It is really hard for me to leave once I am at home for the weekend. I wait until the last minute to pack up the car, get gas and actually put the car into gear and drive away. I miss being around my family so much. There is always something exciting happening or something exciting that is going to happen. This weekend my brother and sister had a chance to come home from Pullman. They opted to stay there and work over the summer rather than coming home for break. You can tell mom and dad are lonely without their kids there. They definitely seemed more alive when everyone was home. Erika got a new Yorkie/Shitzu puppy with Brendan's tax money so she brought it home along with her cat Harvey. I also brought my kitties home as well. We had a mini zoo at our house along with the two cats and parakeets who already live at home. It was quite entertaining watching the puppy chase all of the cats and all of the cats hissing at each other. It was worth the wait.
We celebrated Mother's day on Saturday because it fit better with everyone's schedules rather than cramming it into an hour or so on the Sunday. Erika and Doug had to leave on Sunday to get back to Pullman. The weather was a little iffy but we managed to time it just right before it poured down rain. We had the best meal ever: bbq hamburgers, the fixings, chips, beans, desserts etc. We passed out presents and ate cake. We moved the party inside because the clouds were threatening us with rain.
We went inside and played Pictionary with the chalk and chalk board. Everyone started feeling tired so we went home around 8ish. Erika and I decided to go to Wal-mart and just walk around. I got my kitties some name tags and Erika bought some DVD's and a holder for them. We went home and watched some movies while Erika went through her stuff.
Sunday was a chill day. Cleaned up some stuff in the house, did laundry, went on a mini drive with mom and dad to Yelm, found out Yelm now has a Parks & Rec department and an awesome new sports complex out behind the Wal-mart. We went to Dairy Queen and had some icecream. I helped mom move her sewing table into my old room. The darn thing barely made it through the door frame. I got all of my stuff together and left to go back around 10 because I wanted to stay and watch the season finale of Survivor: fans vs. favorites. Parvati won over Amanda. It was a very weird season. Many people had to be taken out because of medical conditions and this season we had the most blind sides. Erik is definitely the dumbest survivor in history. Why would you give up your immunity necklace knowing that you will be voted off? Come on.
I got back around 12:30 a.m. and unloaded the car and cats, put some stuff away and went to bed.
