A Productive Saturday...

Saturday i had the day off and thought to myself.... "I'm going to be very productive today! Bill's at work which leaves me to do whatever i want with no cares in the world." If only things would turn out the way you plan.

My Saturday started off great. Got up at a decent hour balanced the checkbook, finished all the laundry (i mean wash, dry, fold AND put away.) Along with the laundry i got the kitchen cleaned yah! Those are my two main jobs in the Hughes household. After working so hard i realized i deserved a break and since my back had been killing me the last couple of nights i ran the idea of getting a massage by Bill and he said GO FOR IT!

Well you didn't have to tell me twice i hung up with bill and immediately called the Spa and book an appointment within the hour. Let me tell you it was nice, could of handled a little more pressure but over all the knots were worked out and i was feeling GREAT. So now that all the house work was done and my back feeling better i hurried off to target to pick up something and then i was headed to the market. If anyone knows Bill and I, you know that he does ALL the cooking. I was feeling so productive and wanted to do something very nice and special for him. So i had a dinner and evening all planned out for when my hard working husband got home.

This is were my oh so productive day took a turn for the worse. So I'm over at target getting cleaning supplies, toilet paper, halloween candy, you know just stuff we need and i check out and head to the car, mind you I'm in my gym clothes i wore to the spa and still have all the oils and lotions all over my body. To my surprise when i try to start the car it DOESN'T start. Yep here i am running around excited with the perfect evening planned out and I'm stuck in the target parking lot trying to get a hold of my husband who is not answering my calls. Now i know he's at work but come on, you think if the wife calls you a couple of times in a 10min period it's probably important.

So giving up on Bill thinking to myself "he'd better be arresting some bad guy or else!" I call my dad and he and my mom are at the other target just leaving. He tells me to hang tight (like i can go anywhere) and he'll drop off my mom at home get the jumper cables and be right over. I guess it didn't really take him that long but if FELT like hours! My dad shows up and we open the hood of my car and the sight we see isn't promising. My battery is totally corroded so Dad and i had to clean it off and after a couple of tries we got my car started! So off we went back to my parents to put my battery on a charger.

Thankfully i have wonderful parents. A dad who helps me out when I'm stranded and a mom who takes her daughter to the market so she can still make a special dinner for that hard working husband. So my mom, brother nick, and i head to the market. We pick up all the ingredients and head over to my house to start the dinner. I made Pot Roast with carrots potatoes and onions, and a healthy salad. My mom and brother both help me get it all peeled and in the roasting pan so that i would be cooked and ready in the 3 hours that Bill would be coming home.

After what started as a productive day then turned into a small nightmare, Bill got home and i greeted him at the door wearing a nice "dressy" outfit with dinner on a candle lit table and a quiet evening staying in together just to enjoy each others company. Over all a day that started Perfectly ended Perfectly.
