Busy Weekend:

Friday:
I stayed home as I wasn't feeling well.  By later afternoon, I felt well enough to run into Rolla.  I went to J.C. Penney's and boy did I hit the jackpot!!  They had little boy shirts for only 2.97, jeans and shorts marked down real cheap.  I bought LOTS of shirts for Desmon along with a couple pairs of jeans and I think three pairs of shorts.  Stopped at PayLess and got both Cash and Desmon a pair of shoes real cheap.  Went home and put groceries away then headed to Chad's.  I thought Desmon would be real excited but he was in one of his moods of being extra quiet and sad.  (His Mom had promised to come see him during the week and hadn't shown up by Friday).  We tried to tease him out of his mood but that didn't help.  I finally talked him into going up to Aunt Judy's with me as her grandson, Gunner, was down to visit.  That got him in a good mood.  He then got to go out to eat with Tony and the rest of the kids and wound up spending the night with Gunner.  Poor little guy, he has so many emotions running through his head.  (along with disappointments)
Saturday:
I started Spring cleaning my living room.  Man, it's harder than it used to be!! lol  Shampooed the furniture and carpet.  Looked pretty good when I got done but I no where near got everything cleaned and put away.  My kitchen is now overloaded with stuff that either needs to be thrown away or cleaned and put back in the living room.
My great niece, Ashlyne was going to be a Princess candidate at the Prom and we were going to go over and watch the kids go in.  We met April and Cash at Devlin's Cafe for supper and then on to school.  I was surprised by the amount of parents already there.  We had a good time visiting and watching all the girls coming in with such stunning dresses.  My favorite was of a vivid yellow dress; can't really describe the hue but it was beautiful.

We went home and then Judy and I were going back over at ten to watching the crowning.
Judy, Zach and Gunner came over a little before ten.  Gunner decided he was going to stay and have some "guy hanging out time" with Uncle Dwayne.  lol
We went in at ten but to our embarrassment, we got run out.  Parents weren't supposed to get there until ten-thirty.  Even at age 57, it's embarrassing when the principal gets on to you...
Prince Candidate:  Seth John
Princess Candidate:  Ashlyne Rowe

Ashlyne didn't win but she had a great time and did a great job of decorating for the Prom.  She was in charge of decorations.
When we got home, Gunner was something else.  He's such a funny little kid.  Enjoyed getting to see him.
Sunday:
I was getting ready to go to church and Chad called just to visit.  We talked for forty-five minutes.  Probably more than if he would have came over for a visit.  Life is going so much better for Chad right now and that makes me happy.  If anything bad is going to happen, it always seems to be to Chad.  Love that boy!
I went to church and then to the Dollar General to buy a picture frame.  You can't find oak ones anymore, had to settle for a different style.  Darn!!
Went home and tried to print off the reports for the Davis Cemetery meeting at two.  I just bought brand new ink and it wouldn't work.  Piddled around the house for awhile and didn't notice the time and had to rush around.  Meeting went good, there is usually a couple people that bring up stuff that doesn't need to be, but overall it was a good meeting.
Then off  to Mom's to pick up her gift to take to my cousin's baby shower.  Luckily, Becky just lives across the road so I didn't have far to go.  I love baby and bridal showers.  I always have such a good time and this was no exception.  Got to visit with a lot of relatives and of course, the good food.
Went home and took a nap.  Not sure if that was a good idea or not as I woke up feeling awful.  I can see why babies sometimes wake up in a bad mood.
Dwayne and I watched TV and called it a night.
 
I am grateful to have so many family member and being able to enjoy their company.
