Honey was gone for most of the week. He doesn't travel much thank heavens. I'm kind of out of sorts when he does. I lose all sense of time and stay up way too late. I can't even begin to put a meal together. It's just off. Does that make sense?
Fergie has a routine at bedtime. She goes limp and acts dead...hoping with all that's in her that we won't make her go sleep in her crate. Isn't that mean? She's crated! We've just always done it that way. Well this week while Honey was gone I decided to try and have her sleep with me. I mean look at that face...how can you say no:) I should have though. It didn't go well. She woke me up in the middle of the night and I had to put her up anyway. But we gave it a shot.
Friday night we all hunkered in. I had the girls help me whip up some waffles and scrambled eggs for dinner and then we cuddled on the couch and watched a movie.
We popped in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Remember that movie?? Oh my goodness. It's so dumb. But I found myself laughing out loud. This grown man, weird grown man...acting like an immature kid. It's just too funny. Remember..."I know you are, but what am I?" and his creepy laugh. I had to kind of explain it to the girls. They were like mom...he's so weird.
I'm like ummm...I know, but it's really funny.
(painting I got done this week for Alicia)
I'm going to continue the hunkering in theme for this week. I have a lot of stuff I'm working on. Trying to restock my Etsy store for Christmas...praying for some wonderful creativity to flow all over me. It should be fun, but challenging. I have a way of getting distracted. I think I have adult ADHD;)
Have a blessed day.
Ooooh, I love that painting you finished. Sorry your honey out of town.
ReplyDeleteMy Honey works late and gets home around 10pm or so-nearly every night. I feel directionless....I sympathize.
ReplyDeleteYour doggies is sooooooo cute! I'm sorry it didn't work out but looks like you had a great time with the chicks. Waffles and eggs....mmmmm. I'd like some of that right now.
I adore the painting you did, it's great! Good luck with creative flow....and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Hoping you get lots done! We have a new chocolate lab puppy and crate her when we are at work and at night. We have been told that if we don't she will chew everything in sight.
ReplyDeleteYou are just too cute Becky!!
ReplyDeleteAlways love reading your posts....
cute puppy!
And it sounds like a cozy week while your hunnys away...
and cuddling...cuddlings always good!
And nothing like a silly movie to make you giggle! And he IS silly!! :)
Deborah xoxo
Hope you enjoy your hunkered in weekend. Sometimes we all need a good stay at home and do nothing weekend.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! We tried to show it to the kids recently ~ they totally did not get it either! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI do the EXACT same thing whenever David is away...it's like the house just isn't 'settled' if he's not there.
ReplyDeleteOur pup is quite the pampered princess 'round our parts and while she doesn't always sleep on the bed, she always manages to find a cozy spot in our room somewhere. :)
Oh my gosh Becky, that picture of your dog is so cute...I just want to snuggle her up. Sorry to hear your week was a little off, sounds like you had a nice time with your sweet girls though :)
ReplyDeleteI hate it when the Man has to leave town, it's so sad. Mine did a lot of that the first few years of our marriage. Thankfully I could go with him a lot, but not always. I'm so thankful he's had local work the past few years. I cherish it though, because you never know...
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new painting. It's beautiful. Praying you have some good artsy vibes flowing soon. :)
You're not mean.
ReplyDeleteWe have to lock our cat up in her very own bedroom at bedtime, because she turns into a wild eyed banshee at night.
Don't tell anybody, but I used to do the BEST Pee Wee Herman laugh!
I'm in the same mode, trying to get lots done before the holidays sneak up on me. Good luck sweetie!
ReplyDeletePee Wee, really??? He freaked me out as a kid and it's worse now that I'm an adult. Have you watched any of the Mr. Bean movies? Now he's funny! Your kids would love him!
ReplyDeletesounds like a great girl's night to me. Only I would've picked a different movie. :)
ReplyDeleteget your stuff done this week! :)
oh, becky...super pumped for my painting!!! you totally nailed it! best gift i've ever given...pretty sure :)
ReplyDeletesorry you're feeling 'off' without your hubby...absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?? :)
thanks again, hon!!
Hi Becky, I totally get what you are saying when the husband is away! My husband is active duty Army and has done two tours in Iraq. First one he was gone 14 months, second one 12 months. I got into such a funk both times. Let my kids watch tv while we ate dinner( and I never do that), couldn't wait to crawl back into bed each night, did a alot of retail therapy!! Never want to do the single parent thing again, it's tough!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, by the way. I'm a follower but this is my first time commenting. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
Oh Pee-Wee scares me;) My hubby travels frequently for work and I miss him terribly when he's away...but the upside is, the girls & I get lots of "girl-time"...we've gotten pretty good at "hunkering in"!! P.S. One of my favorite things for dinner is breakfast:)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I Pee Wee Herman gives me the creeps! I did watch the movie though movie, it was like a train wreck and I couldn't look away! :) I am glad that you had a great time with the girls! We all need to hunker down and enjoy the things we have at hand!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend! I will be joining you (at least in spirit) I have a craft show coming up next month and I am desperately trying to get the juices flowing!! Good luck to you and I love your new painting!!!
i LOVE your art. we need to do a swap sometime. xo
ReplyDeleteI adore you. Pee Wee... you did a post with Pee Wee? Oh my word. I'm headed to your house right now so I can save you. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love your painting, is that fabric, paper or paint for the grass? I like the colors. Your dog is adorable and the photo of your little chick is precious...love her freckles.
ReplyDeleteall I remember is LARGE MARGE!!!!!!!!!!1 yikes!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to being "off" when the hubby is out of town. Mine just started traveling again after being home most of the time for several years. When he is here, he's my signal when it's bedtime - when he's gone, I get so engrossed in my puttering that I don't even look up until 3AM! On the upside - hopefully you can get lots of work done. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your latest painting - so cute!
Those are two of the cutest faces I have ever seen in my life (and I don't mean PeeWee!
ReplyDeleteSuz
There is NO way
ReplyDeleteI'd be able to
turn that sweet
pup away...!!!
I know what you
mean about "off
weeks..." Had one
myself, last week!
Did get my inspired-
by-Becky door done,
though and I love it!
Have a great week!
xx Suzanne
PS: Love the song!
I just chose one of
Ingrid's for my post
tomorrow : )
Those are the best times...breakfast for dinner and a super silly movie. So fun...Love that you love your girlies!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha, I remember that movie! It's so weird and so bad that you can't help laughing at it. The second one was even worse.
ReplyDeleteHow fun having an all girls weekend!
I hate it when my husband is gone, too...I could tell the same story. Late, late nights and strange meals (although your breakfast for dinner sounds great. That's what we had tonight, and he was home!).
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I saw PeeWee's Big Adventure. Yes, what a weird man. I totally loved that show when I was young, though. And when I saw the movie (many times, oh dear) I never watched the part with Large Marge. My friends convinced me it was soooo scary. Then when I finally saw it I was like,"That's what I have been not watching?!" It became a huge joke between us all. :) Thanks for the memory.
Glad your sweet family is together again! And I think hunkering down sounds just perfect as the weather begins to turn (although it was about 87 here yesterday...Dallas, you never know.).
What a wonderful post Becky.It sounds as though you and the girls had a nice time despite the fact that your husband was out of town for a bit. I laughed right out loud after reading about your watching Pee Wee Herman. I do remember watching that movie and I do remember laughing hard. I love what I call stupid humor. And that is what Pee Wee was to me. I will have to watch it again. :)
ReplyDeleteMary
Bless your heart, I totally get in a funk when my hub is gone too. Love Ferg - she's so cute!
ReplyDeletePoor poor Fergie. ;)
ReplyDeleteHunkering sounds so right. Wish I could hunker!
I hope the time flys by...your Honey will be home soon!!
ReplyDeleteI love that phrase..'hunkering in'...so cosy!! Atleast you have your girls and the pup to keep you company : )
All the best,
Gemma x
Oh i love hunkering down like that, My hubby is on travel tihs week too and i've got my list to complete while he's way. Fergie's so cute her face is adorable!!!
ReplyDeletexo,
LuLu
I hate it when HH leaves too. But, it is always fun to have breakfast for dinner.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I have that same quilt (in the Fergie picture)! It was in our guest bedroom, but now that we moved and downsized from a king to a queen, it's in our master bedroom. I love it.
ReplyDeleteyou are such an awesome mama becky. seriously.
ReplyDeletebreakfast for dinner rocks.
the painting is wonderful.
good luck on the stocking up!!!
Pee Wee Herman is so weird?! But I laugh everytime I watch it. I'm always off when B is gone
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way when the hubby is gone. Up way too late...not sure why or what I am doing, I don't have a clue what to make for dinner and I just want to stay at home!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the shop...I should be doing the same, but I am in a major funk with it.
Jury Duty is almost over...hopefully I will be done by the weekend!
Kind of embarrassing to admit, but "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" is probably my favorite movie (for the sheer reason that it's over-the-top silly, easy to watch, and well, there's Pee-Wee). Certainly not for any intellectual value.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for your comment on my blog. Hearing from you is like hearing from a rockstar. I love your work! :)
