Ah, vacation

Can I just say that last week went by waaaay too quickly?

I was on vacation from the 29th until yesterday. The Boy and I took The Munchkin, her mom, and her 2 half siblings to Disneyland and California Adventure from the 29th-31st. We came home on the 1st after stopping at the Ontario-Mills outlets and doing some shopping. Disneyland was fun, but I was certainly glad to be back home on Thursday. We spent the rest of the week lounging around and doing absolutely nothing.

Easter morning, The Boy and I woke up sick. He had a cold and I had a headache, so we just laid on the couch and watched movies and TV all day.

I picked up some neat things at the Disney outlet store and the Disney store in Ontario. Mostly, I found cute things for Chloe, but I managed to dig up a cute tote bag for Mel and a few things for myself. I also got at least one good picture of The Boy and myself.

He did not propose...which I already knew. Of course, that means that a couple of people owe me some money. :)

I had planned on working on his back yard this weekend because I really want to plant a vegetable garden, but that didn't happen either. If I don't get stuff planted this year, I'll get my fence in and start a mulch pile there this summer.

This weekend is the Scottish Games and The Battle of the Badges. I'm excited because I heard that Whiskey Galore is going to be back at the Games this year and I've never been to Battle of the Badges before. The Boy is getting tickets from someone at his work, so we're going to go after we spend the day at the Games.

I'm looking forward to going to San Diego with my mom and the girls in June, too. Hopefully, The Boy and The Munchkin will also be going, so we can have a relatively relaxed vacation. Chloe and The Munchkin have never been to Sea World, and Mel hasn't been since she was 2 or 3 years old, so I'm looking forward to being there for their first experience. Plus, there's the added benefits of being able to threaten them with a dunk in the shark tank (or Shamu's tank) if they misbehave. :-p

Back to work hasn't been as horrific as I expected, but I'm still playing catch up. Plus, they stuck me with a newbie to job shadow me all day. I feel bad because I'm working at full speed in an attempt to get back on top of things and she hasn't had any training, so I have to explain every detail to her and hope she can follow me.

I have high hopes that I'll be caught back up by the end of this week. We'll see how that works out.

Anywho, I'm definitely planning on getting my house clean this week after The Boy goes back to work. On Wednesday or Thursday, I'm absolutely having a margarita night with the girls. We ALL need it. I'm also going to attempt to get The Boy to go to Home Depot with me this weekend and pick up a new faucet for his kitchen sink so I can finish cleaning his house. I just need to get the bathtub and kitchen cleaned and some dusting done. I need to borrow a painting mask from my dad before I do the dusting, though, because I am not planning on making myself sick from a massive allergy attack like I did the last time I cleaned his house.

I might actually get some more stuff done around there when he goes to Vegas again next month. He'll only be gone for 2 days, though, so we'll see.
