Monday ... a good, no great weekend, and St. Paddy's Day recap

whoo. that's a long title, eh?

it's monday here, monday night. hanging out, kids sweetly sleeping ... chillin' watching to 'tube with hubby. mindless wonder 'tube. deal or no deal. love it. great day, all day. smooth meeting with an account. got to the gym, after school art activity with the squirts, friends over for some fun in the snow - well, snow ball tossing and rolling in the white stuff, anyway - and then a yummy dinner with the family. no chaos, no strife. no angst.

nice.

had a super weekend. little dude won the first two playoff games. couple of assists, a goal, and a really uplifted spirit - the whole team's - after a few challenging games just prior to the two. that feels good. little gal had a great gymnastics day on saturday - roundoff backhandspring is 'coming together' according to the coach. she was beaming!

then, we had a date.

yum.

the squirts were beside themselves with glee that they got to stay overnight at mimi and poppi's for the night so sean and i could have a st patty's day celebration. yahoo! great night, great friends, and great memories!

we hit a favorite irish pub, saw several folks, lifted a few, ahem, pints and enjoyed the atmosphere. then we ventured to another venue where good friends of ours were planted, with several hundred people, and raised a few more pints ... and capped off the night with a final visit to yet another irish pub - yes, a full evening. through it all, loads of laughter, and some really great moments that are engrained in our memories. love this day each year ....

spent the day yesterday recollecting the good times, and laughter. even now, sitting next to me, he's laughing about some moments.

good stuff.

so, another week has begun, it'll be a busy one. but when you start from the gate with a simply hysterical weekend, how hard will it be?

enjoy ......
