We ALL went to bed early last night and my alarm went off at 5:50 this morning and I only pushed the snooze button once!
By 6:20 I could hear the kids getting up and dressed and they were downstairs by 6:30.
I cooked up a hot breakfast of hash browns, bacon and eggs....
and I added some toast for me. Amber buys this amazing Artesano bread that makes the best toast and garlic bread!
We lingered a minute or two - or three to be precise - TOO long over breakfast!
This made our arrival time for school at 7:33 instead of our goal of 7:30!
Not bad! Not bad, at all!
As the kids are scrambling out of the car, I call out, "Make good choices!" like I saw in a movie once. What WAS that movie? I think Jamie Lee Curtis said that in Freaky Friday.
Monday is Amber's weekly trip to Target for her groceries.
I wondered if I would be doing this solo with her list - and Amber ALWAYS has a list!
But NO! She was game to get out of the house and we all know how much Amber loves her trips to Target!
Here she comes!!!!
Amber and I may have had a tea party on the cracker aisle 4!
We got Starbucks drinks and the vanilla scones when we came in!
Hard to shop, nibble and drink at the same time so we parked our carts and enjoyed ourselves!
It was a fun afternoon!
This is part of my Target buys!
Plus I saved myself a ton of money by buying my makeup and fragrance in the Ulta section there.
Last May I shopped Sephora and it all cost a pretty penny more there- but it did last me nearly a year.
We had the cart Amber was riding in plus my cart completely full with her groceries and my things . I went to get the car and when I got back, a kind employee had offered to load the groceries for us! We drove straight home and unloaded the bags on the driveway and Mike was taking them in for us while I went to do the school pick up!
This time I stayed in the car and took my turn loading the kids up at the curb.
The kids had gymnastics tonight so I put dinner on and while they were gone,
Amber and I watched a movie!
It's what we DO!!
I brought the things with me to make dinner tonight.
I knew they liked the Angel Chicken I made when they were at the ranch for spring break so I made that again along with roasted veggies and garlic knots...
and we had apple pie and ice cream for dessert!
I'll do the morning school run and then go back down to the ranch.
We have a bee meeting tomorrow night!
I've had such a good time and it's been wonderful to spend this time with Amber and Mike and the kids. Trystan asked me the other day when I was going to leave - that she didn't want me to go. I told her that the key to a good visit is to leave before you really WANT to go and before THEY want me to go!
Amber is right on schedule with her recovery and is doing well.
We have all enjoyed being together but it's time for me to go home.
Besides, Louis Dean is missing me!
And I am missing him!!
