This week in the Winburn home...

I must admit, I've never been this faithful with blogging. I attribute it to 1) Andrew encouraging me to keep it up and 2) being on a "blogger high" right now ;-)

This week has already been busy, and it's about to get crazier. I thought I'd go ahead and let you know what's going on. Then, hopefully I'll still be on the blogger high and post pictures of all these events next week. Here goes nothing.

I worked on Monday night, came home and slept 'til around 1:30 this afternoon. After running errands, I came home and Andrew and I got ready for some church friends to come over. We grilled hamburgers by the pool, and finally called it a night because --drum roll.........mosquitoes have already made their annoying appearance. Boo, I don't like them at all.

I will work Wednesday and Thursday nights while Andrew finishes everything up for church on Sunday. On Friday, after a couple hours of sleep, Andrew and I will head downtown to Gavin's USC graduation. I cannot believe that my little brother is graduating college. I am so proud of him! After spending time with the Browns, we'll head to Anderson on Friday night to wake up bright and early for Sara Lynn's (Andrew's youngest sister's) graduation ceremony on Saturday morning. I hope the weather is nice, because outdoor graduations are awesome. I remember mine so fondly...I almost passed out from the heat! Ha! The whole Winburn family will travel to Anderson for this event, so that should be pretty fun. I'm anxious to see Molly, Ellie, Manning, and Wyatt all together at a graduation. I really hope to run into Mrs. Deedy Francis while we're there, too. She taught me private voice lessons from 6th-12th grade. What a special lady!

At some point on Saturday afternoon, we'll head back to Columbia to get ready for Sunday. I'll be off til next Thursday, so it'll be so nice having a few days to just relax. At least this is Nurses' Week, so we've had a few fun things going on at work: wearing fun scrubs, ice cream parties, free barbecue tomorrow night, etc.

In other random news:

- Andrew and I finished watching all season of "The Office!!!!!!" I must admit that I was sad for that to come to an end. It was fun going on netflix and watching random marathons, and there's no better show to do that with. Hilarious.

-Recent netflix movies:

Night at the Museum II: Really a movie for the kids, but I'd never seen the first one, so I thought, "Hey, why not watch the second!"

Because I Said So: Typical movie...sort of funny, sort of romantic, sort of annoying at times.

300: A war movie of Spartans fighting against King Xerxes of Persia. It got weird and gory at times, but it wasn't horrible. Wow, I bet you really wanna watch all these don't ya?

The Box: This was an extremely interesting movie (kinda sci-fi) with some EXTREME spiritual symbolism. However, I wouldn't call it spiritual. Anyway, if you're in the mood for something different...this is it.

-We're going to Charleston in May to hang out with Miss Camille and house sit for her parents. I am so pumped! You will definitely hear more about this random fact.

-This just in: Andrew is now tired and ready to go to sleep, so he has no random news to share with you all. On that note, I should probably turn the computer off for now.

Fatigue...

Life is definitely full of different seasons, and this one is--well, it's interesting and highly incompatible with a "normal life schedule" at times. Like today-- (Sunday). I worked last night from 7pm til this morning at 7am. After giving report on my babies, I drove home, walked into apartment around 7:45 as Andrew was walking out, took a shower, fell asleep on the bed for 15 minutes, and was at church to practice music at 9:30.

Disclaimer: I am in no way trying to complain about my life, only trying to share with some who don't know and might be curious.

After church, I came home and was in the bed by 12 noon. I slept soundly, without earplugs, in the middle of the day, until 6pm! Even then, Andrew had to force me to wake up! At least I can be grateful for the ability to sleep through just about anything. It never fails that 30 kids are screaming like crazy at our pool during my sleep time, and Andrew always is amazed at how I can sleep straight through it.

So, here I am...blogging to the world (somewhat awake) while Andrew tries to stay awake after a long day. Sundays are pretty big days for him, and if you don't know it already--we're prone to have "interesting" things come up on a Sunday that are flat out energy drainers. To top off just being busy on a Sunday, he still found time to go to Target for some medicine for me, grab this week's paper (for coupons), took the church trailer back, went to his parents' house and spent time with Molly and Ellie (our nieces), and came home to wake me up and heat up some leftovers for me. All I can say is...what a man!

Now, Andrew's made smoothies...we're going out to the pool to enjoy the last few minutes of daylight. Peace out!
