May 31st...
I was sitting relaxing this afternoon (I am trying to make it sound like I hadn't been doing that all day...I guess I washed the dishes so thats one point for me.) The kids were napping, the laundry was put away (two points...) so I thought I was entitled to have a snack and watch Sweet Home Alabama (which I had recorded off OXYGEN! Yep, I still have it! and NO I'm not paying for it!) When all of the sudden a weight watchers commercial came on, out of nowhere. Why they feel the need to ruin movies with commercials...I am not sure, and why I didn't just fast forward, I am equally not sure, BUT nonetheless this weight watchers commercial came on and this girl says "I never thought I would ever be one to need a weight loss program, but I looked at myself one day I realized I had become a serious couch potato...) I stopped, I looked at my surroundings, and I thought to myself "my goodness..." There I was sprawled out on the couch (and let's be honest, the laundry was already folded, so putting it away took 3 minutes, tops. And the dishes were done by 9 am...I had been there the majority of the day, if you add it all together) I had a Mt. Dew on the end table and a bag of tortilla chips sitting next to me. Go figure huh? If the TV wasn't trying to tell me "GET UP" then my name isn't Darci!
So I finished the movie...would you have done any different? Josh Lucas is so cute.
But I promised myself that when the kids woke up we would go for a walk! And that is exactly what we did! I had hoped we would discover a little park that had been magically put in at the end of our street since the last time we walked that way, but no. There was, however, more progress done on the housing development being built and that is always exciting. There are about 6 or 7 houses already built and they are supposed to line the entire street by the time they are done. The street ends in a cul-de-sac so it should look very nice. It also means there is enough room for my entire family to move down here...we could own that street! They would change it to Bruner Street (since we were here first :)) and we would all be one big happy right next to each other family. The house I had originally picked out for my parents is already taken but I am not above threatening those people. I'm sure when they saw the rest of us all move in to neighboring houses on the same day they would get scared anyway and leave willingly. There are a lot of us. And yes Joyce, I mean you and Brad too! We seriously could take the entire street.
Jo seemed to have our house picked already, but I don't love the small backyard. Ironically the house I like the best is the one pictured that is still being worked on and it has NO backyard! Those trees go right up to the back of the house. Very pretty...but very ticky too I'm sure.
We didn't go inside any of them, even though some didn't have doors and they seemed welcoming enough. I would rather wait and teach Cael how to trespass when he is a little older and can run and save himself if the cops come. Averi is still little, they would be easy on her.
Well anyway, that was my day in a nutshell. Now I am going to go sit back down on the couch and watch The Big Bang Theory :)
