Relaxing Weekend??

What ever made me think that I would have a relaxing weekend? Why was I looking forward to it so much?? LOL! DH arrived back Friday night only to complain as there was no dinner for him. I did try to explain that after leaving work at 5.15pm, dropped a work colleague off at her house, pick up youngest DD from grandparents, drop home to pick up eldest daughter - go back into town to drop her off at the movies, wait with her for her friends to arrive, grabbed Macca's, drove to local grocers to pick up a few things and finally got home. He got eggs on toast - and should be grateful for that!















Saturday is always cleaning and washing day -the line was full. After all the rain we've had I'd put on hold washing a few curtains and things but it's now spring and it needs to be done. I love seeing beautiful white curtains flapping around on the line.


Spent a little time on the computer catching up with things. I've joined Face book but am trying not to get addicted and spend all my time on it. But it's good for quick catch ups with friends.


Started my latest book for the book club "Like Water for Chocolate" by Laura Esquirel, so far I love it but have only read the first couple of chapters.


Last night we caught up with our favourite TV Show - Dr Who. The Master is back!!! Had a bottle of bubbly and the cheese and biscuits to celebrate. Both DH and I have been fans since the 80's, I love the new series.


Today we went up to inlaws with our tent to put it up for the first time (our backyard is still too wet). It took us an hour and half to put up and put down - and we broke a pole which we now have to get replaced. Stopped for a drink and some lovely jam drop biscuits freshly out of the oven that MIL had made and then off into town.


I wanted to get a few things more for our trip but couldn't find what I needed but still came home with stuff. I also had to return some clothes that I purchased during the week for myself - when I got home they didn't fit - the sizes are so crazy these days. In the end DH and I were getting cranky with each other so decided it was time to come home. I ended up falling asleep on the couch.


I guess what I do look forward to is spending some time with my family, getting ready to go away and spend more time with them and not being a clock watcher.


Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I bet you had a feeling of accomplishment though !
Sometimes it's great to be busy because it feels soooooo good when you stop.
