Weekend Wrap Up

I had a busy weekend this past weekend.  My mom flew in from Michigan.  Yea! I missed her so much.

On Saturday we cleaned the house to make it presentable.  My mom hadn't seen it yet and it was pretty messy.  Dishes in the sink, stuff piled on the table and my room had clothes everywhere.  If they had hit the road at noon like they said they were going to I don't think we would have gotten everything done.

When my mom finally got here I showed her the house and then we just hung out for a while.  Too long of a while in my opinion because by the time we got to the movie theater the showing of Harry Potter we were hopping to see was sold out.  The next showing was in 3D.  I am not a huge fan of 3D.  Its too much work for my brain, especially in the heat we have been dealing with.  The movie was good though.  A lot of things I didn't remember from the book but, that is to be expected when you haven't read the book since it came out.

After the movie we headed back to Plattsmouth for the night.  First order of business was a trip to Bellevue for Chinese food.  Yum!  I haven't had Chinese since we first moved in and it was awful.  Back to my grandparents after that and then back to my moms to pack up some pictures for my grandparents to bring to her when they go visit.

Up way to early on Sunday.  My grandparents don't know how to be quiet.  I probably could have slept longer but Max woke me up because he had to go see them.  Grandma made omelets for breakfast, they were delicious.  Church after that.  Everyone was happy to see all of us.  Then back to the grandparents after that for family time.  Too soon it came time for me to take my mom to the airport.  I miss her so much already.

Back home after taking my mom to the airport.  My roommate had friends over for a barbecue.  We played an exciting game of phase 10 twist.  The game was taking to long though so we started skipping the twists and repeat phases.  After they left we watched Cyberbully.  My thoughts on that are a whole separate post though.  Amsale Girls after that and then it was off too bed.

O. M. G. The. Heat.

My grandma's twin brother was in town this weekend with his wife, son, and son's girlfriend.  Ok, not in my town but in my hometown.  So of course I went home for the family barbecue.  The high today was 93.  With 77% humidity and a 110 heat index.  The drive home is about an hour.  I don't have air conditioning in my car.  Have I mentioned that before?

My brain is so fried right now that I have already forgotten what this post was about.  Oh yes, the heat.  The drive with no AC wasn't so bad because I got a breeze from having the windows down.  And even though the kids were in and out of my grandparents house that wasn't so bad either.  It was later when we went over to Iowa to fill up my gas tank.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa.

Even though I was back last weekend for the 4th the only trip we made into town was to get fireworks (my roomies parents live south of town and in the country) so I hadn't seen the flooding yet.  When we crossed the Platte River I noticed that you could see the moisture in the air.  It wasn't foggy necessarily but there was definitely moisture in the air.  And yes, I live in Nebraska it is humid all the time but this was a new one for me.  The dew point was 82.  Crazy Business, I tell ya.

And the flooding, the water is actually starting to go down.  but it is still crazy.  Even though I knew they were there it was weird to see the sandbags along the highway.  And there were pumps everywhere to attempt to keep the water under control.

I feel like this post is all over the place and I didn't really update on the flooding. And I forgot my camera so I couldn't take any pictures.  Boo.  But yeah, it was really hot and EXTREMELY humid and my poor poor Max.  I had to give him a cold water bath when we got home because he was so hot.  Ok guys, random post over.  Sorry about all the ands in this last paragraph.  My brain is seriously mush right now.
