1. Date with my husband
As I noted in the last post Mike and I don't get much time to sit down and catch up. Last night at 430 I looked at him and said, "In 30 minutes I need you to stop working so we can spend some time together." He was in beast mode and it is rare that I cut into his productivity. Especially these days when there is so much to get done. Once we got out of the neighborhood (we turned back twice) we went to eat on the patio at South of the Border. We ate SO MUCH. Both Mike and I thought that we were going to explode. It was so nice to sit in the sun and talk about nothing. We eventually left because Jack pooped for the 5th time that day and was not happy when I had to change him in the bathroom.
The over indulgence of Mexican food did not help....but our night was MISERABLE. Mike and I both slept terrible. And then on top of that -- so did Jack. We both woke up thinking that we had less than 3 hours of sleep and aching to go back to bed. Jack started a new cold last night and clearly did not feel good. He is not a screamer but he loves to be held and he protests when you put him down. He is also getting his next tooth in on his left side so I know he is unhappy. Regardless--the night is over. All three of us survived.
It's actually more than a week...but I am soooo looking forward to seeing their stinky faces. It has been a long summer without them here. I feel grateful that they enjoy spending time in Chicago and I am grateful that they will be back home soon!
4. Dish washing bottles
I am so happy that I have such a huge supply of bottles for feeding and pumping that I can throw them in the dishwasher and not hand wash them multiple times a day. It has been fabulous.
5. Library books on my kindle.
