that sell yucky (to me anyway) hot dogs and popcorn! She was, and let me put this gently, NOT a happy child when she realized the rain pouring out of the sky was sentencing her to a day inside, with, GASP - just her mother for entertainment. Mommy wasn't so happy either. I had envisioned a day of real house cleaning. No child or husband around to make more mess, just me, some loud music, a vacuum cleaner and a clean house at the end of the day.

Well, there was some cleaning going on, not as much as I would have liked and sadly at the end of a very long day, the house was still pretty much a wreck, the child was so bored she actually took a nap, hubby went to work and well, it was just a sad, sad day.

The nighttime didn't get much better as a thunderstorm struck about 1 AM and scared my child half to death. We did manage to get up and get to church, but we were sleepy!

On the way home, my husband called and told me he had plans to take Hannah to another car show at a local high school. It was a completely opposite day from Saturday, so he and Hannah and Hardwood Floors took off for an afternoon of car show fun. I grocery shopped and then attempted to do some laundry, but got distracted by the couch and a marathon of Kimora Life in the Fab Lane. It was a wonderfully lonely afternoon!

My crew finally came home, in time for my hubby to leave for work, but they brought home this...Yep! Hardwood Floors won her first trophy! Top Ten in Show. See that face...happy husband, happy life! I sure hope she keeps winning...I may get those floors after all!

Living Happily in the Moment!
