Whirlwind of a Week

Wow! Is it Friday already?!

This week (and last week) are pretty much a jumbled cyclone of things, events and thoughts. Let's try to sift through the craziness, shall we:

Last week Susie, Gary and Sara made the 1000 miles journey from Northeast PA to visit us. They stayed for the week and were lucky enough to being gorgeous weather with them (and leave behind the icky, rainy weather that pounded PA and NY last week..sorry guys).

We accomplished a lot, but did very little (does that make sense).  We went to the zoo (love me some Henry Vilas), checked out the mall, visited Trader Joes (or as I now call it: Joe's...we're on a first name basis now). Our Big event was getting locked out of the house from 11am until 6:20pm on Tuesday. Ha! My bad! We even have spare house keys...but they were both inside on the counter...well done, Me. No worries, it was a gorgeous day and didn't bother us at all. (Oh darn we HAVE to go out for lunch...poor us!). We got our landlord's spare key just in time for us ladies to leave for Book Club! We also visited the super awesome Arboretum! Hooray for nature!

They left Friday morning, giving us plenty of time to get Tim ready for another week out of town for business. He left Monday morning, and Josie and I have been anxiously awaiting his return ever since.

On Tuesday we attended a Mary Kay party at Riley's house...and I did not buy anything! Proud of me! Tuesday night, we got ZERO sleep because JBird suddenly came down with a nasty little cold. She was totally out of it and miserable on Wednesday; she even went to bed with a fever of 101. Joy. Wednesday night was, yet another, sleepless night. Luckily, Thursday we was nearly back to her destructive baby-ways by noon. We both slept for nearly 10 hours last night (with only a few fussing moments around 1am and 4am). It was absolutely amazing. I was even able to get her to take a 2 hour nap this morning! A feat that has not been accomplished all week!

Tim arrives home from DE tonight; around 9:30. I am LITERALLY counting down the hours until we can go pick him up from the airport.

I had a wonderfully organized To-Do list all made out at the beginning of the week...and by Wednesday I had thrown that bad boy away and said "No WAY am I doing anything this week!" I have book club, movie club and Mom's Night Out events to schedule...but they can all wait until next week. I feel like I need to spend the entire weekend sleeping...and eating...dessert (do I see cheesecake in my future? yes.)

To top off ALL the craziness that's been going on, Now I am fighting this nasty cold as well. Luckily, I've been using the neti pot since Tuesday night and only have a sore throat at the moment (no congestion or cough!)

Well, I have a pile of laundry a mile high that I've been putting off since last week. At least I'm getting SOMETHING done this week (I'm not counting the entire bag of tortilla chips that I ate all by myself as an accomplishment...even though I totally should...it was a big bag).

Wednesday Afternoon: Sick baby :(

Thursday Afternoon: Happy Baby!

Thursday Evening: Mischievous Baby (what a little ham)
