Fortunately, this week will be a three-day work week for me. Unfortunately, one of the days (tomorrow) will be spent at a funeral. I’m not a huge fan of funerals. (Who is, though?) Overall, the weekend was exhausting, though there were a couple good moments thrown in.
- Friday, I took my thirteen-year-old brother, Trenton, and my fifteen-year-old cousin, Dalton, to Taco Bell. (Dalton is visiting–he lives in Florida.) My brother has a love for Taco Bell’s soft shell tacos, so anytime he’s able to con me into taking him, we go.
Husband came along because honestly, I can be at a loss when it comes to teenage boys. It was fun, though, and it made me realize how much I miss my cousins … and how quickly they’re growing up. - Saturday, I took my eighteen-year-old sister, Amanda, and my twelve-year-old cousin, Nancy, to Chattanooga for pedicures. (Not sure why their ages are important…) It was my first pedicure, but it was amazing/relaxing. (So amazing that my mom and I are going back in a couple weeks for pedicures and girly movie time–My Sister’s Keeper.) After that, we went to the mall where we ate at Chik-Fil-A (amazing sweet tea!) and did a little shopping. It was fun, but by the end of the day, I was exhausted. I can’t keep up with teenagers anymore, it seems. Ha!
- Sunday brought bad news. Husband’s great-uncle Eddie passed away from a short battle with cancer. The entire family got together at Husband’s great-grandma’s house (like we do every Sunday). Eddie was her son, and we all wanted to be around to support her. Though I’ve known Husband’s extended family for a couple years, I still felt slightly awkward because I was unsure of how I shoul have reacted about certain situations. Everyone seemed to be doing okay, though, considering.
Needless to say, I’m looking for the three-day weekend.
(If you don’t mind, keep Husband’s family in your thoughts … especially his great-grandma. I couldn’t imagine losing a son, so I can’t begin to comprehend how she must feel. Since she is in her late seventies/early eighties, she’ll need all the strength/support/good thoughts she can get.)
