Saturday morning we went to breakfast with our good friends. It's always interesting dining with a toddler. Will & Julia's Eleanor is 2.5 months now, so it's quite fun to give them a preview of everything toddler in life. After a fun breakfast of catching up (& catching food) we headed to the Clarkston Farmer's Market where I snagged some delicious honey, blackberries, and cookie!
Jon is out of town for a few days and of course Addy woke at 5am this morning. I am exhausted and typing frantically before she goes down for nap so I can relax as she naps and do absolutely NOTHING. In the pre-Addy era of our marriage I would actually sort of look forward to a few days by myself when Jon had a camp or retreat to go to. I would eat what I want, watch what I want, do some long put off projects that I have been wanting to do, connect with my girl friends. It was actually sort of fun to have a few days of me time. Now the post-Addy era has a much different feel to it. I am on daytime duty, and night time duty, and early morning duty. It gets pretty exhausting and isolating sometimes. I'm trying to have a positive outlook but a 5 am wake up call on day one is a little defeating.
Hope you all had a great week! I am sure going to try to this week!
I'm with you. Before Kendry I would actually relish a few days to myself at home. Now when Justin travels (which isn't often), I still find myself getting excited about watching TV, eating Thai food and/or staying up late tackling a project. Yeeaaah...that never happens. Its a bonus if I can even stay up until 9pm after keeping up with Kendry all day.
