4 hours down, 4 to go...Just another Monday

Blah. I am so exhausted I had to blast my air conditioner on super freeze just to stay awake on the way to work. I had to write notes in a meeting just to stay coherent. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Even now after lunch I am soooo sleepy!

This weekend was really fun! I picked up my Mom and Mike on Friday and we took them to meet Harley and see our house (we had moved since last time they were here) and then Kyle cooked a great dinner on the grill and we spent a nice evening the first night of their visit.
On Saturday the boys played golf while Mom and I did some decorating around the house with a few little gifts she had brought. We went to SoHo and put things together for a Fall wreath for my door and then we did a bit of shopping in the afternoon. We came back home and had a lovely evening once again so happy to have them here for a few days. On Sunday we headed to the beach and then a nice little seafood place called "Crabby Bills". We came home and hung out the rest of the time laughing and playing with Harley. Mom and I had some fun activities to work on for the house and the boys had a blast playing on the Playstation. Kyle was so happy to have Mike there to enjoy playing some of his golf and football games. They went to the airport this morning and we were sad to see them go. This time parting wasn't so bad for me and Mom because we know she will be back soon to stay with me during my back surgery and some of my recovery time.

I will post some pictures soon of the little improvements made to the house, the fall wreath, and some cute pics from their visit.

Ramble Ramble...

For the past two weeks my hubby and I have been mega cleaning and yes, still unpacking to get our house ready to have visitors! My Mom and her boyfriend are coming to stay for the weekend and I am so excited! I always want the house to be so perfect and it took a lot of work to get it to be ready. Since my back has been hurt I havent been able to really have things the way I want so we finally had to buckle down and get things done. Now we can finally open our house up for friends as well! I love to be a hostess so I can't wait to have some more get togethers at our home after this weekend. We are already planning to possibly host a Thanksgiving Day get together for friends ( a bit before the actual day) as we arent able to go home this year due to increasing airline flights. We wanted to have a bit of Thanksgiving so we are hoping to have it at our house (depending on my surgery) so we can have a bit of the holiday to celebrate like normal even if it will be not normal.

This weekend I am planning on getting stuff together for fall decorating. My Mom and I are going to bust out a wreath for the door and she is going to help me with some tips and motherly advice for the house. I know I know...a designer needs help decorating her house? Well, who do you think I got it from? She is just so good with making things look beautiful. I am trying to wrangle her into getting a blog so she can post her fun projects. That is one of my goals this weekend actually - to persuade her and then help her get it started while she is here! My Dad finally has a political blog that he has wanted to start for a while and I am hoping to give him some tips and things even if it has to be via the old email.

Sorry this is just a little chatty post. I dont have anything to do at work today so I am just hanging out and trying to look as busy as possible so I don't think about how my Mom will be here this evening!!!!!!!!
I am seriously sooo excited! My Mom and I are really close and I miss her like crazy. I have seen her twice this year and it just has not been enough!

Have a happy Friday!
