Another full weekend

Today is Tuesday, and I feel like I'm just now back on track after a busy weekend. Friday was the typical "catch-up" night (laundry mostly). We always swear that we're going to watch a movie, but are always too tired. (Ever wonder how Netflix makes money? It's because of people like us. We once had the same movie for over four months.) Saturday we headed to UC's graduation (I had 11 of my online students graduate) & then on to Xenia to celebrate Phillip's birthday and Kevin's birthday. First on the bill was the surprise party for Phillip at Mom & Dad's. We tried to resist the full spread of party food to save room for our "adult dinner" at PF Changs for Kevin's birthday. (Lou was not as successful as I was. He fell prey to a tray of "pigs in a blanket" & barely had room for the yummy Chinese fare.) Dinner was perfect. Good food, great friends, what more could you ask for? To be honest, I asked for one drink too many. (I should've stopped at one, because my tolerance is non-existent.) After dinner and a spirited ride back to Xenia, we picked up a very happy baby Josie (snuggling in her Grandma's arms) and decided to head over to Chrissy & Kevin's for a couple of rounds of Guitar Hero & Rockband. Needless to say, a couple of rounds turned into a couple of hours. Warning: this is where Lou & I turn into bad parents. Long story short, we finally got back to Cincinnati at 2:30am. Yikes! It was a rough night (to say the least) but we learned our lesson. Thank goodness Josie felt like staying in bed until 3pm on Sunday as well, because I was so dehydrated from the alcohol, then pumping & dumping, that I wasn't going anywhere. Now that we've all fully recovered, it was all worth it (but I wouldn't have said that yesterday). Live & learn I suppose. :)
