Weekend Update

So we ended up not going to the crawfish festival on Friday due to all the rain. It turned out to be a good thing because it made me available to be with my grandmother. My grandfather was in massive amounts of pain, due to some sort of nerve damage in his cheek. He has been in out of the ER all last week and has been on hydrocodone and methadone. Over the weekend my mom took him back to the emergency on Saturday, where he was admitted and has been there every since. They were supposed to do his surgery this morning, but I haven't heard anything yet. I was pretty upset about not getting my corn and potatoes...I have been craving it for a week now! JR promised we could find a place on Saturday.
Saturday comes around and we were soooooo lazy. Finally, after making me wait all day (not really, I was sleeping) we decided to get in the car and head up to Clear Lake for the crawfish for JR and the corn and potatoes for me. The problem was it had been raining ALL DAY long. So when we finally got to our exit...we couldn't get off because the feeder road was flooded. So we decided to go up to the next exit and try to turn around. Guess what, after turning around the exit we needed was also flooded, and there were cars that were headed straight for us on a one way street, because everyone that exited was turning around to avoid being flooded. We turned off into a parking lot, to try to get out of the hell we were in. It was the ONLY way out of the mess, so there were about a thousand people all trying to go the same way! Oh, it was so much fun. We had now been on the road for about an hour at this point....I seriously just wanted some corn and potatoes! After waiting for forever, and being incredibly stressed out, we finally made it back to the freeway. We decided that going north didn't work, so we decided to go south. We made it down to Galveston and ended up going to The Spot....lots of people like this place....I have never had a good experience with the food! I didn't want to go there, but after 2 hours of driving I also didn't want to argue. We got inside to find out that 2 pounds of crawfish was 15.00 they were selling crawfish at 7.50 a pound....ARE YOU KIDDING ME. No one gets full off 2 lbs of crawfish....especially not JR. So, he ended up with a burger...I got a burger and ordered a side of corn and potatoes. I was so excited to finally have my corn and potatoes.....and then I took my first bite. UGHHHHHHHHHHH....it was not very good...it wasn't nasty, but it wasn't good at all. I was so dissapointed. So now I still crave the corn and potatoes and we had to endure an evening of HELL for absolutely nothing.
Sunday, JR and I did absolutely NOTHING. We literally laid around the house all day long. We didn't get any cleaning done. We didn't go to the store like we were supposed to....We did nothing! Well, that's not true...we did finally get around to transforming Logan's crib into a day bed. We also moved it into our room temporarily. This may not have been the wisest decision, but I am scared that he wont go to bed like he is supposed to. The first thing he did was jump up and down on his new bed, and I can just imagine him doing that all night long. So we moved the bed into our room in order to monitor him. He did very well last night, and if he continues to do well, we will move the crib back to his room in a few days. Hopefully, it will all work out.
That was my weekend in a nutshell. So, until next time!

What happened to Booz and Tyra's wedding? Weren't you guys supposed to go to that?

That's too bad about the Spot. I've never had their crawfish, but I'd heard it was good.

This weekend sounded CRAPPY. How was the flooding around our houses?
