Holy Moly...I've Gone Purple!

Hello! Let's jump right in, shall we?! hehe! Wednesday and Thursday were the days for more deployment expos and such. I got lots of handouts and stuff. Got the kids some sort of daddy doll that they can put a picture of Paul in the face part so they can see him every night after he deploys. I also got a couple of teddy bears with patches all over them. They're cute! I put those away as part of birthday gifts for the girls. Jannie has informed me that her birthday is very soon. And yes, it is!


After the expo thing on Thursday, I dropped Lori and Jill off and Jill left to get her mama. And then the long weekend came about with everyone's husbands off for the 4-day weekend. That is everyone, but me. Now, he had it off, but he is still at school. So yeah, my weekend pretty much sucked being alone all day long!


First though, Thursday night Nathan had a feetsball game. He got to play 3-4 plays and he loved it. He loves feetsball when they actually play him, so I am glad they played him. His team lost though. Boo! Holly came to the game with me and the girls. After the game, we all went back home and started dinner. Soon Heather and Ben came over. They were in town for business and wanted to do dinner. It was awesome to have 2 of my 3 sisters over. We missed ya, Heidi. Ben grilled up some steak and chicken for fajitas. Holly made some guac and I started up the peppers and onions. I even used low carb tortillas for my fajita to keep up with the low carb diet. Soon after dinner, because we ate kinda late, everyone left that had to leave and I got kids into bed after dishes were done.


I hung out around the house on Friday while the kids were in school. I did go over Friday morning to Jill's house and met her mama and chatted with them for a little bit before going home. I really don't remember what all I did Friday. Soon the kids were done with school and I went and grabbed them. When Nathan was done with feetsball practice, I grabbed him. The girls went to Winter's house to spend the night and Sage came over to spend the night here. Jill invited me over to play some games, so I headed over there.


We played SkipBo and in we I mean, Jill, her mama, and Brett (Jill's hubby) and me. Soon after, Lori and Rob showed up and we played Phase 10. I love Phase 10! After we played Phase 10, it was time to head home.


On Saturday, Jannie was supposed to go over to another friend's house but it was canceled because the mom was sick. So I let the girls stay at Winter's for a bit. Then Dawn (Winter's and Sage's mama) picked up the boys and she took her 4 and my 3 to the outlet mall. She's a trooper because she went by herself with 7 kids! Eek! So I hung out at home by myself, again, until Holly came over to do up laundry. We watched a few movies and I ended up falling asleep in the second one.


I needed a hairscut so I texted Diana (my hairscutting peep) and she told me to go see her at 4:30. I left a little before that to run an errand when Nathan texted. He and the girls were home by then and I swung by and grabbed Nathan since he needed his hairs cut too. We ran over to SuperCuts but some other lady beat us and was getting a style done, so we had to wait for a bit. The girls were at home with Holly still. They were going to stay the night with Holly again at her hotel.


When we got done with the hairscut, we headed back home. Holly and the girls were finishing up dinner and then they got ready to leave. Nathan was going to a baptism at the church for a friend of his so I ran him up there. While I was gone, Holly and the girls left. I stopped to get a RedBox movie and got home to an empty house again. Sigh. Thankfully Jill invited me over for another round of Phase 10. The night before, she won the game, however, this night, I kicked booty! WOOT!

After the baptism, Nathan was invited to go bowling with some members and their sons. So when he was done and got home, he texted me about the movies I got. He wanted to watch one with me, so when Phase 10 was done, I headed home. When I got home, he wanted to go get a soda so we headed to the Shoppette for that and then back to the house to watch the movie. He fell asleep toward the end of it and I went to bed a little after 1:00 AM! Eek!!

Sunday I slept in just a little bit. I was up before Nathan was. I texted a little bit then Nathan was awake. He asked if he could go to the movies with Sage and I said that was fine but that meant another day by myself. So after he left, I went back to bed to watch a movie. Holly texted and wanted to know if I wanted to go to the mall with her and the girls. So I got up and got ready to go. When they got here, we headed out to the outlet mall. We went to a few stores and walked around a bit. Then after a while, we headed home. Nathan was there with Sage playing video games. I had put a roast in the crockpot that morning and it was smelling yummy. We hung out and when it was time to make up the rest of dinner, I did so. It was yummy. 


Holly was going to have the girls spend the night again and they were getting ready to go. I was invited over to someone's (from FRG) house along with Jill. I told the girls bye and good night, gave them a kiss and I grabbed Jill and we headed over to Jasmine's house. Jill ended up helping Jasmine recolor her hairs since she missed a lot of spots. Paul called me and I went on the patio and chatted with him for a good bit. Then he let me go so he could call the kids on their cell phones. We didn't stay at Jasmine's too long. I took Jill home so she could get her girls into bed (Brett was home) and she grabbed a hoodie and we left to my house. 

Meghan lost this game to Holly

Lori had invited us over as well, so I stopped at my house and Nathan was there playing video games. I asked if he wanted to come along and he didn't. Lori lives only a couple of streets from me and he knows where she lives. He had borrowed a headset from Lori earlier that night and he and his buddies were chatting on it. I grabbed a hoodie and we went to Lori's. They were at their neighbor's house and I must say that this was the first party I have ever crashed. Ha! We met everyone and had a good time chatting. Soon we left and walked back over to Lori's house and we chatted there. After a little while, I took Jill home and went home myself. Nathan had feetsball Monday morning so he had gone to bed fairly early (for him) so he could get up for practice. 

This morning I got Nathan up at 7:45 AM so he could get ready for feetsball. The plan was to meet Holly at the zoo with the girls, but Nathan wasn't sure when he would be done. He said prolly no later than 11:00. I dropped him off and went home. Soon Jill and her clan were over but only parked in my driveway and made their way over to the baseball field. Our housing area renovated it and they were having a mother/son vs. father/daughter game and Brett and girls were going to play in it (not my girls but Brett and Jill's girls). Paul texted with me and soon had to go because he was studying. He has 3 major tests tomorrow morning! Eek! 


Jill and I watched the game and soon was joined by another lady from FRG named Cinda. The game was fun to watch. The father/daughter team won and after they had free nachos, popcorn, cracker jack and hot dogs. Then they had some "door prizes" and I didn't win! Shucks! Oh at some point during all this, I dropped my garage remote since I took that instead of keys to get into my house. So after this was all done, we walked back to my house but the garage doors wouldn't open and I figgered it was a power outage. So we sat on the patio and chatted. I remembered I dropped my garage door opener and I figgered the batteries were knocked loose. So I opened it up, fixed the batteries and nothing. I messed around a bit and nothing. Finally after messing around a bit with it again, only one garage door opened, which was all I needed. Jill could grab her keys that were on my counter and I didn't have to call anyone to come unlock my house! hehe!


Nathan texted me and said he was done but it was close to 11:30 so I went and grabbed him. He really didn't want to go to the zoo and I let Holly know. She said that was fine because the zoo was sorta dumb anyway. She said there were hardly any animals. But I'm glad that she is here and that the girls can hang out with her. She loves to spoil her nieces and nephews and I know my girls are in heaven with Holly around! They had a fun time at the zoo and I heard they went to the mall again after and ate Chinese food, which I hear is Holly's MOST least favorite thing to eat from a mall! hehe

The Meerkats

After hanging out with Nathan for a bit and seeing that he had only interest in the video game he was playing with his friends the day before (he still hasn't Lori's earpiece), I figgered I could sit and watch him play, or fix my boring hairs. I thought about bleaching the ends and coloring it purple and leaving the black underneath somehow. I needed gloves and some bleach for my hairs. I asked Jill if she wanted to go and she was down with that. We ran a few errands and then made our way to Sally's to grab the stuff I needed and then to Jill's house to bleach my hairs and color it. And yes, my hairs were weeping!! hehe! And I decided my whole head was going to be purple. Jill was going to color her hair the same time too. She decided that she was going to go for a different shade, a lighter pink rather than the hot pink she normally has.

Yep the hairs must be bleached! And yes, that's a Commissary bag on my head!

Jill opted for a Wal Mart bag!

Facebooking in the sun!

Commissary or Wal Mart?!

Now for the purple!

I'm skerred!

Jill?! Is that you?!

Something's on fire!

Purple haze

Holy moly...I've gone purple!

After my hairs was done, I headed home and hung out with the kids until bedtime. So this was my weekend and such. I hope y'all have a great night!
