Miss a day- miss a lot

Took Friday off and this is how my day looked.  Woke up to take SD2 to school.  Came home and took nap.  Woke up to pick SD2 up from school.  Came home and took nap.  See the pattern of the day?  I did make dinner – smothered steak – and it was good.  SD2 even liked it.  I am still not sure what she likes/dislikes but so far she likes everything I make.  I do know she loves salads with dinner and that is not a bad thing. 

Friday night we went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movies with some friends.  It was fun and the movie was good.  I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.  It was action and humor not cussing and family friendly. 

Saturday we puttered around the house all morning long.  No one was in a hurry and that was nice.  I did a few errands and took SD2 to get some more school clothes while the sales were on.  Love the Aeropostle store!!  I watched a DVD finally.  I watched “Doubt”.  It was really good.  I gave it 4 stars.  I highly recommend it.  There was no cussing but it is a heavy drama.  I watched it alone. 

Sunday after church it was time to take SD2 to her mom’s house then hubby and I had to go to MIL’s house for a family gathering (eye roll).  SD2 did not want to  go but she knew she had to face it at some point of time  Might as well get it over with. 

Monday morning around 5:30am hubby wakes me up and he is on the phone with PEW (that is never a good thing).  The story goes something like this…SD2 woke up around 5am and her step brother (age 15) is sitting on her bed watching her and tugging on her covers.  She starts yelling at him to get out – atta girl!!!  PEW calls us to get her and we proceed to make the hour long trek.  Everyone is trying to make reasons why he was in her room.  There is none!  She will not be going back there anytime soon. 

Oh and her mom got her a pair of socks for Christmas and that is all.  Seriously.  SD2 hates the holidays and all the stress.  I am right there with her.  When does she get to be a kid?  I called the attorneys office and told them what happened and told them she would NOT be going back there until hubby and I had a long talk with the attorney because nothing will happen to her on my watch.  I was pissed. 

So Monday was my last day of vacation for the year and I was mentally  and physically exhusted.  I made chicken and dressing and again it was good.  I have these 1 dish dinners down!!  yea me.  SD2 is home resting today and probably going to hang with some friends this week. 

I made the chocolate no bake cookies for the first time yesterday and they were good and easy.  Who knew? 

Busy busy week and SD1 is coming on Friday for the weekend.  I am off work on 12/26 so maybe I can rest some that day. 

SD2 will start drivers ed on 12/27.
