The house smells like Pinesol, 409, and laundry! Everything is sparkling clean and ready to be destroyed again.

I can't believe I actually got moving. I credit the 8:30pm cup of coffee for getting me off my ass... but damn. I was rooted in Tired Town today.

Pause...

Oh. Hello belly. I hate you and your bad attitude! You and your friends acid reflux, nausea, and pain can all just get the F out, k? Thanx.

Despite doing entirely too much yesterday I had a lovely day. After a late lunch at The Brewhouse we hit the grocery store and then cleaned the whole house. The boys came over to hang out and I mostly stayed in the kitchen, creating a giant vat of 16 Bean Soup, a loaf of beer bread, and a batch of Nick's Grandmother's Peanut Butter Cookies.

Girls - if you ever need an ego boost, bring a tray of warm cookies and milk out to a room full of grown men playing video games. You will be hailed as a queen of all lands.

9am TV is so weird. I'm scrolling around watching all these people who had to be up at 3am and they are all so perky! Where is the "I just rolled out of bed and loud noises still startle me" show?

ZOMG TIREDS!!!

Seriously, I have been so wiped out! Add in a bad belly, and woosh, this weekend has been tough. It's time for my HUMIRA, so maybe that will help.

We still managed to have a lot of fun. There was Rodan at The Plaza, brunch and football in the village with the boys (I only made it to halftime, but the grits were totally worth getting dressed for and made my angry tummy happy), a visit from my silly Kate, and lots of quiet fun moments together.

You know, I have been thinking. This is the south. Everywhere should have grits all the time. It should be like having sweet tea. I'm just sayin'.

It's pouring outside again. I vote no on flooding!! Although I am thoroughly enjoying being curled up on the couch, sketch book in hand, Katie snuggled at my side, and a warm cup of coffee at my fingertips.

In fact, I've been glued to this exact spot since around 11am when my body rudely awakened me with a bad belly and a wonky headache. Both have calmed some since, but baring a miracle I'm in for the day/night.

Nick's on his way home from work. I can't wait to take a nap with him. ;)

Had a great day.... but I am exhausted. Kate came over for a bit and I almost couldn't keep my eyes open.There's no way I can travel this weekend. See you next time, Chattanooga!

I am so gonna take a nap. Right about... now!

I had soooo much fun with Kate and Kirby and Hardwick last night! We goofed around and went out for Mexican. It was a lost in the moment kinda night.

Nat just called to see if I wanted to go to Tijuana Garage for "lunch."  I said HELLS YES, Mexican and awesome friend combo repeat!!

Kate invited me to go up to Chattanooga with her this weekend to chill with her family. I'm totally going!! Here's hoping my body holds up, but silly Kate will take care of me.

Time for more coffee. I am soooo tired today I can barely keep my eyelids open.

Today I sewed a silly little rag doll and took a walk in the sunshine (sunshine!), among other things.

The crawlspace is still drying out. In the meantime we decided we'll invest in a water alarm. If only we'd thought of that 2 days ago!

At least we managed to turn yesterday around. After naps & being lazy around the house, we went for a drive. On the way home we picked up pizza, and then Nick turned to me and said "boy do I have a surprise for you..." Turns out we'd both totally forgotten about his work potluck today. It was especially bad since he's the host this time! He picked a Luau theme so we stopped by the store and rushed home to make Hawaiian Chicken. We've really gotta get a calendar. We're both always forgetting stuff.

Doot doot. Ah. Relaxing after work is so very nice.

I'm having dinner with Kate and her sissy tonight. Wheeee!!!

That would be the downtown connector here in Atlanta... right at Freedom Parkway, just a few miles from our place. MADNESS!
