Happy/ Sad Day

Today I am happy! Campbell is in Second grade and we are now back on the school schedule of being in bed by 9. I get 2 hours of peace. I get 2 hours to do what I want. I get 2 hours to talk to Brian without interruptions (if Brian stays awake that is). I get 2 hours to watch a movie if I want. I love the school schedule for this little break from being a mom at nights. I wonder what I will do at night.

Today I am sad! Campbell is in Second grade and we are now back on the school schedule of going into work at 9. Working 9 to 5:30 and being the only one in my department for the last hour of the day. Natalie has switched her schedule to part time. I'm Jealous and yes with a capital J! So today I am happy but sad too. I haven't decided which one will stick around the longest.

Monday Results

I know you guys have been on pins and needles to see how my unexpected day of leisure came out. What did I do you asked? First I did business. I took all our cans back, $15.15 for spending. Then I signed up for the sewing class I wanted to take. September 25 I am going to learn how to Free Motion Sew, I hope. Right now I am the only person that is registered so I hope they don’t cancel. There is a home Iowa game that weekend so I will need to find someone to watch the boys. Wonder what my mom is doing that weekend? I went and wandered Hobby Lobby after trying to have lunch with my husband, but he was busy. I had lunch outside and read a book while eating (Plan B). After lunch I had 3 hours before I had to go to the Chiropractor so I worked on Campbell’s quilt. I have all the rows done now I just have to sew them together. I won’t have the top done by his birthday but I should have it done by the beginning of September. Brian came home and we went out for supper at the Smoke Shack (new restaurant I can now take off my list). During supper he got a phone call (Surprise!) it was his parents and Jamison threw up twice so they are bringing the boys back to us. We then took a trip to Walmart to get our groceries that we hadn’t gotten during the weekend and went home to watch some TV without interruptions until the boys came back from Madison. I will take more days like this.

How did this happen?

On Friday I saw that Monday was still supposed to be gorgeous and took the day off. So I told Brian and the boys Friday night. Went on our happy way this weekend. Yesterday Brian says at lunch, "mom and dad are going to Madison tomorrow and taking Campbell." Lorraine says "we can take Jamison too if Campbell goes Jamison should too." Halloo, did I not say I have Monday off to spend with the boys. So here I sit with the boys on the way to Madison and me not knowing what to do first. Go out side and read? Actually get some work done? Play on my sewing machine (I do still have Campbell's quilt to finish.) or go bum around the craft shops. I went to exercise at 5:30 this morning so all are possibilities. And I might have a date night because they are staying over night. I told Brian to call me if he wants to do something and I will see if I am available. Now off to the adventures I can have. I'll let you know what I decide.

Celebrate Good Times

Jamison is officially fully potty trained!! And for the ones that are saying "He's four he should have been along time ago" I have to say "@# $@&^%!" Anyway he is night trained (way easy) and poo trained as of yesterday!! I am giving the last of my diapers away!
