The Last Four Days (boring post...don't read it)
Wow. What a weekend.
Thursday and Friday I was off work due to my best friend's wedding. Thursday I got my nails done, finger and toe. They looked so pretty. I was psyched. Then I went to get an oil change. Mundane detail, though I was happy for 30 minutes of peace and quiet which allowed me to read more of The Davinci Code. Mommies just have NO time to read. Then off to Anderson I went to calm both the bride and the groom. Fun. Really. (Can you sense the sarcasm?)
We had a rehearsal after that, and those always last longer than you think and hope they will. Off to the dinner. Then back home. Baby was not happy at the rehearsal since there were fun aisles to run up and down but Mommy and Daddy were too mean to allow him clearance. He was good at the dinner, though. Lots of yard to play in. Lots of cords and DVD holders to mess with. I can tell how much of a parent I have become: I grow annoyed very quickly when visiting houses that are not baby-proofed. I don't know why I do this. This family doesn't have any babies, yet I expect it to be proofed so that my child doesn't get into anything??? How arrogant of me. But at least I'm admitting how foolish I am.
The wedding day was hectic. Things were running a little late (which made me stressed more than I already was--I'm the time Nazi for those of you who don't know me), and then traffic was HORRID. We feared being late for the wedding, but all worked out. The wedding was absolutely fabulous. Both the bride and the groom got a bit choked up during the vows, which in turn made my sensitive self turn into a blubbering fool. Good thing I know myself pretty well and came prepared with a hanky tied around my bouquet. Good thinking, I know. The reception was fun, though I wish I could have gotten my 'white girl dancing' on a bit more. Had a TON of fun with "Cotton Eye Joe." Oh yeah---that's my song. Mmmm-hmm.
Saturday was miserably hot at the zoo, but the baby had a ton of fun at the splash area. I've never seen a kid get splashed directly in the face so many times and just laugh. He's great.
Sunday we went out to eat, went shopping at Kohls (they were having a sale....WOW...what a freaking surprise) and then went to see Open Houses. I found a house that I just LOVED, but unfortunately the yard was nonexistent. That's a must in my book.
Have you ever yearned to return to work? I haven't been there since Wednesday afternoon, and I can't wait to go back. I know, sounds odd. I love my job for various reasons, and after this whirlwind of a long weekend, I will be happy to return to my normal schedule. There's something to say about normalicy. At times, it can be quite comforting.
