Disclaimer: This is a cop-out post. The one that is going in place of anything deep and meaningful because I don’t have the energy. I am coming to terms with some things that I had hoped weren’t true, but in the end I can’t deny reality. It’s sad and it hurts, but I’m facing it at last. I just can’t write about it yet.

So, because I know every single one of you got up this morning with the same burning question on your mind “What did Jenna do this weekend?” I am here to answer that question.

Things that happened this weekend:

I scoured the clearance racks of clothing looking for overalls for Miss Avacakes. She has hit the “I’m stripping all of my clothes off and running around naked” stage of toddler hood. The two things she can’t strip out of are footy pajamas and overalls. So guess what she’s wearing today?

I got my oil changed and car washed. The car washing was long over due, seeing as how I couldn’t remember what actual color my car was anymore. I’m also pretty sure there are cheerio plants sprouting in the backseat, too. What? Cheerios don’t grow on trees? Dammit!

I discovered Ava likes meatloaf. Not my, yummy, bacon and cheese filled meatloaf. Oh no. The meatloaf that comes from the grocery store, shrink wrapped and microwave ready. Yeah. Stab me in the heart, kid..it’d be less painful.

Things that didn’t happen this weekend:

I still didn’t make it over to Sears to pick up the prints of the Christmas photos we ordered. In November. Yeah.

We didn’t take the Christmas lights down from the ledge in our living room. Hey – at least they’re not on the outside of the house. Only we are aware of our redneck-ness.

Me relaxing. I guess one weekend a year is good for that, right?

Spending enough time playing with Avacakes. There never seems to be enough time for that. Each weekend is filled with laundry, trips to the grocery store, cooking and napping (her, not me) that I always end up feeling like we just didn’t spend enough time just being.

So now that I’ve filled you in on my fun filled weekend – What did you do (or not do) this weekend?
