3 Day Weekend

Obviously today is the middle day of a nice long 3 day weekend. I must admit with everything that has been going on I forgot it was a 3 day weekend until yesterday afternoon. Boy am I glad it's a 3 day weekend though, I need it. I've been a little wacky lately. Super forgetful. Not remembering it's a 3 day weekend is nothing compared to some stuff I've forgotten recently. Last Sunday I was making a soup, after it had been on for hours I went to check on it. It was a mere 30 minutes before I wanted to serve it up when I realized I never turned the crock pot on. I kept wondering why I wasn't smelling anything. Then this past Friday I went to the post office but didn't have all my stuff together to ship whatever I was shipping so I had to come back home then make another trip back to the post office. Oh and this is really embarrassing I sent Christmas gifts out to my family in the Phx area about 3 weeks ago, yes they were being sent late to begin with. Anyway the package was delivered back to us yesterday. Apparently I made a mistake with the zip code. I'm not dyslexic but that zip code error makes it look like I am. So to the Moore family I promise I'll try it again come Tuesday. And expect a little extra goodie, I'm going to do some baking, in an effort to help me clear my head, so something extra tasty will be included when I try to mail out your package again.

Brad is classifying this 3 day weekend as his mini vacation before starting a new job. Tuesday is a big day for him, he starts working at his new property. Before officially accepting this new job he had quite the list of things he asked for from the new company and he got every single criteria met. Sweetness! He was super happy! As for the previous place he was working, they lost almost their whole entire staff. A couple other people decided to "jump ship" so to speak and leave with Brad this past week. Only small negative in my opinion and his opinion is the distance. It will be a much longer commute. We have been planning on moving at the end of February but those plans are not completely for sure. Moving two aging pugs that are having vision issues is not going to be an easy thing. One pug's vision issues is temporary during his aftermath of episodes but his older brother's vision issues is not temporary. We'll see...I'd say the percentage as of this very moment is 70% in favor of moving and 30%  in favor of staying put. More stuff to weigh out!

Obviously things didn't go well for the Texans last night. Hopefully things will go better for Cowboys today. Brad has had a countdown going until game time. And yes, his big request was football pancakes for breakfast. He's spoiled just slightly! Hee-Hee! I make football shaped pancakes for him on numerous football Sundays. It was kind of funny earlier when I noticed the last time the syrup was used it was placed back in our pantry with drips going down the sides of it, a sticky mess. When I questioned who left the syrup bottle a drippy sticky mess Brad had a coy grin on his face then blamed his brother. For a second I felt like I was listening to a blame game story from their childhood. The reason his brother got the blame is because we had an overnight get-together at New Year's and I made waffles for brunch New Year's day. So Brad is sure it was Rob who left the syrup bottle a mess not him. LOL! Oh brother! Pun intended!:)

So football shaped pancakes for breakfast, me in my Cowboys socks, the boys in Cowboys shirts, and my husband in his championship rings shirt should send good positive vibes the Cowboys way today. Let me add Brad is on day 2 of wearing Cowboys gear. He was decked out yesterday too. He's funny! He had to start a day early. LOL! If they win today my bet would be on him wearing his 3rd long-sleeve Cowboys shirt. He only has 3 long sleeve shirts. Numerous short-sleeve though. Ready for game time...our house will be almost as loud as the stadium. ;)
