Tuesday Blahs

Today is Tuesday and I am back to work after a 3 day weekend…and all I want to do is go home and sleep.  Instead of a relaxing weekend I had a productive weekend and believe it or not that makes me feel better mentally than a relaxing weekend.  I hate when my head is filled with all of the things that I have to get done so Love took Nate to his parents for the weekend and I stayed home to clean.  My big project was the basement and when I began at 10am and it looked like this…

Before

A Little While Later

I figured it would take me a few hours and I could take a shower and do some shopping.  Halfway through the day I was making great progress but I still had a long way to go…

Better

I finally emerged from the basement at 6:30pm after 8 long hours of organizing and rearranging and I felt so much better.  I jumped in the shower looking forward to a phone call from Love and Nate and Chinese food that our friend Mike was bringing over.  I was so happy to be clean and I was starving since all I had all day was a quick lunch at noon.  I took Mike downstairs to see my magnificent work and he said he was impressed.  He likes to blow smoke up my ass so who knows if he was telling the truth but I know I am impressed.  Here it is…

The left is all Nate's baby stuff and right is all Holiday decorations

The middle is random crap :)

The Chinese food was just what I needed and then it was time to watch the last episode of Spartacus Gods of the Arena.  If you’re not familiar with it or Spartacus Blood and Sand you are missing out.  It is a fantastic show on Starz that I highly recommend.  It is shot similar to 300 with the violence, gore and bloodiness but it is also a great story with great characters and it’s actually funny at times too.  It’s worth a look just for Solonius’ hair alone.  Perfect segue…here’s Nate getting a haircut yesterday!

Then Mike and I moved on to “You’re So Hot” on Funny or Die.  You will laugh your ass off so please find a few minutes and enjoy.  Last on our agenda was The Social Network.  I was pleasantly pleased at how quickly the movie moved along.  Knowing ahead of time how much dialogue was involved I thought it may drag at times but it kept my attention and even if it is partially made up I think it’s a great story.  Jesse Eisenberg killed it as Mark Zuckerberg and he deserved his Oscar nomination.

Sunday was a lazy morning with the time change and then Love and Nate came home.  I missed them a lot but it’s so funny how Blue (our Beagle) acts differently when it’s just the two of us.  I think he was sad they came home.  I was happy but also secretly still wanted some me time so I actually could rest but it was back to laundry and cleaning. 

Yesterday was the end of my 3 day weekend and it was a busy day.  I dropped Nate off at daycare and had someone come to clean my oil burner, I threw on some laundry and had some breakfast.  After he left I went to a few stores, got gas (which is currently hovering around $4 a gallon) and picked up Nate.  We went to see a nursery school for the Fall and I was pleased to find out that it will be the same price as we pay for daycare but he will be there an extra hour a day and he will be in a group with all 3 year olds.  He’s a really bright kid so I think it is going to be really good for him to finally be around kids who are only his age instead of just older and younger kids.  We then hit up the library for some DVD’s and CD’s, went to Kohl’s (Nate’s favorite store) for pajamas and socks and then Nate begged to get a haircut.  I don’t know any other kid his age that wants a haircut that badly but you put an idea I his head and he doesn’t forget it.  After a nap (for Nate – not me) Love came home and I was happy that the day was almost over.  I was so tired even though I knew that going to bed meant that I would be back to work today.  Some days I feel like work is a break from home but not today.  I’m too tired and just want my bed.
