Ok, I just had to complain about that for a second...as I sit here going to all the park and rides knowing I'm going to be 45 minutes late to work.
This weekend was super jam-packed. I had my last day of First Tee. The girls were actually sad and said they'd miss us. That means A LOT because a lot of the girls don't love golf and they do it because their parents want them to...and then we spend 8 weeks trying to convince them that golf is a lot of fun and they should keep doing it. So, it seems like we succeeded and most of them said they'd be back in the spring. I will miss them and the golf season (and the extra paycheck!), but it will also be nice to have Saturday mornings free again. And it's getting cold, so it is less fun golfing when it's 37* out like it was this past Saturday.
In the afternoon Evan and I took a trip down to DC to visit my co-worker and her new baby. I LOVE babies and I really love tiny little newborns. Her son was born just two weeks ago, so he was little little. It was fun to see her, catch up, and hear her birth story. After being pregnant I love hearing about other people's birth stories for some reason. It's not something I ever thought about before, but now I'm always interested. My plan had been to bring her some frozen food, but she didn't confirm until Friday night so I didn't have time to make anything. I stopped by Panera and bought her a bunch of bagels instead, and I had already bought some granola and oatmeal a few weeks ago. I felt like that was the nicest thing that people did for me when I had Evan - everyone came with food. It was something that had never occurred to me and I appreciated it so much. Keep that in mind! If any one of your friends ever gives birth - head over with food, they will love you forever.
It's a good thing that I am not pregnant right now because I can tell you - Evan was NOT happy with me holding the baby. He kept trying to crawl back into my lap and push the baby away. Not in a mean way, but definitely in a jealous way. I can totally see him being jealous of a new baby. He played with his toys a bit but kept coming back and trying to crawl into my lap. He does that when I hold my sister's daughter too. He's definitely a momma's boy right now - he loves to cuddle with me and will climb into my lap and give me a kiss for no reason. It's the most adorable thing in the world, but maybe it wouldn't be if I had another baby!
Later that night I picked up Ivan and we tried to go to Costco, but it was closed. It was really annoying because Evan had fallen asleep in the car and then we woke him up to get him out - only to find out that Costco closes at 6pm! On a Saturday! Crazy sauce. So we went to Target instead and spent a ton of money there. On non-essential items - minus the dog food. I HATE going to Target for that reason alone - I always find stupid stuff I don't need (and Ivan finds more) and then then next thing we know we are paying $80 when we only needed $13.00 dog food. Frustration to the max (and yes, I did just say than and I know it sounds stupid, but I'm not erasing it).
Sunday was suppose to be a bit lazier, but it wasn't. I got up early to go running with my sister and Evan - even though it was only 37* outside. Freezing! And I couldn't find our weather shield for Evan.
See that nice contraption that keeps Evan warm? Where did it go? I searched every box, closets, drawer, and cubby that it could possibly be and it is NO WHERE. I have no clue what happened to it and it's driving me crazy because it's like $65 and I don't want to have to buy another one. However, when it's cold and I force Evan to go for a run with me, I feel bad having the cold wind blow in his face. He was fine yesterday though and only started fussing the last half mile, and never broke out into a full cry. He did pitch one of his mittens overboard though and it's lost forever. Sorry Mimi - it was one of the Mickey Mouse ones you made him last year. It was a good run though.
That's me after the run in my running clothes. Sorry, we don't have a great mirror to take good photos. Also, I seem to have hurt my food somehow. I'm not sure how, but it started hurting on Saturday and it's only gotten worse. I wasn't even doing anything - just noticed this dull throb in my arch area and now it's so painful I can't walk normal. I had to do a run-hop thing because it hurt to run and I am now hobbling all over the place. I have no clue what could have happened and I am just praying that the pain disappears. We'll see. I'm thinking I probably shouldn't run on it until the pain goes away, even though running on it didn't make it worse.
We did finally go to Costco yesterday and spent a bunch of money on things we didn't need and some things we did. I bought some Ravioli that I thought Evan would like, but he doesn't. So, glad I have 10000 more raviolis for him. And Ivan bought 32 Cokes. Yup, I guess you can never have too much coke if your name is Ivan. We also bought a HUGE bag of carrots that Ivan said he's going to help eat. Ivan hates vegetables so I figured if he was going to eat a few carrots I'd buy them. Of course we then had to make a quick trip to Giant to buy the rest of the food we didn't want 500 of or that Costco didn't carry organic of - like yogurt and eggs.
All in all the weekend was fun, but my main goal had been to study and that didn't happen much. I started to study on Sunday afternoon while Evan was napping but then he woke up and was still tired and fell asleep on my chest for an hour. So I watched Parenthood instead....
