Life

Life in general has just gotten the better of me this week...

Everyday we have had something going on... I'm ready for a day that I don't have to do anything.

Easter was good. We drove down to Grandpa's on Friday after Austin got home from work. I was not awake very long. The night before I had stayed up all night. Totally unintentionally! I started working on a baby blanket after Mason went to bed and got in a good grove around 1. I looked at the clock at around 2 and thought to myself that I only had about 30 minutes of stuff left and that I would go to bed after that... That was the kiss of death!! The next time I looked at the clock it was 5:27.

At that point I knew better than to go to bed so I made some coffee instead.

I did awesome on not be grouchy or overly tired all day. Once we got in the truck and the heater was just barely blowing with the road noise and repetitive movements I was out like a light.

Saturday morning I got up early and went to Omaha with my mom and dad to go see my brother in law, Jesse, at hospital. Jesse was in the middle of his 6 days of double chemo. He had his stem cell transplant on Tuesday and is doing good. After that we went to Walmart... That was fun... We got home around 7 and I went over to rescue get Mason from his dad. We visited with my family for a while and then headed back over to grandpa's for bed.

Sunday we got up early and got our stuff around to leave. We were actually the first to arrive at my grandma's for Easter dinner. I was shocked because we are usually the last to arrive. We had a nice day with my family and after we had had all we could handle we headed home. I was excited we got home around 7:30. Well, we got to Boone around 7:30 anyways. As always a stop at the grocery store was in order before we could actually head home.

Monday was spent finishing up some shower gifts. Now I am just waiting on my washer to get here so that I can wash them before wrapping or bagging the gifts.

Tuesday was spent on the phone... I hate talking on the phone!! I have better things to do but when I call and cancel something aka the garbage service and they mess it up and I still get billed, it requires a call or two to a couple of supervisors... Good news though is that I got my bill expunged and they are sending me a check for my troubles!!

Wednesday I got my washer back and so that involved some cleaning. Some major cleaning where the washer/dryer stack... It is amazing how dirty that little area gets with just the washer/dryer scum. Compare able to where the fridge or stove sit in the kitchen. Although I am able to move the fridge and stove on a regular basis and clean underneath them. I think my OCD rears its head more in the kitchen though than the bathroom. Well except for the toilet... tub... shower... sink... floor... Okay so I might have OCD in both the bathroom and the kitchen... Anyways...

Today was spent catching up on laundry and this afternoon will be spent in Webster City watching three of the cutest little kids I know. I'm really hoping Mason doesn't come with any new bad habits...

Tomorrow is Friday and I'm not near ready for the weekend. I don't know where my week has gone. I didn't even stay up all night any night this week... Well so far anyways. I guess that is always an option for tonight.

I have gotten an order for another baby blanket/bib/burp clothe baby gift. My neighbors sewing machine is on the fritz and while I offered her the use of mine she says she likes how I do it better. The only bad thing is the shower she is going to is on Sunday. Today is Thursday. I should be able to get it done though if I can get 45 minutes to an hour of quite time. I already have the fabric cut and pinned together. My husband has asked if I want to start a little side business of sewing but I don't think so... That would make it a job and I am just a little job phobic... I like being able to do things at my own speed and not having to worry about pleasing anyone else...

So that is life.

Sunday I have plans to do nothing but update my various photography business endeavours
