Monday, November 19, 2007

The weekend was good in parts and not so good in parts.

I didn't have my usual childcare on Friday (although I know I could have taken him to Liz), so I decided to work at home some and do my typical routine with Evan. I did alter it a bit, though, by taking him to have his pictures made and taking him to my office to show him off. (Normally what I do is work, go pick up Pat's check, go to the bank and then maybe the store before I get Evan.) It made for a long day and Evan didn't get much of a nap (maybe 45 minutes in the car), so he fell asleep at home at about 5:30. He slept pretty much from then until about 7:15 a.m. Saturday morning.

On Saturday, Pat went to work and Evan decided he needed to go swing (which is something that he talks about almost every day since he can see the new play/swingset thing the neighbors two houses down built). So we did some things around the house (he likes to help with laundry and loading and unloading the dishwasher, sweeping - although that is sometimes messy - all the big kid stuff), then we loaded up and went to the park in Summit Lakes. That didn't last long, though. I think he was bored. And there were MILLIONS of little black flying things around. Cobwebs, too. UGH. After that we went to Lowe's and got stuff to fix our fence so the maniac doesn't get loose. We helped (ha ha) Mikel fix the fence (Evan was so cute banging on the fence with his little sand rake) and then went to Wal-Mart. That's where things got not-so-good, but we'll just leave that out. I'll just say that Mikel and I got into it at Wal-Mart and things went downhill really quickly...kind of like watching the winter Olympics...Add the OU loss to that and the end of the day was pretty much a disaster.

Oh...and then Evan didn't really sleep ALL NIGHT, which, in turn, caused me to not sleep. It was terrible!

Sunday was much better. We went to church (Evan LOVES Journey Kids), then to Sam's (where I got both diapers and Christmas gift ideas). Evan fell asleep on the way home and slept for FOUR hours. We went to Nora's birthday party after that and then home again. Pretty uneventful, really. Nice, but uneventful.

I think you can pretty much tell what I did all weekend. I know I must have lost some weight. All that work and only one meal each day. See ya around!

Wow...that Wal-Mart thing sounds FUN!
