Still catching up

So last weekend was “our” Mothers Day event, early Friday morning I was packing for the weekend to Atlanta when my cell rang. I just knew it was my G but nope it was Amy wishing me a safe trip and all that other mushy stuff. A good five minutes into our call the phone beeped in which was my G this time, I held off flipping over to answer it. Two minutes later the phone was beeping again so I had to let Amy go because it annoys the hell out of me to hear the beeps.
Nothing to speak of on the drive up, G napped, PG napped, Lori napped, and Mom napped – how I wanted to!
When we arrived Julie was in the driveway grabbing the last of her grocery list items so I jumped out to help, Luke was just bouncing out the door to help as well. Julie looked very well to be carrying two tykes; however she also looked like she would go into labor any second.
Two seconds later Kyle and Camen came running out to meet us. Jacks was already there with his big goofy smile, Kyle resumed his place right under him. They were about to do some coloring on the sidewalk and hunt for bugs to put on the girls.
No stress, no drama just us hanging about talking and enjoying the day, we later went down town to eat at a restaurant so no one had to cook or clean. Saturday was breakfast out and some shopping, Jacks packed his bag and was off and running home before we knew it. Kyle didn’t like that much so it was my job to entertain him. Luke and Kyle and I walked the new yard lot and grabbed some soil samples and measurements for the landscaping. Julie gave me ideas of what she wanted and Luke chimed in with a few of his.
We three boys decided that this year for Mom we would get her an updated Jacuzzi to sit in. Sometimes her bones ache and joints are in pain, besides my G was excited to hear that as well because she’s been having trouble with her knees.
Sunday was church services and lunch out, and then we needed to pack up and trek on home once again. It was nice to have family time with no drama or arguments just easy talks and visiting.
The drive home was about the same as the drive up, everyone napped and I was wishing to.
Later on Sunday I get a phone call from PG saying not to worry but G has fallen down the steps in the garage and may have broken her ankle, we later found out she pulled ligaments and needed to stay off it for the next couple of days. That’s good news at least.
Monday rolls in and Jack calls me to ask if it’s bad if his ear bleeds just a tiny bit after poking a Q tip in too far. What a ding bat, I told him yeah to get it checked and he said that’s what Jess said too, he was on his way to have that looked at.
Right now I’m peeking about trying to find the right Jacuzzi for Mom to have and I guess G as well, since she will be plopped in there with her. This is how weekends should be, with family relaxing doing things together and making memories.
