Week In My Life: Saturday/Sunday

Welcome to my weekend!! 

Today is my last day linking up with Mel @ Adventuroo. Hasn’t it been a fantastic project? 

Mel is a rock-star for hosting.

Instead of doing separate Saturday & Sunday posts, I decided to combine them into one, solitary post. Sure, maybe it’s the lazy way out… but we were so busy Sunday, I didn’t need one more thing on my to-do list. And you weren’t going to read yesterday’s post until now anyway, right? 

Saturday started a little late for this chic. If you recall, on Friday, the hubs & I went out to a work meeting, followed by an open-bar dinner. I was hurting a bit Saturday morning. I was grateful the hubs let me sleep in, and the kids were relatively entertained, so I could veg out and watch Roseanne while I sipped my coffee and worked on Friday’s post. I wasn’t super hungover… just… really tired… hurting, and definitely not up for drinking… or making lunch. 

Since Natalie had a birthday party & I had to sing at 5p Mass… we had some things to do, so we decided to go somewhere “easy” for lunch, and near a Target since we hadn’t purchased a birthday gift for Natalie’s friend yet. 

Sedona wasn’t super happy about going to Bob Evans… she wanted to go to Founders. Here’s her “I want to go to Founders face” I don’t blame her… but the last thing Momma needed Saturday morning… was a beer. Sad, but true. 

On the way to lunch, we noticed that gas was really cheap at one station, but way more $$ at the next. So we turned around to get gas for $3.19. WIN. It went up an hour later.

Lunch went surprisingly well… no real fights to break up, both kids ate their meals, and the hubs & I enjoyed a hearty pot-pie to coat the tummies we abused the night before. I started feeling better after a good meal.

After lunch, we hit up Target, the hubs dropped Sedona & I off at home so I could get ready for church, and he could drop off Natalie at her birthday party. 

I was starting to feel better… but, I really didn’t want to sing at church. 

Especially the song I was soloing on. 

This is how I felt about it…

As I walked into church, two high school instrumentalists were playing Rolling in the Deep… so, I of course, sang along. Still not sure how the girls felt about someone twice (!!) their age singing along, but OH WELL. It was fun. 

I snuck a snapshot of my view from where I sing before the church fills up with people. 

I botched the solo… but managed to keep up. The tempo was much faster than I practiced, and my nerves got to me. The usual Sunday choir was there (instead of our pitiful once/month Saturday choir, where we’re lucky to get 6 people singing) and I learned, about 15 minutes before Mass began, that I was sitting next to the former President of Opera Grand Rapids. No pressure or anything.

Once I ran out of church with my tail between my legs, I headed home to watch the rest of the Michigan State Football game… and we won!! WOO-HOO! I can’t believe I haven’t posted a video all week. So, here’s my girls singing the fight song.
