Monday was the first day back from Spring Break and it was a looooong one. I woke up at 4:00 a.m. and couldn't really go back to sleep after that, which majorly sucked. Nooooot the best way to start back. The day was good, though, and I got lots of hugs from my sweet kids! : ) Once I got home, I decided I was going to be productive, and I cooked our meals for the week. I made spinach manicotti, sloppy joe, and tuscan garlic chicken. They are some of our favorite meals and are relatively healthy (okay, except for the garlic chicken) and are just. so. good. Bonus points to me for impressing Zach and making him salivate from the moment he entered the door!

Tuesday was good up until the point when Zach called to tell me that his truck had died at USI and I needed to come get him. It was already 8:15, so by the time I got there it was 8:30 and we waited with the truck until AAA got there to tow it to our house. Then we hauled ourselves to his parents' house to borrow their extra truck for him to use. Thank goodness for them! We were struggling with the idea of somehow splitting one vehicle. (A little hard to do when you are in separate counties all days!) We finally got home a little after 10 p.m. and I made a white chocolate strawberry pie to have Wed. with Zach's parents. We crashed a little before midnight and I prayed that there would be a freak reason for a 2- hour delay the next day. There was no such luck.
Wednesday we went out to eat supper with Zach's parents at Little Italy. I didn't try a new entree this time, but had the spinach ravioli yet again. I am determined to keep trying something new next time we go! We came back to the house to hang out and have the pie. Nellie was naturally thrilled because
obviously Nana and Poppy only came to see her, and not her parents. ; ) She thinks that's why anybody ever comes over!
Thursday was my Mama's 55th birthday, so we went to Mama Joyce's to celebrate with some fondue!! I also made her a cookie cake because chocolate chip cookies are her favorite!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday on Friday, but his was really on Saturday. (He wanted to be able to concentrate on the UK game Saturday I think! ; ))

Happy birthdays to both of my wonderful parents! I am glad I am the child who gets to share a birthday week with ya'll! (After all, we all know I was ya'lls best ever belated b-day present!) ; )
It was a busy (and kinda long) week, but a good one!
