Not getting as much done as i wanted today. Sleeping in will do that to ya!
So far……..we have gone garage saling this morning, made lunch and ran some errands.
Tommy is finally down for his nap so I am off and running……..to complete this list!
Well I did sleep in this morning, though I woke up a number of times. I first woke up at 4:30, got up had a glass of milk, then I woke up at 7:00, finally I got up for the day at 9:00. So I slept in, but not that great of a night of sleep.
Hubby and baby are still sleeping so hopefully I can shower and get ready for my day before Tommy is up. I think this morning we will head to the grocery store. Festival had a couple of sale items I wanted to pick up and the sale end today.
Other than that….let see what is on the list for today…….
I almost forgot to tell you my terrible mom story from yesterday. I was devastated. I just got home from work and Tommy was very clinging so I was carrying him as I put things away. I had taken down the gate to the hallway since I was carrying stuff through and putting it away. So it is too hard to climb of the gate and carry Tommy and the stuff.
Molly our little cat had gotten outside so I ran outside to help hubby catch her. I came back into the house after about 2 minutes and I was met by Tommy at the top of the stairs gate, covered in blood. I was freaking, he had blood on both his hands, face our walls. I knew instantly what had happened. I hadn’t put the hall gate back up before I ran out and he cut his finger on the cold air return grate. He likes to play with that, so that is why the gate is in the hall so he can’t get to it. He cut his finger on it one other time as well. I wrestled with him trying to figure out where he cut himself and trying to get a Band-Aid on it. that was a job alright!
The weird part was when I had come in from outside, he wasn’t crying or anything, so it must not have hurt, but boy did it bleed! I felt just terrible!
AAAAH….my weekend is here!! I am so happy! I hope I am able to sleep in tomorrow. I haven’t been able to do that in a while. I just seem to wake up at my usual time no matter what. ARGH!
It was a pretty mellow evening. Erik is with us for visitation. He came over after school today. He is having a sleep over tonight and luckily it isn’t the kid that I had to take him in the middle of the night last time. LOL!! So I shouldn’t be bothered by them at all.
I just got home from picking Josh and his friend up from the football game. He is reading the info that came in the mail about driver’s education. In Minnesota you have to take driver’s ed to drive. ARGH!! The course costs $324.00. I made the condition with Josh that he has to save at least 1/2 of the money up and his grades need to be at least all c’s or above to be able to take the course next summer. He plans on getting a summer job so he should be able to save up the money for the course. We will see how the grades go, so far he is doing ok as far as I can’t tell.
I just laid Tommy down in his crib before coming into the computer room. He is chatting away in there still. I enjoy listing to his happy little noises. He enjoyed school today. We played with the babies and toys. He started getting crabby, but then it was singing time, which he loves. Plus they sang three of his favorite songs. The Hello and Name song, Itsy Bitsy Spider and If you happy and you know it.
I did a bit of my list………..
I will handle the other items tomorrow. I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend, if that is possible with all the boys here. Sunday we are going to the Free Sunday at the Children’s Museum. Tomorrow, the older boys are busy with chores. Erik is mowing the lawn and Josh is cleaning out the garage. I am sure they are excited about that.
I am off to bed to relax and read a bit. Later!
I had a lazy evening last night. I just didn’t feel like doing anything by the time I got home. Feels like my energy is just zapped. So I didn’t do much. I plan on paying my bills tonight. Today is actually payday, but I like to have it done the day before. OH well…..
This morning is Tommy’s first class at ECFE for this session. I am excited for him since he will love to see all his friends. He has a great time. He enjoys the toys and singing. He has the same teacher as last year.
My list is about the same for today…….maybe I will do it today!
I did exercise again last night. Actually I was all snug in bed and hubby came in and said, weren’t you going to exercise. GRRRRR….yes….Argh! SO I have only skipped one day so far.
Morning, I didn’t sleep that well last night. I woke up at 3:00am. I know it is because I am thinking about this meeting I have to have today and I need to be the heavy and really make people start listening to me. I hate that….so that is early this morning so I have to shower and get to work and review our meeting with another social worker who is doing this meeting with me. So today will be stressful, I already know that.
Last I didn’t do much, I really had my mind on this meeting. I surfed around on E-bay looking for a Halloween costume to wear with Tommy. Tommy is going to be a Cowboy. Believe it or not my hubby and I usually dress up for Halloween as well, but usually very scary. But I don’t want to scare Tom, so I am looking for a nice cowgirl or Indian costume. Usually we have a haunted garage with a smoke machine, strobe lights and scary music coming from our roof of the house. But we are going to be much mellower of the next few years.
Families First was ok last night, we introduced ourselves to the new members and went to the 9/11 memorial service at our church. Joshua went to confirmation. When I got home from work hubby had today Josh about his dog. I walked in the door and he hugged me and just sobbed. I felt so bad for him. He cried off and on all evening.
Confession – I didn’t exercise last night, I just went to bed. Argh…bad, Jen!
This must be the longest day in the year. Today seems to be dragging at work. I finally ate lunch at like 2:00 and it seemed like it must be the end of the day. ARGH…no such luck.
I forgot to mention yesterday I got a big package in the mail from Enfamil. We join their 1st b-day program and when you send in so many points you receive toys for your child’s first b-day. So now I have Tommy’s shopping for his b-day all done. He received a Ready Steady Ride On and Activity Table. So that is pretty cool. since we would have had to buy formula anyways. And of course we aren’t done buying formula yet.
Well time to get back to my never ending day.,,,,,…….
Morning……..man I must have slept really hard last night. I woke up this morning in the same position I fell asleep in and my body was sore. ARGH!! I normally move around in my sleep alot. Drives hubby nuts.
I am up early this morning so I can do a couple of chores before I head to work. I will clean out the fridge and add up my checkbook. Then I am out of here and off to conquer a mountain on paperwork on my desk. ARGH!!
Tonight when I get home I have to tell my son, Josh, that his dog died. He will be so sad. His dog has lived with my parents for a number of years since we couldn’t have him in the new placed we moved to in my first marriage. I have the hardest time tell Josh bad news. He is so very sensitive and I it breaks my heart to see him hurt at all. I wish I could protect him for sadness for his entire life. But that isn’t realistic, so I will tell him and cry with him. I remember my dog when I was a child dyeing about the same time in my life. I had gotten my dog for xmas. Josh’s dog, Simpson was 12 years old. Josh was 2 years old when we got him Simpson.
Tommy with his new bike helmet………that smile just warms my heart!
ALmost 1/2 way through this week. Wednesdays are always nice since I know I won’t be working late as we have Families First at church. I hope we have more people that attend this Wednesday.
Tomorrow I am hoping to get a lot of paperwork done at work. Most people will be gone to a funeral, but I am the on-call social worker so I will be at the office. I have to clean up my cube a bit as this weekend is the public tour of our building so the taxpayers and view the building. So I have to remove some junk from my desk etc….
Well I did manage to get all the babyfood made tonight. I doubt I will have to make any food again as we have plenty and he is starting to eat more chunky food. I do have the avacadoes left to do though I guess. They were ripe enough tonight. Tommy is in bed so I guess it is time for me to head there too. I hope he doesn’t want snuggle time in the middle of the night again.
Morning………….
Tommy woke up at 6:00am this morning, not sure why. I went and got him and put in bed with me. He snuggled with me and then after about 15 minutes I put him back in his crib and he was fine and is still sleeping. But that was earlier than I wanted to get up! ARGH!!!
I might have to work late tonight I am not sure. I heard rumors my 4:30 meeting was cancelled. I sure hope it is. Not much exciting going on around here today. I need to get the stuff from the farmer’s market made for Tommy that is about it.
I was good last night and I even exercised. That is day one for this week. I was doing good for a few weeks then I fell off the wagon and didn’t want to get bak on. So I am adding exercise to my daily list…that should help. Later~!
