Exhausted...

After yesterday, I am absolutely exhausted. I'm still trying to recover from the weekend, and then, I ran myself to death yesterday. Back in 2000, my best friend, Jen (AKA: Monger), had what we called "Monger Day", every tuesday. We would go out to eat, to the mall, and back to her house to just hang out. It was our day to get together and do what we wanted to. So, sunday night, I called my Monger, and told her we should have lunch at the Olive Garden on tuesday, and that I'd come over afterwards, and spend some time with her and the boys. We were both really excited! It's been a LONG time since we've had a "Monger Day".

I actually got my lazy ass out of bed at 8:30am yesterday morning. I was going to Nancy and Timmy's to get my nails done. I got there a few minutes before 10:00am. The place was locked down, and no lights were on. I was surprised. They didn't open until 10:00am, so I waited. I finally left at fifteen after, when no one arrived. I was frustrated, but worried. I've been going to them for years, so I hope nothing is/was wrong.

I really wanted my nails done, so I broke down and went into the mall. I was actually able to get right in, and get them done. By the time I was finished getting my nails done, it was time to meet Monger for lunch. I met her and Luke at the Olive Garden. We had a great lunch, and I ended up way too stuffed (as usual). How funny is it, that after we ate, Jen asked if I cared to run to the mall with her. A typical Monger Day, ending up at the mall. We browsed through JC Penny's where Jen found a few tops, and I got a sundress and two tops (courtesy of Monger's Penny's card-- THANK YOU MONGER!!!) We got to see my cousin, Joey (AKA: Gig). We were all best friends in high school, running around everywhere together. It was good to get to visit with him for awhile.

After we left the mall, Jen was going to the school to pick up Caleb, and I decided to run my leftovers home to Chris. I felt so bad when I got home, I almost called Monger and told her I was going to come over another day. I had been up all night long, the night before, coughing, and I felt like I was trying to take a cold. I knew Caleb would be so disappointed if I didn't come over, so I got my ass off of the couch and went.














I'm SO glad I did. Aside from getting to spend some time with my Monger and Godsons, some freak came up to her door, telling her his car was broken down in her driveway, and could he use her phone. He just WALKED into her house, and started looking around while he used the phone. Needless to say, we got his ass out of the house ASAP, and locked all of the doors. Come to find out, he's been arrested several times. Monger's husband knew who the guy was, and couldn't believe the guy just came up in the house! The guy got the car started, and left. We were thankful to be rid of the freak.

Just when you think my day is possibly over, it's not. My aunt is an elementary music teacher.











This time of year, the woman is absolutely unbearable to live with. I have two words. Show Choir. It's wonderful, but stresses my aunt out MAJORLY. I still haven't figured that one out yet, because the program went wonderfully last night, but for some reason, the aunt just goes ballistic. Ok, I got a little off track, but to get back on track, after I left Monger's I had to go to her show choir performance. Like I mentioned, it went really well.










The kids did great, and the aunt survived, although, by the time it was over, I felt so miserable, that I wasn't sure if I was going to.

I came home, and made great friends with my couch. This is why, I haven't been around much this week. I promise to do better, when I actually feel like a human again!

What is your friend insane? I would never let some stranger in my house. I have helped ppl out, by handing them a cordless phone on the porch while holding a shot gun to the door. Or maybe I am just paranoid lol

Sounds like a fun day even though you weren't feeling well. I hope you're on the mend.

I hope you feel better asap!

Friends like Monger are so very important. Im glad youve got a good one.

How scary about the Freak!! Im glad nothing bad happened.

If someone walked into my house like that, they'd probably end up shot with a 12 gauge........

Really freaky about the guy walking on in as if he was at HOME.

You did have a busy day. I miss those friend days though! Cherish them, even if your tired~ I am trying so hard to be positive!!!

I have never been an Olive Garden fan....sorry. But right now, I am starving, I don't get lunch for 45 minutes...Ughhhh. Maybe my belly is eating fat cells while it's growling at me!
