Monday

Oh where to start-

Saturday it rained a ton more- yuck.  Saturday evening I volunteered at the Trading Hnads sale- I really enjoyed it.  Didn't really meet anyone- but talked to other moms and it was fun.  My legs were and feet were killing me when it was all over though.  It wasn't real hard work, but included lots of "runnin". 

Sunday we skipped out on church.  I feel kinda bad, but I just really didn't feel up to dealing with the kids and I knew there would be a lot of people there since it was homecoming.  So we went to Springfield and picked up my check from the kids sale and then we went flea marketing.  We went to the STD flea market on Trafficway and the Majestic on Commercial and National.  I really liked the STD one- found some really good deals.  Would have like to look around some more, but Cooper threw a fit and made the trip somewhat unpleasant.  He calmed down after I found him a fire truck that lights up and makes noise for $4...he was wanting an old tonka truck that was priced at $45.- like that was gonna happen. 

I did however find some piece for my enamelware collection and a jar for my jar collection for a really good deal.  I found an enamel cereal bowl that I had never seen before for $4 and then Chris found some square enamel pans that were priced really cheap.  He insisted we get them- I think he really like the enamelware stuff too-even though he always gripes that I have too much. lol.

Cooper did really well though- he stayed dry the entire time we were gone.  We ate at Cracker Barrel- I thought they might have something I could eat with my diet- but the only thing on the menu was a tossed salad- which was in reality just a small bowl of lettuce with 2 tomato chunks on it----all for $2.99- what a joke!  Our waitress was horrible.  I left $2 but Chris decided that she didn't even need that.  Cooper didn't eat much of his and we wanted to take it with us- but we never could get anyone to bring us a to-go box.  Our waitress literally brought us our food and dropped off the ticket and never came back to check on us- no drink refills- didn't ask us if we wanted dessert- nothing!  and they weren't that busy for it was 3:30 in the afternoon!

Cooper just got up so I guess I will get off the computer for awhile and try to get some stuff done.  I need to cook some meat up for this week and pick up the house.  School starts back tonight- I really am excited.  I need to stop and get the kids some easter baskets and I guess we are going to try and color eggs this week. Hopefully it will be warm enough we can do it outside!
