Weekends

It was a good weekend. And I am happy that this is a short week. That makes me smile. The weekend is almost here again.

There has been so much going on, I don't know what to talk about. There have been so many thoughts that I say..."hey, that would be a good topic to talk about"...but then never get around to blogging about it. So, this might be all over the place.

We had a good Memorial day weekend. DH was able to leave work early on Saturday (about 2pm) and then he had both Sunday and Monday off with me. That was nice to have him around. Unfortunately, he had a different idea of what he wanted to do for the weekend than I did. I really wanted to get some gardening done...he wanted to cut the bushes. And I told him that we really needed to get some general maintenance done on our yard (which would take most of the weekend) and that the bushes would have to wait because that would take an entire weekend in itself. And we couldn't do both. So, he took that as then he had the weekend to do nothing...since he couldn't trim the bushes. Um, I could use some help with the yard. Pulling weeds, putting down mulch, getting the patio set up. He got a bit fussy and so I told him then that he could watch Jos and I would plant flowers and do the gardening stuff. That worked. And I got some stuff done.

Jos, however was a pill all weekend. Just plain cranky, didn't want to nap or sleep much and was just cranky about everything. We think it is because she isn't sleeping well at night again. Since she sleeps on her tummy (like child's pose in yoga), and since she can sit up and stand up on her own, she will sit up in her sleep and then wake up and be scared because she didn't know how she got there. So then she will cry until we go in, put the bink back in her mouth, and lay her back down. Well, she is doing that a few times a night, plus being up at 5am. So, I am exhausted, so I bring her in with us at 5am and sleep for another hour or so. Needless to say, the P's are pretty cranky overall with how little sleep they have been getting. Luckily, last night she slept through the night, and even slept in until 7am. That was a nice break...but has me craving more sleep still.

Monday was good too, we went to a pancake breakfast with my mom and then Jos had her first parade. I think she liked it...course, she loves people watching...so that could be it too. I will post some pictures, it was fun.

This Saturday, I am going up to a Spa with some girls for a bachelorette get together for a girlfriend of mine. I am just getting a pedicure and will have some hotub/sauna time. I was going to opt for a massage, but they are like $160. Uh, no thanks. A pedicure for $75 will have to do. But I think it will be fun no matter what. I have not seen this girlfriend of mine since I was 8 months pregnant. She got engaged in January and is getting married in a couple of weeks. That is about how much time we planned our wedding in. And I would do it again in a second...I like short engagements. So, I am looking forward to all the details of the engagement and planning and future...it will be fun.

Here are some pics just to post...
