This weekend was really nice. I worked from home on Friday,
so afterwards, I ran some errands, grocery shopped, went home, cleaned up, then
picked Emerson up from daycare. We had no plans on Friday night. We just hung
out at home. It was really nice. Emerson went to bed fairly early, which meant
I went to bed early. He slept in until almost 9am too! That was a treat. Of
course, I was up at 6:41am, but that was still sleeping in for me considering I
wake around 5am daily.
Saturday was great. We woke up, had breakfast, and played
most of the day. Emerson took a nice nap, which lasted about two hours. While
he snoozed, I got all gussied up to take us shopping. It’s always nice getting
that extra time to put into yourself. I don’t have much of that anymore.
Anyway, we headed over to visit my parents before we picked my sister up from
work. We headed to Once upon a child where I got Emerson a nice button up for
picture day, pajamas, and a new toy. I ended up spending around $12.00. It was
worth it. We’ve been waiting a long time to get out of the house! Afterwards,
we took Emerson for shoes. The poor kid didn’t even have shoes on his feet as
we shopped. We had a hard time getting something that fit, but settled on two
pairs of slip on boat-like shoes that are adorable. It was buy one get one for
$1, so I couldn’t pass it up. We kept a pair on his feet and just had the
cashier scan him at the checkout. He got a kick out of being put on the
register. Afterwards, we went out to dinner. The restaurant had no open high
chairs. Emerson was a wild animal! He was crawling onto the table and just
being outrageous. Luckily, they had one open up right after we got our food. He
was an angel after he was restrained. Dinner was nice though and it was great
to get out. After dinner, we drove my sister home and hung out at her house for
about an hour. It was getting pretty late though. We didn’t get home until
almost 9pm. Emerson slept most of the way, so when we got home, I let him stay
up awhile. We did get in bed by 10 though. I thought he’d sleep in on Sunday,
but he was up around 730am. He ended up
taking an early morning nap that spanned about two hours though, so that was
nice. He took another late afternoon nap for about 45 minutes. We just played
all day. It was a nice weekend.
This morning was a little hairy though. The roads were a bit
icy. I was able to get Emerson to daycare and myself to the bus, but it was
really scary. I hope the roads are better when I leave. Today is crazy hair/hat
day at daycare. Emerson has a Mohawk! I geled his hair up this morning. He looks
so cute and funny! Tomorrow is just picture day, so I’ll dress him up for that.
I hope his black eye looks a little better. He had another incident at daycare
on Friday. I was afraid to see the damage when I picked him up. It wasn’t too
bad though. It’s healing pretty quickly, but it’ll still look awful tomorrow I’m
sure.
This week, we have not much going on outside of work and
daycare. Funds are pretty low. I think I have $4 after I pay for his pictures
on Tuesday, which is okay. We have food, etc. I already made our meal plan for
the next two weeks once I go grocery shopping on Friday. I’m trying to add some
variety and healthier options. Hot dogs are great and quick, but I want him to
have some healthier meals. Plus, I need to be eating better than hot dogs and French
fries. We don’t have that more than once a week, but now that he gives me more
time to cook, it’s nice to switch it up. I love to cook anyway, so it’s fun for
me.
Alright, I have to go pump. Happy Monday, all!
