This past weekend was random and spent catching up on all of the things that we did and didn't want to do. It was so random, I kind of don't even know where to start. So, I guess I'll just start with Friday night.
Many of you may or may not know that for the past several months I have kind of been fighting an internal battle about what to do about my career. Do I stay with the non-profit, Family Tree, that I know and love? Do I go to a hospital and make LOTS more money, but have a busier schedule and not as much flex time? Do I stay home with Chance because that is the motherly thing to do? So many questions...
On my personal quest for answers, I did what all rational people do. I rented a documentary from Netflix about eating disorders to try and get a feel for what working in a hospital with these type of mental health patients might be like.
I'm happy to report that I have made a decision and laid my internal battle to rest! Maybe it was the particular documentary that I watched or maybe it was my head telling me what my heart knew all along. All it took was one silly documentary and now I am 100% convinced that I am not cut out to be a therapist for in-patient hospital treatment.
Thanks HBO for making this documentary THIN in 180 mintutes you were able to put my dilemma to rest.
Now that I've made my decision, my confusion seems a little silly to me. Can you believe that I actually contemplated working at an eating disorder hosptial? I mean...I like to feed people. A lot!
Max found this movie disturbing, boring, and depressing. He was honestly a little pissed that I made him spend a night on the couch figuring this all out. All that matters now...is that it is all figured out and I feel better :)
Saturday was crazy! We spent the morning with Chance running our respective errands. We're so traditional sometimes it kills me. Chance and I went to the grocery store to buy all of our groceries for the week and Max set out to change all of the oil in our cars. Boring, I know, but these things must be done so that you can enjoy the finer things in life....like K-STATE FOOTBALL!
We headed to Bret and Lauren's place downtown to watch the game on TV. The game started at 130pm and I thought we would only be a few hours. Max and I even made tentative plans to go for a bike ride or a run with Chance after the game. Little did we know that the CATS were going to get into an epic battle with Texas A&M lasting 4 over times and five hours! What a game!
Good victory State!
Sunday was a family day and we spent time together laying around and doing things around the house. We started off the day at 430am if you are wondering (daylight savings time has Chance all messed up :(
I guess that is okay though because it gave me time to watch cartoons in bed with Max and Chance and make my men a proper french toast breakfast. Who doesn't love cooking for the men they love?
After breakfast it was time to catch up on all of our laundry. Thank goodness I have an amazing little helper. Plain old laundry is boring.
Then it was time for Max and I to take on raking the leaves out of the back yard. Just in case you didn't know... Max and I hate yard work at this house. It seems like all we do is clean crap out of the back yard and it never gets better! Raking, was something we were both not looking forward to, but we got it done!

After:
The reward came after our little man woke up from his nap time and he was able to play with us in his newly cleaned yard.
Sometimes the weekends with nothing on the calendear, turn out to be just the weekend you needed.
