My husband makes fun of me because I always blog that we had nothing exciting that went on during the weekend. Which is true. But this has to top the list of boring things that can happen on a weekend!
Friday was Ramy's day off, but we went our separate ways most of the day. Friday morning, Rebecca and I got up and went to her music class. Then we went to her trial class at Gymboree, and she loved it. It took her awhile to warm up, but then she had a blast. So we signed up. It is expensive, but actually less so than her music class when you consider all the free play times she can go and the fact that if you miss a class (for sickness, vacation, whatever), you can make it up another week. So I signed her up for 22 weeks (to get a better price). Then we stopped by Trader Joes and Rebecca fell asleep on ride home, then immediately woke up when we got in the house. Ramy still wasn't home - A high school classmate of his died last week, so Ramy went to his funeral on Friday morning. So I decided to get our money's worth, I'd take Rebecca back to Gymboree for free play time in the afternoon. The poor kid was so exhausted, she was falling asleep while playing, but she was having so much fun she didn't want to leave.
Now the exciting part. What did we do Friday night? A guy from Ramy's Knights of Columbus council came over to tell us about the insurance options we have by virtue of Ramy's being a Knight. I didn't know it, but the Knights of Columbus is the largest insurance organization in the world. Anyway, we were interested in having him tell us about their long term care insurance. Essentially, he is a financial planner who uses his talents as his own ministry, which is kind of interesting. They'll basically take your financial data, tell you how you're doing, and give you advice. And they'll talk to you about their life insurance and stuff, but luckily, no hard sell. So basically we learned that I'm worth way more alive than dead and that we need to insure my life (of course, we all know that I'm actually priceless). And we got the info we wanted on long-term care insurance and have decided that it is something we should go ahead and do, since it is relatively inexpensive now and will go up in the future. So that guy was here for about two hours, and then I cooked dinner at home, and we went to bed early.
Saturday, we got up pretty early, so Ramy could pull weeds in our backyard. I cooked breakfast, and then we took a family nap until about noon. Ramy and Rebecca vacuumed (see picture), and then we hung out at Costco and got some cheap pizza. For dinner, we used coupons to go to Chilis for free bacon cheeseburgers, and then we all hung out at home. This morning, we got up early and went to mass, came home, I made breakfast, and then we took another family nap. This afternoon, Ramy took Rebecca to see his dad, while I went to the grocery store. I baked a pineapple upside down cake in a cast iron skillet and then I made barbecue chicken pizza for dinner. That's it.
Tomorrow is Caesar Chavez Day, so Ramy's court is dark, even though he has to go to work. I have a meeting at LLU tomorrow afternoon, so Rebecca will be accompanying me to that and then we'll stop by Gymboree for free play time on the way home.
