The W's

     It's the weekend, but as I've been off work, it's felt like the weekend each day. Ugh, I don't want to think about being back next week, so let's not. Here's my W's for the week.

What’s top of my mind: 

      My family. My son is here! We've had a day and a half to catch up. 

Where I've been:

 

       Shopping with my daughter including a good wander in IKEA. I'll recap what we did as a family next week.

Where I’m going:

    We'll be at the lake, but also meeting up with my family to see my son and say goodbye to my daughter.

 What I'm eating:

 

     Seems like a lot of chicken dishes. I had tortellini Alfredo ready for Thursday once back with my son, and decided to do the chicken on the side. DD2 isn't the biggest meat eater either so that worked out better. I've been in a PB and j sandwich mood too, enjoying the blueberry jam I made last month.

What I’m watching:

     I tried the House if Dragon's. It likely won't be my cup of tea. It's been too nice to watch TV inside anyway. 

What I’m reading:

     Nothing yet. I'm not sure what to think of Verity. It sure was a talk worthy book.

What I’m listening to:

 Labor day weekend music through the years on one of the local radio stations. It's nice getting variety from the rotation of 10 songs. I like Sia, but I swear it's a rule that I can't turn in my car radio without hearing "Unstoppable". 

What I’m planning: 

    Still not planning, other than to enjoy the weekend.

Who needs a good slap:

   My daughter's insurance. She was quoted that her car insurance would drop with bundling. Then, gets notice her car is going up October 1 as annual renewal rate. She will be shopping around. That's a complete bate and switch. They gave some song and dance that everyone's rates are increasing, it's the costs of repairs, etc. But, they didn't know this the end of July? 

Who Deserves Knuck's (Fist Bump):  

   Delta, for getting my son here safe and sound and in time, actually a bit early. I've never seen the pickup area so busy, even at Christmas. DH said he heard labor day weekend is now the third busiest travel weekend. Where he gets these things he's heard, I have no idea. 

What’s making me smile:

     My family, once again for the answer. We're all together and I am happy.

     Life happens and things change in a blink of the eye. I'd like to slow down the good moments, preserve them a bit longer. I hope your weekend and week is memorable.
