Well, it's 4:32 am and I just had to bust out a power strip so I could have my lamp on, keep the laptop plugged in since it will die after 30 seconds if it isn't, and have my heating pad toasty warm since I am having some awful tailbone pain that is making me walk like im 80. Now combine that with the new prego waddle im sportin and be jealous of my hotness!I couldn't sleep so I was reading some blogs from my cousin. Is she really my cousin? If you ask me I say yes but techincally speaking, no. My step dad used to be married to a woman... whos sister is married to a man... who is the brother to my cousins late mother. Do ya follow? Yeah, not many people do and that's why we just say cousin. Anyhoo, I love her and think she is a remarkable woman, mother and cousin/friend. Reading her blogs this morning at 2:30am got me thinking (they were more on the serious side with her added wit and humor of course.) and since my prego brain can't handle complex thoughts and almost everything is getting me emotional lately I decided to wake up and blog about our weekend instead.
Aaron has been working his tail off for months and actually had the ENTIRE weekend off!! This is huge, I always worked on Saturdays so we hardly ever had the entire weekend together. We decided to get some much needed things taken care of around the house, have some family time and do something fun for Kaelyn.
Friday Night Aaron's twin bro came over so they could play some FIFA and I went to play Bingo and the Elks club...(see, I am 80!)
Saturday we ran errands and had some family time. We made a trip to Lowes and FINALLY bought a new light fixture for above our dining room table. The ugly brass with etched glass panelled light was soon to be a thing of the past. Who am I kidding, that light was a thing of the past the day we said "I do" to our 30 fixed on this house!
OUT WITH THE OLD.....
We were also able to squeeze in some family time, a visit to Aaron's Grandma's, that lady is so cute. She is going on 91 and living on her own! She always gives Kaelyn $20 to go to McDonalds!! Oh and we found a headboard for Kaelyn's room in her garage..It was Aarons old one! Can't wait to fix it up. We did a little card playing with the neighbors, Aaron put in a shelf in the hall closet for me, we made a trip to the Children's museum for Kaelyn's fun time, and then Tully's for some Chais...which is a place Aaron and I would frequent on Sundays when we were dating. Now there we were sippin chais and sharing pastries with our 2 year old in the very place we would talk about things we wanted in our future. It was one of those ahhhhhh moments for me, with a side of chocolate milk and crumbs all over the table thanks to Kaelyn! On the way home I said I would like to do some yard work which Aaron knew meant he would be doing most of the manual labor but as my mom would say "hes a good egg" and did it anyway. We cleaned the front yard, the laundry room, and the garage (which were all a disaster!)
It was so nice to not be in front of the TV and be out and about. There is always too much to do when you only have one day off together each week. This was such a nice treat and even though I know we won't get many weekends like that I hope when we do we make the most of them like we did with this one!
