Bad Weekend

So I get up early, because I'm the one that is supposed to get everyone organized and out of the house. We are going to visit the boys Great Grandma - Henri. I love Henri, she is generous and a good cook to boot!

Anyway, Henri is not feeling well and tries to call us to tell us not to come. Well I got everyone on the road early so that didn't work. Henri tries to call my mom-inlaws cell phone, but she didn't think to bring it. So we don't find out until we are almost there - three hours into the trip. And we only find out because we call to see if there is anything we can bring.

So we go anyway, stay for ten minutes, and my mom-inlaw says she will buy lunch. OK, I have a terrible steak sandwich, and end up spilling my drink on the table.

All this before 1 PM on Saturday.

No sleep Sunday night - coughing child.

Rush to church where Dominic decides to put his hand in the baptismal font during the childrens sermon.

Do taxes and find out that we owe the state more than a couple hundred dollars.

Miss out on gaming convention while taking pointless trip to not see relatives.

Find out that GenCon has filed for bankruptcy - and is being accused of not donating proceeds from an auction to a charity. Very sad.

Anyway - two good things.

Went to see Juno - great movie.

Dominic had an OK weekend - he was great in the car, and better than me at the restaurant.

Anyway (part II) - today is Dominic's 4th birthday. He is very excited. Perhaps just for the cupcakes and the trip to Space Aliens tonight, but excited nonetheless.

I hope he like his presents, and I hope we didn't get too much.
