Well another work week is drawing to a close and I can't believe that the first full week of October is already behind us. It's funny, I had been looking forward to last weekend so much that it seemed to FLY by! (Rick and I took Isabella to see Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D).
This weekend, we don't have much planned. I need to do my bi-weekly pilgrimage to Babies R' Us for formula, diapers, diaper pail refills, etc. I am hoping to find a Halloween Costume for my little one. I'd like to have pictures of the kids done at Picture People next week. If I have time (not like my schedule is jam packed with things to do or anything) I'll hit Lowe's and/or Home Depot to look at carpet for the bedrooms. My youngest is almost 3 months old and we are STILL not finished with the kids' bedroom. Being out on Maternity Leave and only getting partial pay really strapped us. Yet another reason I'm glad to be back at work!
I'm trying to come up with fun things to do with Bella. I don't like her getting bored and I know the thought of cleaning her room all weekend is not going to drum up excitement...at least not on her part. The prospect of seeing her floor would definitely brighten my day though! I think we'll do Taco Night on Saturday. I LOVE having taco night.
I got the chance to really talk to the hubs about money and vacation, etc. I think it finally sunk in that he needs to prioritize better. It's a good thing too, because I felt like I was doing all of the parenting and shouldering all the responsibility myself. While I understand that he has a lot on his mind with his oldest son (from a previous relationship), he needs to understand that he does have a family that needs some of his attention as well. I definitely think he is stating to "get it." He's excited for the vacation in January...Only another 100 days to go people. Disney is in our sights.
On another note, Thanksgiving in next month (along with my birthday!) and I'm excited about this as well. Last year, I hadn't yet found out I was pregnant and I was acting a bit looney tunes during those few days off. My poor family! I'm really looking forward to the food and spending time with family this year.
And so my 3rd week back from Maternity Leave draws to a close and I am looking forward to going home and seeing my kids. I miss them terribly while at work, but I think that's a good thing. I really appreciate all the time that I get with them when I finally do get to see them. While we don't have anything exciting planned yet for the next two days, I think I like it better when we fly by the seat of our pants!
