Fast forward 13 years and I’ve had quite a busy day. Last night didn’t end until today at 1:30am. I am slammed at work and with the summer at hand and no preschool and no L this week, I can’t seem to concentrate during the day. I seem to go in circles, apparently working but not really accomplishing anything. So I’ve been spending a few evening trying to catch up. So I was tired this morning.
At lunch I made pancakes and eggs for us and then we got in the pool. The water had gotten a little cool because of the rain so I spent my time laying on the deck. And yes, we have a deck. Or at least a partial one. The main deck has all the boards, it just needs the railing. There’s a smaller deck that attaches that he’ll work on next. He’s off this weekend so I assume he’ll be doing that then.
This afternoon I went and picked up my rings from the jewelers. They fit perfectly and I’m enjoying them. Ladies, you remember when you first got your engagement ring and you kept looking at it. Holding it up on the steering wheel as you drove, taking a peek in a passing mirror, staring at your hands at the keyboard…that’s sort of how I am now. It feels weird to have a new set after all this time. This one is much different and just has a different vibe about it. I know the stone is not real, but I’m mentally preparing myself for my hopefully 10 year anniversary present! I can’t imagine how much staring I’ll do after that.
Lexi amazingly took a nap this afternoon and I had to wake her up at 6. I got take out from Olive Garden and took it to Mom and Dad’s new house where they are still working on it before the furniture gets moved in tomorrow. The house is really looking different and really, really good. Her bonus room is painted brown on the walls and then a green on the ceiling. It’s the exact colors of my house and I love it. I wanted to stay in there.
The girls seem to like their house. Mom calls it the princess house so the girls will be excited about the move. But Emma started asking questions tonight as to why they had to sell the old house and they couldn’t live there anymore. I’m sure she misses her other house, she loved going there.
Scott is working again tonight so I’m on my own. Probably will stay up for a little while and work. I’m really, really tired though so I doubt it will be long.
