I just walked in, and boy are my legs tired.

So.

It tends to be that the weekends that I have nothing planned are my busiest. And I love busy weekends but seriously, I’m a little sore from this weekend.

Friday night I got to go out with a friend, and we picked a shmancy sushi place where I had the best soup I’ve had it a very long time. It was a chowder, technically, but not heavy and potato-y like most chowders. Had a kick and crab and corn and shitake mushrooms … it was delightful. They also did some sort of lemon zest on the edamame which was fantastic – I wanted to suck on every pod (That’ll make for interesting google searches). The sushi, also, was delicious – not traditional, mostly trendy (one had lemon on top!), but very fresh and tasty.

Saturday was Disney day. Spencer was finally tall enough to ride Space Mountain last weekend (thanks in part to new shoes) and was itching to ride Everest. This is our favorite Disney coaster so we were happy to take him. So? He was too scared to ride it again. S is a bit tentative (code word for scaredy pants) for indoor … things. So the Yeti inside freaked him the F out even though he KNEW it wasn’t real. Alas, we moved on. Drew Brees was also at Animal Kingdom and C snapped a couple pictures hopefully without bothering the guy. I bet he enjoyed Everest. We spent a few hours at Animal Kingdom and then headed over to Epcot where we stayed until the laser light show which we never do. Pretty neat!

One thing I want to mention because I was SO impressed: At the end of the day when we were waiting for the light show we decided to get drinks and some candy for the kids. I got a glass of wine in Germany and then went over to the shop for gummy bears for Spencer. When I was paying for the gummies, Spencer knocked over my entire glass of wine. It was totally his fault, and we made a mess (thankfully not on any merchandise or on us) but while I was paying for those gummies they second person working wrote me a note to take back to the wine shop to get a new glass of wine. It was so above and beyond – I was going to go back for another glass but I had fully planned on paying for it; my kid, our fault. For them to give me a new one – color me impressed. Sincerely.

Also, I walked more than 25,000 steps on Saturday. Holy crap.

Oh! And I thought of another very positive experience for Saturday! Spencer and C stood in line (60 minutes) for Soarin’, and Henry and I went wandering. On the Mexico ride I thought everything smelled like a fart. Turns out, it was Henry. C had taken the backpack with him so I was without any diapers or wipes or anything. I was very close to buying the $1.50 “diaper changing pack” from the tampon dispencer but I didn’t know if it would be the right size or what it would have in it. Very nice mothers in the bathroom came to my aid with an extra diaper and one very absorbent wipe so I could go about my not-smelling-like-a-fart life. Thank you, Epcot moms.

Sunday I didn’t get out of my nightgown until 2pm, and at that time it was just to take a shower and put on different pjs. I did, however, clean and run six loads of laundry and fold it all. I dealt with rainy day tantrums and hysterical “you left me in quiet time to long”s and SCRUBBED MY BATHROOM GROUT.

A word about grout. A couple. I have never cleaned grout. I honestly was under the impression that you tiled and grouted, and then your grout eventually changed color and that was that. But all the twitter is talking about cleaning grout and the best things to use (SoftScrub and a grout brush, apparently) so I tried it. The whole time I was on my painful hands and knees scrubbing that damn grout I was thinking “this isn’t worth it, this isn’t worth it”. Turns out, it’s worth it.

Damn you, twitter. Next up: my kitchen. Maybe I’ll do it on my birthday.
