I’m Beautiful Like Me.

Today was hectic. Woke up around 9am. Husband got in late last night and just stayed up to get Joy on the bus (thank you, darling!), so he slept until just before he had to go into work. The boy and I had breakfast, I got us both dressed and we headed out to Old Navy for their big sale. I bought so many clothes for him. They are the cutest outfits! Most of the clothes I got won’t fit him until fall, but it’s just as well since it will be warming up soon and the clothes are really more for cooler temps. I also got the girl some very nice shirts. I love the 40% off sale! I would’ve stayed longer (and prolly bought more), but the boy was pissed off about being in the stroller. I ended up pushing an empty stroller one-handed, while toting him on my hip. Erg.

We then headed for Wal*Mart just to pick up a few things. Happy to beat the weekend crowds. The boy is much happier riding in the car seat propped in a shopping cart. I think he likes being up higher. We played our usual game of blowing raspberries back and forth and blinking hard at each other. He’s so much fun when he’s like that. And of course, the ladies all already love him. I have to fight off germy strangers every time we go out.

Dinner was ready when we got home around 2pm. I prepped a pork loin, greens and potatoes this morning while the boy snacked on some cinnamon rolls (no icing). It smelled so good! I got Husband conscious long enough to show him the clothes which he agreed are totally adorable. He didn’t wince when I told him how much I spent either. I’m a lucky girl! Nursed the boy a bit and left him to nap with daddy.

Joy came home from school, so I woke the boys up and we ate dinner together. Husband left for work. Another long week away from home for him.

A friend stopped by for a while and we caught up. Sometimes I feel so out of touch with the outside world. It’s good to have an adult conversation with someone face-to-face once in a while!

The girl has her cousin over for the weekend. The two of them are being really loud! I’m afraid they will wake the baby (who is asleep in his crib again tonight!). I’ve already asked them twice to keep it down. I haven’t kept him in a very long time, so it’s good to have him here.
