Back to the REALLY "Big City"

 At least for the CountryMouse and Husband!

Please note the time the coffee arrived on the nightstand... please also note, my phone is telling me I should still be sleeping!

"We've" been doing this a LONG time... Husband did like his past Dr who retired but the one who took over was NOT a good fit....so if you remember we went to Boston for the top dog of New England back in June...he listened and allowed Husband some time but it finally got to the point that he was done waiting, Husband was uncomfortable enough and they had to get removed.... 

Wednesday was the big day.... of course Minnie's soccer game would get moved to Wednesday night because why NOT? 

We left the house around 5:20AM and when I put our destination in my phone it immediately said "there more traffic than USUAL today..." great.... love starting a road trip stressed....

Sure enough GPS was right and our arrival time of 7:30 went right out the window... to say that I was freaking out might be a "slight" understatement... I HATE BEING LATE...

I texted this picture to Minnie because she does love her some Boston Blue...looked like a scene from the show....beautiful skyline beautiful flag and all!

I also snapped this picture for the girls in hopes that it was Season 2 of Crew Girl but after googling it I don't think it was... maybe a scene for Boston Blue??  

Thank GOODNESS no one was grouchy that we were 40 min later than they hoped and Husband got checked right in.... procedure started around 10.... 

I was happy in an empty waiting room but I assure you this is NOT how it ended up... in fact when the Dr called me and I stepped out into the hallway to go over everything.... 

I lost my seat... so I walked and stood for the next hour... until I got a text from Husband that said "let's get outta here" so I went looking for him :) When I got into the PACU the boy at the desk said "did they call you, he's only been in here for 40 min and usually it's 2 hours?" 

I said no.... but my Husband wants to leave sooooo can you check with someone??? 

And at about 2:15 I was experiencing my first VALET service... almost 50... never done valet... had no idea HOW to do valet but thankfully they brought me my car....

I maneuvered all of this and MORE traffic on the way home...

as evidenced by the stress of my blood sugar....

so that we could get home to watch this girl do her thing!

A WIN to end the night and FINALLY my bed by 9:30!!!! 

Husband is doing well, really happy with the procedure and we shall see about next steps....

The LONG Weekend Report

 

Starting with Thursday because... why not? A beautiful night for soccer.... 

The ONLY time they were smiling.... 

On Friday after they had practice they came over to the one and only HOME XC meet to support their buds....I brought popsicles and THAT got smiles!

We cheered on our PINK LADIES!

Oh my SWEET C-LINE!

Saturday and Sunday the gals reffed all day both days (Miss B's day was a little shorter on Sunday)

and when we picked her up after church we took a walk down to the water... it was FREEZING cold

on Monday NO one had to BE anywhere....

clearly we ALL took advantage of that....

Why are the 3 day weekends the shortest??? 

Wordless Wednesday: Miss B SCORES

 

Dahlias!

 

The Weekend Report

 It was a DOOZIE! 

Kicked (pun intended) off Friday night at TA. NO ONE was happy about this... both boys and girls JV and Varsity teams were AT TA while our OWN school was having their homecoming football game. Boo. Hiss. 

Barks and I picked up CountryDad on the way and we caught about 3/4 of the game. It was ROUGH! BUT Miss B played GREAT!

After her game I had PLENTY of time to run everyone back home in order to turn around and GO back to watch Minnie. The game was SUPPOSED to start at 7:45 and I think they "kicked" off at 8:10! Whew a LATE night but the warm temps and sitting with Tamarah :) made it bearable...

I PANIC about parking but when I pulled in the boy moms were pulling OUT...

PRIME PARKING FOR COUNTRY MOUSE! WHOOP WHOOP!

Tamarah realized that O and Minnie were both getting subbed in and told me to "quick get a pic"! Thank GOODness she did... LOVE these two...and how they are PRETENDING not to know and LOVE each other....

I mean PUH-LEEZE... 

Nice try ladies....

Sitting with Tamarah and watching our girls (until mine got a yellow card and was benched by her coach for the last 20 min of the game) was the ONLY fun thing about that night!

It was a quick turn around on Saturday AM but Miss B's game was canceled so I went with Husband to get some labs he needed done and we made it back for Minnie's game... surprise visitors....Jenn and Lib!!!!

I joked that Miss B should have leaned down for Lib to recreate this pic :) Sweet girls!

A PERFECT day to be outside in the sunshine!

These two cracking me up with their readers, YouTube and fixing Katie's car!

Once Minnie showered and had a moment to breathe we headed out for an early dinner. Neither of the gals was interested in going to the HoCo dance so we made it family fun night! Then Minnie made posters for Corinne and Abbey to welcome them home from the Festival of Champions and their great race times!!!! 

We came home the back way because I had seen the great pumpkin earlier in the week and obvi my girls NEEDED to see it! :)

In the words of Minnie "this was SO not worth car sickness" HA!

On Sunday AM these two were up bright and early to head out with Sky and L&L to "Husband's Fair" Miss B was SOOOOO EXCITED!

2025

Nice to be missed :) Minnie had to work at 12 so I stayed back with her went to SS and worship and got ready for the week ahead...

Double fistin' the donuts! HA!

But really just holding it for Husband so he could pay! Ha!

Miss B's fav part... she said "Mom I could literally sit and watch them all day..." I get it babe... I really do! It's ALWAYS been her favorite part!

Ended with everyone finally home and in the living room by 5:30ish and I was IN BED by 7!! Whew it was a busy one!
