Month: September 2006

I thought Labor Day was supposed to be relaxing!

No matter how long the weekend is, it just never seems long enough.  My plan for two hard days of work and then a day to rest ended up being three hard days of work and we still didn’t accomplish all of the goals that we set out with. 

You’ve already heard about Friday, so I’ll move on.  Saturday we spent all day cleaning the house and trying to keep Zach from screaming.  Hubby was a HUGE help even though he got called out to work in the middle of the process.  He actually cleaned the whole basement by himself, then came up and helped me with the rest of the house.  We got everything done but the bathrooms before we gave in to our laziness.  We then cleaned up, went out to dinner and went shoe shopping.  After we got home and got Zach settled and in bed, we tried to watch a movie and Hubby got called out to work again, so I went to bed.

Sunday wasn’t really a work day, but still was busy.  We went to church, then to my dad’s house for dinner.  After that, we were supposed to go home and do some yard work, but instead decided to take a nap.  We didn’t wake up until almost 6:00 and then ended up going to see our friends that we were supposed to see on Friday.

Monday morning I got up and made a trip to Wal-Mart for a few necesary household things and groceries.  By the time I got back I was exhausted.  Zach didn’t want to sit in the cart, so I ended up carrying him through most of the store.  I even tried to bribe him with toys, but that didn’t work.  As soon as we got home, I fed him and put him to bed for a nap.  Then I made my first batch of pear cobbler for the season.  As I was working on that, I realized that I had forgotten a couple of very important things at the store, mainly the ice cream to go on the cobbler.  While I waited for the cobbler to finish baking, I cleaned the two bathrooms that we skipped on Saturday, then made another trip to Wal-Mart for the forgotten items.  By the time I got back, it was time to get Zach up and fix dinner.  After dinner, I gave Zach his bath, paid bills, and finally at about 8:30 settled down to finish the movie that we started Saturday night. 

Now I’m back at work, wishing I had another three days so I could actually do some relaxing.  At least it’s time for lunch.  I’m off to go pick up my Audioslave “Revelations” cd.

The Dust Settles

Well, after one absolute hell of a week, things are finally settling down.  Hubby and I had it out yesterday and when we had both finally had enough, the calm set in. 

Lastnight, instead of going to visit friends like we had planned, we snuggled together on the couch and watched a movie.  I felt closer to him than I have in months.  It is amazing how much of a relief it was to finally tell him some of the things that have been in my head and in my heart.  I hate it that I had to hurt him so much in order to help him, but hopefully it will help him to know how much this whole thing has been hurting me.

Today we spent the day together cleaning the house.  We got along so well.  There was no arguing or raising voices.  It was actually a very nice day.  We tried to snuggle and watch another movie tonight but he got called out to work so I’m home alone on my computer.

Holy crap!  My sister just called and told me that she’s pregnant again!!!  Like just now, I’m still on the phone with her!  

Ok, well now that my mind is way off subject, here’s some pics from today.

 

Gotta love those eyes!

 

The cutest fake baby crocs I’ve ever seen.  So cute I had to buy them!

 

She still thinks she needs the big bone, even though it’s as big as she is!

I’m having a really hard time coming up with anything to follow yesterday’s emotionally charged post.  Somehow it seems wrong to go right back to the day-to-day drivel that I usually post here.  That post has stuck with me.  I thought that it would be a release and that it would actually make me feel better to type the words out, but I think it really had the opposite effect.  I spent most of the day in a bit of a fog, trying to sort out the feelings that I shared.

I received some very nice comments and e-mails following that post and, as always, I really appreciated every bit of advice and support.  Sometimes I wonder what I would do without the internet and the wonderful people that I have “met” here.  I often feel that there is nowhere to go with my problems, but I know I can always come here.
