After a hectic week I am so glad the weekend is here

I wrote a discussion the other day which mentioned it being the anniversary of my husbands death and babysitting as well as taking my son to the psychologist so you may already know all that. Earlier in the week I got a message from a guy on facebook I have never met asking if I was his sons aunt and telling me he wants to be in his 5 year old sons life. I could not put my say in but I told him I would pass the message along on to my sister who has him blocked. Not something I want to be involved in! Yesterday my dad was in the hospital having a heart ablation done to stop him from having tachycardia all the time. He is doing great and said it wasn't painful or anything. Due to his strokes they couldn't put him out they could only sedate him. I am just glad the week is over and I can relax this weekend as I have been miserable today. My boyfriend and his son and their puppy will be coming over soon. I am going to make brownies to eat with our ice cream later. I got 4 free tubs of Edy's ice cream from Smiley360 I can't wait to eat! I put a picture up of the cute perler bead designs my daughter saw online and made at home.

The best part was knowing my son is getting somewhere finally with the care he needs? The rest just sucked ha ha. I am grumpy and need to make myself dinner. I made my kids food but haven't felt like making myself anything. I figured I would take a few quick minutes to reply to some of my comments here before my boyfriend comes over.

My kids and am have to go get some shopping done and my son is not happy about that. My daughter earned $3 yesterday babysitting my nephew so I think she will be more excited to go shopping then my son. Once I drop off a package at UPS a warranty on my daughter's broken tablet will refund me $60 so I am excited about that! The thing was a hunk of junk!

@DianneN A Nextbook 7. Some cheap knock off tablet from China worked better then that but she dropped it and broke it so I bought her the Nextbook 7. It was just awful she could do nothing with it as it held so little memory and would freeze and restart constantly. Then she dropped it and it broke the screen so I bought her an RCA one. The attachable keyboard it came with stopped working after day 2 but the tablet itself works great! Hopefully she won't drop this one but if she does it has a warranty. Those Walmart warranties really pay off with our clutziness in this house!

They wanted me to try 5 specific flavors...Mint chocolate chip, slow churned vanilla, neopolitan, rocky road and cookie dough. The only one I liked was the mint chocolate chip. I haven't found the cookie dough flavor yet. My dad is doing great thank you. I am feeling a bit bummed right now after getting home from my boyfriends house.

@Tina30219 My daughter who is 12 stays with my son. Since all he does is stay on the PlayStation or computer she has a pretty easy job babysitting. He hates when I leave he feels like I don't love him so it makes me sad. I don't think I am going to find the cookie dough flavor so I am just going to pick another one. Walmart has some yummy ones like Butterfinger etc.

@shaggin Sorry to hear you are bummed after getting home from your boyfriends. When you have your time with your boyfriend at his house the 2 of you who watches your kids? All of those flavors sound good I hope you find the cookie dough one soon.

I'm hoping the 4 tubs of ice cream were the personal sized kind and not the half gallon or whatever the larger size is currently. I enjoy brownies with ice cream too although I try not to get carried away with having to have something or I'd gain all the weight back I took off three years ago. How old is your boyfriends's son? Is he around the same age as your son or a lot younger?

These are pint size containers of ice cream I believe. It's a good size so I can share it with everyone. I'm naturally skinny the most I ever weigh is 115 in the winter. I lose the extra 10 pounds once summer comes around and I am more active. My boyfriends son will be 11 in May. Our boys are about a year and a half apart.

@shaggin It's great that you don't have to worry about your weight. It's also great that your two boys are close in age. Do they get along okay? I'd think that having someone his age around would help improve your sons's disposition?

Aww thank you so much. My kids are my entire life :-) My son saw me painting rocks today and so he wants to now. Yay! When his sister and cousin were doing it he did not want to. I am glad he might do it now. Any time spent doing something other then playing video games makes me happy.

My daughter spends a lot of time on her tablet but rarely plays video games. My son is the gamer. But it is good when she does other things besides being on her tablet all the time. I like to see her reading and drawing etc. She is pretty darn good at art.

Monday started horrible with my son being miserable as usual on Mondays and that day one of my rooms was leaking as well. That was an awful day and I was pretty grumpy all week but the rest of the week has gone fine. My internet has been going out at night so I can only spend time here in the morning and afternoon so that is driving me batty.

Items made with the perler beads are really cut. Good thing we can block people on Facebook. Some we know left their page a created one under a fake name. Hope all goes well with your dad. Someone we know (young) had an ablation last week. These can be great for those with such issues.

I have had people I blocked do that too but am will only approve those as friends I know in person so they didn't get what they hoped for when they created a fake profile and added me.

I was so full from the dinner my boyfriend surprised me with that I did not get to eat the brownies and ice cream with them. I had to wait until the following night (last night). It was worth the wait it was so yummy. I was in a depressed mood when I came home from my boyfriend's house tonight so I ate some ice cream and feel a little cheered up now!

It was a pretty simple procedure thankfully and everything went good which I am thankful for as well. My kids and I went shopping today and I am just now getting to sit and relax. I did have a few hours the morning to sit and relax before we went though. I wanted to sleep in later today but I couldn't so I am tired. Just made myself a quesedelia for dinner which I haven't made in years. Then I am going to eat a big bowl of the different flavored ice creams later and lay down on the couch to read.

I did have a nice weekend. I wish it lasted longer. My kids are in bed now a days I had some time so I am catching up on my notifications here. I am almost finished with the book I have been reading for a few weeks so I want to finish it up and then take a shower and go to bed. Hoping for a good day tomorrow. Monday's are usually pretty tough with my son so I need all the rest I can get ha ha.
