Friday Again.

Well, my week has gone fast. Surprising because Austin is in Slovakia. I dropped him at the airport on Monday and made my way to mom's. I took the long way and stopped at Grandma's first. It isn't very often that we get to see her without all 29 other people being there. We had a nice time. Mason was his usual cute self. Pulled her phone off the counter and played with the broom. Just wonderful. We also stopped at Menards and saw Aunt Cammie at work. She just couldn't wait to show him off. Finally about 3:30 we made it to mom's. A whole 8 hours after we left home. Amazingly Mason went to bed at his normal time. I however didn't and Mason got up at his normal time on Tuesday which made for a long day for me.
Tuesday we went to the Great Grandparents for lunch and play time. We got there after morning nap about 10:30 and left about 2. Mason was cute and wonderful. Ate grandma's mashed potatoes like they were candy. After there we went to pick up Cammie's little boys, Daniel and Isaac, at the babysitters. I took them to mom's with me and they didn't behave like always. They are the worst behaving little heathens ever. Cameron came and rescued me about 3:30. I made my way upstairs to the bathroom and locked the door so I could take a nice long soak. After all those years she took advantage of me by doing the exact same thing I didn't feel too bad.
Wednesday we lounged around mom's in the morning with Cammie and Isaac. About 2 we went to the Great-Grandparents house. Mason however did not behave well. He was crying and fussy. He didn't want to go to Grandma and I could under no circumstances leave his sight. We left about 5:30 to go to Daniels soccer game. It was chilly and really windy so we didn't stay for the end of it. They don't keep score anyways so what is the point. We spent the rest of the evening with my mom and dad in quiet. Cameron and her boys didn't come down.
Thursday everybody worked so I came home. The wind was horrible on the way home and it was raining. That doesn't make for fun driving. There were some pretty bad storms across Iowa in the early evening. We lost power for a little bit. My little windmill by the drive way got destroyed in the wind and there are now things all over the yard. What do you know though the stupid corn crib is still standing. I am sure if the wind was blowing that hard in any other direction it would be a pile of ruins. As luck would have it the wind was coming straight from the east and that is the direction that it leans. So basically the wind was holding it up. You could hear the stupid thing popping and creaking clear in the house. Maybe one of these days we will get lucky and the thing will just fall over. Probably not though.
So that is how my week has gone. Hopefully tonight and this weekend will go better. I am more than ready for a good nights sleep. Austin has called everyday which has helped my anxiety issues. I worry about him when he is traveling out of the country. When he called a little bit ago though he was back in Vienna getting ready for bed which for some reason put me at ease. Tomorrow he is going to be site seeing in Vienna and is really excited about it. I told him to get me something. He asked if he should get Mason something also and I told him not if it makes him get me something not as nice as if he didn't get Mason anything. So we will see. Afterall it isn't like Mason is even going to know. I know I need to mark that down as another good mommy moment.
Weather permitting Mason and I are going to the VEISHA parade tomorrow with G-pa Jeff and G-ma Robin. I know he won't know what is going on this year but we should have fun anyways.
