Holy *#@!K did I over book myself this past weekend. Overall the week went well last week but with Rouzer Cleaning Services expanding at rapid paces it left us scrambling to keep up on sleep. I even had to cancel Sunday evening plans. It has been NUTS.
1. Saturday in Columbus
We had another whirlwind weekend on the road in Columbus for Brian and Lauren's baby shower. Going to a shower is not fun for most adults and I will say that our kids did GREAT. I was extremely impressed and didn't have any issues with them at all. Jack was usually in the arms of grandma and grandpa but of course he loved flirting with all of the guests. I am glad I got to see Brian and Lauren one more time before the baby comes. We have seen them 3 times since May -- this has to be a record.
2. Rob & Judy's
After the baby shower in Columbus we headed over to enjoy the evening with the Jarretts. Their house is filled with adventure and we took advantage of the few hours that we were there. Being out in the middle of nowhere brings a calm and peacefulness that I wish always filled our lives. Living out there would be Mike's dream. On the other hand I HATE yard work and think it's a waste of time (I will have to post a picture of my weed beds sometime) and I would prefer to live in a condo.
3. Martini's at Melissa's
On Friday evening I left work early so I could spend 45 minutes at home before heading over for drinks at Melissa's condo. She lives smack dab in the middle of Mass Ave and she just upgraded her kitchen. It was beautiful. As always, spending time with the women in our family is fabulous. We talked about good books, good food and of course we talked about men. We enjoyed lemon basil martinis and cucumber mint maritins --- so so so good. Grateful that we have worked to keep this tradition going.
4. Getting caught up/Owen in the kitchen
On Sunday I was finally able to catch up on life. I was SUPPOSED to head to Amy's house for a girlfriend get together but life got in the way. Mike had to work for a new client and I couldn't bear putting my kids back in the car for another 45 minute drive. Instead I busted out laundry, worked on dishes, and eventually sat and played with my kids. I also took the time to work with Owen in the kitchen. He loves cooking so we finally had time to learn chopping!
When we first started Owen said that he was shaking he was so nervous. I couldn't tell but I had him cut and cut until he felt comfortable AND until I felt comfortable --- it's a super sharp knife! I am going to try and have him do a meal with me once a week. When I told him about my goal he asked if he could make dinner 5 times a week -- he is my ambitious one!
I went to bed at 7pm last night. That is not a typo. I actually fell asleep reading my book which is rare and then didn't wake up until my alarm went off at 4am. I finally made it back to the gym and had a solid run this morning. If I plan on doing the tri in a few weekends I think that working out would be beneficial to my performance and helping me to not die.
Mike has been insanely busy and stressed with work. He took the day today to hopefully get caught up on some paper work. He could do office work for hours and hours and hours. My hope is that by the end of his day to day he will finally feel that things are slowly getting done as well.
