My Weekend (this is a LONG one!)

OK, it is LATE TUES night,,,,,(actually 12AM Wed morning now!)
But I HAVE to write about my weekend! It was something ELSE!
OK, First of all, It was Mother's Day Weekend! Every year, we look forward to this weekend. There is a "fundraiser" at the local KOA Campground. (We try and raise money for kids with cancer.) A close friend of ours is the Manager there. She always asks my husband to MC the event.....he also provides the entertainment along with his brother(they sing and play guitar w/ friends) SO every year, his brother and his family stay with us for the weekend! The days leading up to this event, I always panic and get stressed out because I want to make sure my house is spotless! I want to be sure they enjoy their stay with us,,,,,,etc.
Well, here's how this particular weekend went,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Friday I was off! I was excited because my Best Friend asked me if I could take her to a DR. appt that morning! We work together but she has been out on Medical Leave of Absence and so I dont get to see her as much as I normally would! SO I knew this would be my chance to spend some time with her! SO we went to the DR appt, then we got to actually go and have LUNCH together(we NEVER get to do that!) We had a GREAT time! Got to do alot of "catching up."
Late Friday afternoon it was time to head out to the KOA! It was fun! My husband and his brother "entertained." My daughter and her cousins swam. I got to sit and watch it all and listen to it all with my Best Friend! OK, let me stop right here,,,,,,there was a point when I had to leave and go to a wedding rehearsal! Several months ago, I agreed to play the piano for a friend of ours who was getting married this weekend. SO I went and played for the rehearsal,,,,,then I came back to KOA!
Also let me say here,,,,,,I was having a great time,,,,,,,but I had told my best friend, Robbin that I wasnt quite right,,,,,for a week I had no appetite and my stomach bothered me! Well, this particular evening, it was really bothering me! It just HURT!
OK, still FRIDAY night (are you able to keep up?), Now it is time to go home! My husband's family decided they would STAY at the campground this year in a tent! Well, My daughter and her oldest cousin JESSE asked if they could come home with me. I said "sure". We go home and I went downhill from there! I ran a fever that night! and all I can say is my stomach just "HURT"! and because of the fever, I couldnt stay warm!
ON SATURDAY morning, I was "supposed" to go back out to the KOA, take the girls with me of course and I was supposed to "help" with a Yard Sale they were having. Needless to say, I couldnt do it! There's no way! I felt so LOUSY! I stayed in bed, the girls slept in(whew! =o) ) I figured they would come get me up eventually. Instead, my brother-in-law came out and picked them up for me (GOD bless him!) and I just sleep and sleep and sleep.......Well, Guess what? At 2:00 I have a Wedding I have to play for!!!! It was one of the HARDEST things I have EVER had to do in my life! I had to get up and shower and get dressed and go to a Wedding!! OMG! People there hugged me and told me how GREAT I looked! I thought to myself "Yeah, its amazing what a shower and some make-up can do!" I played the piano,,,,,it was a pretty wedding,,,,,,I basically slipped out the back door and drove home and went STRAIGHT TO BED! and I slept and slept and slept!!!!! In the back of my mind I thought I would try and go back out to KOA that evening,,,,,,,,It didnt happen! I didnt NEED to go anywhere!!!!! I stayed home and slept and watched a couple of good movies! Then around 10pm EVERYONE came home,,,,,,there was a storm brewing, No one would be staying in a TENT that night! As soon as they all got here, I went to bed! I had to!
SUNDAY morning: I wake up off and on beetween 8 and 10 a.m. I dont know if I can actually GET UP and face a house full of company or not!!??!?!? But I get up and guess what? I feel pretty good! Ended up, I felt WONDERFUL! I had a WONDERFUL Mother's Day! I spent the day with my daughter and with my brother-in-law and his family! It was GREAT! We laughed and talked and had a GREAT DAY!
Now, why didnt I feel that good on Saturday?
Thats not for me to figure out!
My weekend was what it was!
I'll just have to look forward to doing it all again NEXT year!
