Recovering from the weekend

This weekend was the best I have had in quite a while. It was my first weekend off work in months and all I really wanted to do was go on a childless outing with Daniel. My wish was granted twice!
Here is how the weekend went, I had to work over on Friday so I got home just in time to pick up Skye from school. We ran home and I took a quick shower and Skye, Evie, and I went and saw Isabelle's school performance of High School Musical. I was really surprised by how elaborate the whole thing was. Afterwards the family (all 18 of us) went to Steak & Shake for dinner.
Saturday morning came quickly and I was ready for my date with Daniel. We were going out for brunch and an early movie. Well instead of things going smoothly, Daniel started ranting about how trashed the house is and started making everyone clean up. Mind you he had been home from work all day Thursday and Friday and could have done this then. I kind of started to think that my plans were not going to happen. I tried not to get upset but well I am an emotional person and I was ready to fight for what I wanted. After much fussing the playroom was cleaned and Daniel and I were on our way to Bluegrass Grill. When we got there the line was out the door and people were waiting on the side walk in the cold. Daniel was not up for this. So off we went to nowhere in particular. We drove up and down the street but neither of us could agree on a place to go. Finally we agreed on a spot and ate then went to the Majestic and saw Cop Out. I scored some free movie tickets from a coupon trading site so the movie was free. That made things even better. After the movie we went home and Daniel got a call from his friend Josh about camping at Skull Island. He asked if it was ok to go and since he had been such a good hubby and went out with me I said go, have fun. He packed up and was gone within a hour and had a great time.
On Sunday morning I was going to run to the new donut shop on Northshore and pick some stuff up for breakfast. Evie had a friend spend the night and I thought this would be a nice treat. Plus it is almost next door to Walgreens so I could go ahead and do my RR shopping while I was out. Mathis decided to come with me and we ran over to Frasier only to find that the donut shop was closed. What a bummer. I went ahead and went to Walgreen's and got a few deals, nothing nearly as good as last week. On the way back the donut shop was still closed so I ran to Krystal. It is the only fast food place near the house so my options were limited. Sunday, Daniel was home by 1:00 and after we had all eaten lunch and Daniel had showered away the campfire aroma we went and did our grocery shopping. First I went to Bi-Lo for size bags of FREE dog food that I had a rain check for and 20 containers of cat food. Everyone stayed in the car so I was in and out in just a few minutes. Then I went to Publix. I did pretty good. I spent $112.66 and saved $106.01. I could have done a little better but when the whole family comes with you to the store your buggy ends up with things that are not on the list and I had $3.00 in expired coupons that I could not use. They expired the 27th! I was there on the 28th. I also left my grocery list at home so that made things a little harder. After we got home from the store Daniel and I were not in the mood to cook. So we all went to the Chilli's downtown and used the gift card mom gave me for V-day. It was pretty good. We took the kids home and I told Daniel I still had one FREE movie ticket left that was going to expire that day. To my surprise he agreed to go to the movies with me again. I got on Fandango and found an 8:00pm showing of Valentine's Day. I punched in my FREE movie code and reserved a ticket. It was 7:20pm so I helped Daniel unload his camping stuff from the car and we went back to the Majestic for another relaxing movie. What a great way to end a weekend.
