Peace and Quiet

Austin went back to work yesterday. I was so happy to see him go.
I guess it is kinda like at the end of summer vacation and you get excited for the kids to go back to school.
Yep! Just like that.
He was driving me nuts.
I couldn't stand it any longer.
He always has to be doing something.
I swear he cannot sit still.
I even let him buy 2 video games to keep him out of my hair. The only bad thing with the video games is that while he is playing them he won't answer any of my questions. You know the 'good wife' ones.
'what do you want for lunch'
'will you watch Mason while I run to town'
'how about you bring the dinner dishes in from the living room'
'what do you want for dinner'
'when was the last time the dog was out'
'why is Mason crying on the dining room table'
'why is he crying'
'why is he on the table'
'can we watch something else'
'did you know that it is time for bed'
You know just the run of the mill questions.

It was icy all weekend so his car was all icy and he couldn't get into it. He tried the black car and it wouldn't open either so he tried the truck. Jackpot! It opened but do you think it would start. Nope! So finally he comes back in the house and he quietly comes up the stairs and starts looking for my car keys.
Mind you I am laying there awake so that as soon as I hear him leave the driveway I can get up and do my happy dance. I scared the crap out of him by asking 'What are you looking for?' I swear he jumped 10 feet in the air. I got a good chuckle out of it.
So he ended up driving my car to work thus stranding me at home.
I had plans yesterday to go to the store and post office and get caught up on my errands. I know you thinking so why don't I just do that today. Well quite simply because I don't want to.
I just don't feel like getting out of the house before I have to. I have a MOPS steer team meeting tonight and I don't like to leave the house more than once a day so I won't be leaving here until 5:15 and by then most of the things I had to go do are going to be closed. I know I could leave earlier but then I would be way early for my meeting and I don't feel like sitting there waiting for everyone to show up.
I have decided I will just complain about it.
Makes me happy what can I say. We'll just consider a late Christmas present to myself.

It did feel good though to have him gone yesterday so that we can get back on schedule. Somehow Mason got horribly off schedule. Then Austin decided it was time to try the big boy bed. I know I wasn't ready for the big boy bed and as it turns out neither was Mason. He likes the security of the crib and that is fine with me. We will be trying naps in the bed first and hopefully by, I don't know, June maybe he will be ready to do all night in the big bed. So far I think he has slept a total of 30 minutes in the big bed. I am not pushing it though because I don't want him to be afraid of it or his room. Right now he is happy to be in there with the light off and doesn't need a radio or night light to sleep and I don't want to mess that up.
Well that is all for today I have to get my MOPS stuff around and get him in the bath before I can put him down for a nap because he decided to smoosh peaches and banana in his hair and down his shirt. Yay for me!!
