After the Ruby Tuesday's ordeal we did in fact head to Nauvoo, IL for camping fun with the family. Of course there were good times and bad. We had a few melt downs but all in all it was nice to get away from home for a bit. The kids loved it and still have the mosquito bites to prove it...GROSS! Sully's legs were completely covered and Paislee even ended up with a few on her face.
The hubs, Scotland and I all headed home late Sunday night while the grandparents, Sully and Paislee headed to Mt. Pleasant, IA on Monday. Fun was had by all. I attacked our bathroom the majority of the day Monday and ALL DAY TUESDAY. I took pics of the work, and now that this post reminds me, I highly irritated that I've misplaced the memory card with those pictures! Wow, what a quick way to ruin my evening! Anyway, the bathroom is about 95% done, walls painted, vanity painted, new mirror hung. Now for the final few details...that will likely never get completed until it is time to sell the house and move. Besides working on the bathroom Monday and Tuesday I really can't remember the rest of the week...
Last Saturday was a total waste! We got up and went to Sully's first soccer game, which he absolutely hated. He stood on the field and cried as soon as the game started...and I don't mean cry, I mean WAIL AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS! I ended up dragging him off the field, like any mom-of-the-year would. I drug my chair away from the Grandmas and made him sit beside me until he was ready to go back in...which never really crossed his mind. We put him back in near the end of the game for him to stand in one spot while rubbing his eyes and attempting not to cry...the kid does not like soccer. Next Saturday should be a real treat. On the other hand, Paislee started dance and absolutely loves it. There was no sign of shyness at all. This girl is going to be an entertainer. I'm excited to see how she grows from it all.
After the exhaustion/frustration of the soccer game we all went home and lounged around watching TV until lunchtime. I admit that I dozed off a bit. Then we ate lunch and took naps. After naps Grandpa Mark came to pick up the star soccer player to go to the monster truck show. Then the hubs, girls and I ate some supper and continued to lounge around until bedtime. The girls' bedtime was followed up by more lounging until I fell asleep on the couch and Gpa and Sully returned home. The hubs put Sully to bed and I fell back asleep on the couch. I was literally in a horizontal position for ~20 hours on Saturday...what a sloth! I blame it on the baby!
Thank goodness Sunday morning rolled around and we managed to get the house cleaned before heading over the the in-laws to watch the air show. It was a long day but the kids had a blast playing with all the other kids who cames with their parents. I was surprised the bathtub wasn't clogged after baths Sunday evening...those kids were filthy.
There are no excuses, I am just off this week. I've been off on my days and dates, I keep mixing things up at work, and I know it will only get worse. I'm 29 weeks and I've hit a wall. It seems Mr. Hogan has grown quite a bit in the last week as he is kicking in all directions at all times. It is still fun and exciting though. Last night I finished my "Complete Idiot's Guide to Natural Childbirth". I've gone back and ear-marked the chapters that I need to revisit. I'm still pretty stoked about the challenge before me. I just hope I can keep my composure and make it through. I've been watching TLC's A Baby Story on my lunch break for inspiration...today was a good one, but the rest have been stupid. About 90% of them have been c-sections and the other 10% have just been annoying people that have rubbed me the wrong way. Either way, today's was great. It was a natural water birth and this lady wailed about as loud Sully did on the soccer field.
Any who, I'm tired and that's enough catching up for now. I'm ready to snuggle in with my blanket and fall asleep....only to be woken up by the hubs and told to go to bed. Yes sir!
