The Last Cool Spell
I sit here on the front porch of my house enjoying the last of the cool weather that we have enjoyed this weekend. Well, it’s cool by our standards. It didn’t even hit 90 yesterday and today the high was about 93. By the end of the week we’ll be pushing 110, which is when I officially use the word “hot” (can’t psyche myself out too early you know) and we won’t look back until about the middle of October. It stinks that I was sick this weekend and spent most of the time lounging in bed while Mike became the primary caregiver to Little Girl. Anyway, I’m sitting on my front porch typing on my laptop and enjoying the weather. Are you jealous?
We did have a good weekend. Mike was home a lot and took over taking care of LG and that was nice for me as I actually got some rest and relaxation that I needed. I even woke up this morning without a sore throat.
Yesterday for dinner I gave LG yogurt and even let her try her hand with the spoon for a change and she actually got a few bites in right side up before she decided that chewing on the spoon was more fun than eating off of it. So I fed her the rest of her yogurt with another spoon. Hey, whatever works.
The yogurt didn’t all go in her mouth of course, so i decided to give her a bath before bedtime. When I went to take off her clothes, I discovered a poopy diaper (still can’t smell those…hehehe) so I took her to her changing table to wipe her down. Then I let her run down the hall to the bathroom naked. Once we were in the bathroom, I had to adjust the temperature of the water slightly, so I let her walk around the room sans diaper. I turned around to get her into the tub and I saw a puddle. Yep, she peed on the floor. Hey, at least it wasn’t in the tub. *sigh*
Mike surprised me this morning by telling me he wasn’t going to work. Whoa. I had myself all prepared to be alone with the munchkin all day and surprise! I wasn’t. So I took the opportunity to go to Michael’s and Target all by myself. That was nice.
I spent the last week eating only healthy things. I actually went 7 entire days without putting a bite of junk into my mouth. I’m not sure it worked since number one, I got sick and number two, I was feeling weak and dizzy by lunchtime today. My body must have been in shock. ;-) Anyway, I also made sure to drink at least 64 ounces of water per day and I was supposed to also be working out, but being sick sort of messed that part up. I did manage to lose 5 pounds in a week, though, and that’s not too bad. I was supposed to do the healthy eating thing for 10 days, but I gave in today because I wasn’t feeling so good and had some ice cream and some Mexican food for dinner. I feel much better now.
Had I know Mike was going to be home today, I would have planned to barbecue and make home-made ice cream or something. And of course this morning we talked about all the things around the house we could get done, and we got exactly nothing done. But who cares? We all need a big fat day of doing nothing once in awhile.
Hope your weekend was wonderful!

Congrats! I need to follow you, and de-junk my trunk, ya know? Glad you had such a good day. It’s nice when the guy is actually home for a change, huh?
