Kisses and hugs

Today seems to be a better day. We grocery shopped together last night and decided to join the boss for dinner. I almost called him Glenn's boss, but, I guess it's "our" boss now. We went to Pasta Too. The best dinner I've had in awhile. So much food. We each brought home our leftover Fettucine Alfredo with Chicken and each portion is enough for two more meals. Glenn was actually telling stories and laughing by the end of dinner. This morning I got a kiss goodbye and then another one before I went shopping.

Shopping. What can I say...pure bliss! Not because I spent money, but, because I had 7 hours of no children and no husband demanding my time. I think everyone needs a little time to themselves once in awhile. Granted my time was used for the benefit of the family. Yet, I loved every minute. I went to the bank to deposit Glenn's paycheck and picked up some girl scout cookies. Love those thin mints. Then a trip to Best Buy for the worst part of the day....I had to give up my laptop for repair. The fan has not been cutting on and the laptop shuts off when it gets hot. Glenn and Cameron found me a USB fan for the computer but it made a lot of noise and was hard to position over the appropriate openings. Glenn was fed up listening to it and demanded that I take the computer into Geek Squad as I have a 3 year service plan that expires in May. I hate taking it in because they end up taking it for two weeks. After parting with my "best friend" I drove out to June's to give her some chicken that we had gotten at Strip District Meats last month. Glenn hates to eat any meat that is served bone-in so we did not use any of the chicken quarters that came with our package. I offered it to June last week but forget to send it home with her. Now that my freezer was cleaned out I was able to move on to Sam's Club with Linda. The trip to Sam's Club has been on my agenda for some time. I spent too much, but less than I expected to, only $126.00. I found some great deals...Mrs. Butterworth's syrup (2 large bottles for $6 and some change, I found smaller bottles at Giant Eagle for $4.99, so I know I got a great deal.) Then a stop off at Giant Eagle for salad dressing and a few small items I can't find anywhere else. It may seem that these are stressful stops and usually they are. Somehow, today I found them to be soothing. It was nice not having anyone demanding my time.

I even got a quick phone call in to my sister in Florida. Tomorrow I plan to get up read the paper and make ham bbq's. I see there is a hockey game at 3 so I'll be parking my big caboose on the sofa in hopes of seeing the Penguins win their sixth consecutive game. :fingers crossed: Sometime during the day I need to get Cameron on his homework. I promised myself last weekend that I would make him do all of his homework on Friday so we could have the entire weekend off. So I broke another promise....he's currently not complaining, we'll see how he feels tomorrow when I call him out to do it. Friday was too stressful of a day with work, etc. to deal with it so I'm forgiving myself this time.

I'm off to give Cameron his nightly shot and put some Kank-A on his canker sore.
