I know, I know, still no pictures of me from last week. I’ve been EXHAUSTED. We have painted the room, minus the trim, although we do have the paint for that. Too much crouching and sitting on the floor painting has given me some major aches and pains.
We had the primer all set Friday night, and woke bright and early Saturday morning- not by choice. No, we were awakened by the family of raccoons that inhabit the tree next to the nursery. Seriously, at 6am, it appears they were getting ready to transition from their nighttime home (the tree) to their daytime home (the storm drain at the end of our street), and making as much noise as possible while climbing down the tree and the fence. I woke up, said to Paul, “Is that Bandit and Coony?” Yep, it was those raccoons again. So I got up and looked out the window. One of the raccoons had made his way down the top of the fence and was now looking directly at me. I was kind of shocked, but also slightly entertained. From the bed Paul asked what they were doing, and I told him it appeared they were leaving. Then I sniffed (allergies, you know) and the raccoon HISSED at me! The nerve! Of course this prompted Paul to get out of bed to defend my honor. We stayed up for an extra hour hissing at the raccoon from our room and the baby’s room. It was pretty entertaining, all the hissing that went back and forth between the five of us (three raccoons and two humans), especially when Paul tried to make himself “look big” with his arms up like a bear. See? This is why I love my husband more than anything.
We have registered at Target and Babies R’ Us. A lot of stuff is duplicated on each registry- I go through and pick what I like, then see something I like better, but get too tired to go back and delete the one I like less. It’s a horrible cycle, folks.
Paul and I went to Target yesterday, since we needed toilet paper (peeing forty thousand times a day will really diminish your t.p. supply), toothpaste, and jumbo bikini underwear for me. While we were there we found some cute little outfits- I nearly died fifteen times. Paul gave in and let me pick out something for her, so we got this:
HOW CUTE IS THIS??
Since it was so cute, and Paul picked it out, we also got this:
The green one, it says "Mommy's Sweetie"
So we didn’t really get THAT much done, although I must say, painting was a LOT OF WORK!!
On Sunday we baby-sat our nephews and their two friends. Whooooeeee, four boys are a bunch of excitement and hyperactivity! Not only that, but we were at my brother in law’s house that has like, five stories: the very top that has just a bedroom and a bathroom with a staircase down to another bedroom, a staircase from that floor down to ANOTHER bedroom, another staircasedown to the floor with the kitchen/dining room (which has four steps down into the family room/door to the patio and stairs down to the yard), THEN there is the den/basement that has another bathroom and a door to the yard. So, in all, I was up and down 7 sets of stairs the whole day. The good thing is, there was a bathroom pretty much everywhere I looked, so that was enjoyable.
