Nick’s team won again- they’re 5-0, wahoo! The kid’s been playing sports since he was five, soccer, baseball, hockey, basketball, soccer again… and he’s never been on a winning team. Till now. He’s glowing. Really, it’s very cool.
Tim and Nick had money to burn so Pat and I took them to Target. Nick got a new watch, but they didn’t have the memory stick he wanted (amazon is the next stop), and Tim has discovered Pokemon- so he bought himself a starter set. I think it’s Emerald, for those of you who know such things.
Nobody? Good, me either. Anyway, they’re all new Pokemon and he’s beyond thrilled with his purchase.
I like when my kids are happy.
Meanwhile, I got a new dresser and wall mirror from Target, so Andy can have my old dresser (he’s been making do with a plastic cart thing for 3 years.) We also finally got paint for my bedroom, so hopefully we’ll get that taken care of within a week or so. I totally ignored my mom’s advice and got a “dark color”. She gave me the same advice when I was a teenager and wanted to put denim wallpaper up (”no, it’s too dark and depressing.”) I always regretted it (I got blue flowery paper instead that I never really liked but she loved… story of my youth.)
Anyway, I love my new wallcolor, it’s called Quiet Storm. The trim and ceiling will be white, as will all the furniture- eventually. Of course, I only plan on living in this room for another year, since I hope we have the addition done by next summer, but I can’t stand putting off painting it any longer! When we move out it will become Andy’s room when he’s around, and a guest room / media room (read Pat’s music room) when he’s away. Good thing Andy isn’t really into room decor, as long as I don’t put in a flowery bedspread and curtains he should be cool with it.
I’m trying to shake off a headache, then heading outside to do a little yard clean up. Tim has a game tonight, and Pat will take him, but I’m not sure I’m going to watch- I’ve come to realize that I’m One Of Those Moms… the ones that get frustrated with their kid’s performance and have a hard time keeping quiet about it- not good for either of us. Maybe I’ll ride my bike over there for awhile anyway, I can sure use the exercise!
Sounds like a perfect Saturday, except for the headache!
