I am so glad to be over and past the hump this week. It’s been a very rough one with little sleep and lots of work. Nate had a cold that started in the middle of the night Saturday and lasted until through Tuesday. Three days of a cold with him is more than enough. It wouldn’t be so bad if he was like most kids and was mushy and just laid on you when he feels bad. Instead he was like the Tasmanian Devil tearing through my house. That of course was because of the honey elixir cough syrup we were giving him. Never, and I mean NEVER give a small child honey elixir cough syrup. It says it’s all natural and it does stop the cough immediately but it is also pure sugar. I wanted to put him in the dog’s crate to stop him from running around and being crazy. Too bad someone already thought of that this week and got arrested for it.
I cannot wait for the weekend. Love is taking Nate Upstate to his parent’s house so Nate can have some quality Grandma and Pop time and I can have some Mommy time. This is the second time they’re doing it and it is nice to have the break. Don’t get me wrong I love them both to death but sometimes I need a little break to get things done around my house. Love thought I would get a pedicure and relax and all I want to do is clean the basement. I’m weird like that. I love to watch Hoarders and Animal Hoarders. It totally creeps me out that people can live like that. I get psycho when my office at home starts to pile up with junk that we just dump there instead of putting it away. I like everything neat and tidy, disorganization and clutter drive me crazy. Plus I have someone coming to clean my oil burner on Monday and I would be so embarrassed to take him down to the basement if it’s not cleaned.
I just discovered my new obsession this week. People have been telling me about it but I just never bothered before now. I feel like a fool to even say this but I went to the library the other day for the first time in probably almost 10 years. They had to update my card and two people asked me the last time I checked out something. I don’t know if I ever did. It’s not because I don’t read, I actually read constantly but I am also a germiphobe to some degree. To me the library is a huge germ ball and I can’t get past it. I have a Nook that I love and I prefer reading on it instead of holding a book. I have found a lot of people that disagree but I am all for all of my books being on something that is smaller than even one book. Nate is also a big reader. Well, he likes me and my mother (his Grammie) to read to him. He has a ton of books because people are always getting him books and he loves to sit and “read”.
So back to the library…Love informed me that you can go online and download free music which got me interested. I got an iPod Touch for Christmas and I am addicted to it. I’m always looking for more music and free music is a wonderful treat. While I was on the website I realized that you can order DVD’s and CD’s online and they let you know when they’re ready to be picked up. I’m going tonight to get The Social Network and I can’t wait to watch it. I love watching movies but am not such a fan of movie theatres especially since the bed bug epidemic began. I prefer my couch and a glass of wine. I’m also having trouble getting Nate to relax at night so I think I’ll try and get a Disney movie he hasn’t seen to watch tonight. Let’s hope he falls asleep early and stays asleep tonight so I can start feeling better now that he’s better. Fingers crossed.
