The View from The Johnsons: What did you do after your Apocalypse plans fell through?

What did you do after your Apocalypse plans fell through?

So. The apocalypse was lame. In the absence of meeting the Lord, we had to filled our weekend with other activities.

Shawn went camping (like in a tent with a cot!) with a bunch of dads and about 35 kids. I'm sorry. Shall I repeat that for you? THIRTY-FIVE kids.

Elizabeth and I got our toenails done, went to the kids' museum, and ate dinner on the couch while we watched a movie. We win.

The boys came home from camping on Sunday and Spencer was covered in... wait for it... camouflage face paint. I'm sorry. Did you go camping or all lord-of-the-flies?!

Spence and Shawn took three hour naps. (Imagine! They didn't sleep well in the wilderness? That's surprising.) And then we went to a baseball game with Shawn's parents.

The game was fun, but we sat in the sun and the kids got to bed two hours past their normal bedtime.

Needless to say, my children are worn smooth out. I was really counting on them getting to catch up on their rest after Armageddon. But, I guess I'm going to have to come up with a new game plan.

So, what did you do after your Apocalypse plans fell through?

Asked for my job back... :) Can you believe the reports that people were actually quitting their job?! Anyways, you girls win big time. Aren't there times, just like this one, when you think "Man, I am lucky to be a lady and not some man camping in the woods". So glad ya'll had a nice, pampering, non-apocalyptic weekend!

I think the people who lost their jobs due to apocalypse failure are probably a little too dumb to be holding a job in the first place. I'm just sayin'.

and, yeah. "I'm so lucky I'm a girl," is pretty much a standard thought in my head. :)

We were at a wedding out of town. I just felt bad leaving the dogs to deal with the apocalypse without me. Oh, and for the bride who may have missed her own wedding due to the rapture. That would suck.

I wouldn't worry about the dogs. I'm pretty sure they'll go to heaven long before the rest of us. but, the bride. that was a close one! it would be pretty hard to suck worse than having your wedding canceled due to apocalypse.

Oh, yeah, baby! You two soooooo won! You know my position on camping, so I won't belabor the point about not getting that close to nature and things that can kill you quietly while you sleep, I'm talking about YOU, snakes!

Hmmm, what did I do? I ate a whole pie by myself on Sunday and napped for two delicious hours after. In my defense, the pie was small, about the circumference of a DVD, and maybe 3 inches high. What? You don't think that's small? Well who are you to tell me that I eat like a cow? How dare you?! I'm never coming back here if you're going to treat me so rudely. Geesh.

you make me laugh and laugh!

who said I was judging you? did I say I was judging you? I didn't say that! I mean, you had just cheated RAPTURE for goodness sake. if that doesn't deserve a celebratory pie, i don't know what does.

yeah. and, snakes. those bastards. and coyotes. they're bastards, too.
