This was written yesterday


Yesterday was ridiculous. I really hope this week starts to get better. All of the little things are just adding up. I took my nephew and Emerson to the food festival. It started to pour down rain like you wouldn’t believe while we were there. All the boys got were overpriced ice cream cones. They loved it anyway, but we did nothing else. They weren’t able to play in the bounce houses, or try other foods, or do anything because the weather completely ruined it. After about 20 minutes of waiting for the rain to stop, we made a break for it to the car. All of us were soaked. It was insane. I didn’t even care. I just wanted to get out of there.

We dropped my nephew off at his other grandma’s house (his dad’s mom), then we went to visit my parents for a bit. When we got into their house, I put Emerson down, but he wouldn’t bear any weight on his left leg. He was fine when we left daycare. He literally went from daycare, to the car, into the stroller. He did lose a shoe at the festival, so maybe something happened with that. I have no idea how the heck he could have hurt himself though. I’m so beyond baffled, but he was fine when he woke up this morning, so I don’t know what happened there. I’m hoping when I pick him up from daycare that he is fine.  I let him stay up later last night because I was so worried about his foot. I kept checking it to make sure nothing was stuck in the bottom (glass, splinter, etc) and I wiggled it around without him even flinching. He seemed unbothered by it until he had to walk. He ended up waking up around 130am freaking out. I gave him a hug, then laid him back down. Of course, I was up the rest of the night. I’m tired today.

I’m ready for the rest of this work week to just be uneventful. We’re taking the boys to Splash Lagoon, an indoor water park, this weekend. I’m excited. It’s a couple hours away, so I hope the kiddos sleep there and on the way back. It looks like a pretty cool place and I’ve heard rave reviews. The only thing that concerns me is Emerson’s dad’s family and his dad live up there and I know they frequently go to that place. Well, at least they used to a few years ago. Who knows how it is now. With the week I’m having, they’ll be there on Saturday. I hope I’m wrong though. I know I have nothing to feel embarrassed, or shamed over. He should feel embarrassed, but I know it’ll just be super awkward and uncomfortable for me. Basically, I just don’t want to deal with it and I want to go and have a good time. If you’re reading this, find other plans on Saturday. Don’t ruin ours!

Other than that, we’re just going to have a chill weekend I hope. I’m so tired. I’m trying to not dwell though. I didn’t work out last night, therefore I have to work out tonight. I don’t want to skip two days in a row. Eating is on point as always, which is 90% of the struggle. I can’t believe I’m on day #16 already! I have to work late on Friday, so my sister is picking Emerson up for me. I plan on running in the morning-rain or shine, so I’ll have my workout done early, which is nice. If I’m up to it, I’ll do some abs on Friday night. We’ll see how that goes. It’s so hard to want to do anything at night anymore.

I decided to terminate my cable for a few months. Well, not terminate, but to downgrade to just local channels. My cousin is going to give me a ton of DVDs for Emerson to watch. All of the fall shows will be coming on soon, so I’ll be fine. I hardly watch at all anyway. I am awake for maybe an hour or so after I’m done working out at night. I just flip aimlessly anyway. I’ll end up hopefully saving close to $230 for Christmas. I have a pretty small budget for Emerson, but that’ll greatly help me. I don’t plan on going overboard anyway. I’m going to leave the cable on until I get the DVDs though, which should be tomorrow. At that point, I’ll have it downgraded. I’m excited thinking of the money that I’ll be able to save. Who knows, maybe I won’t ever turn it back on!

My sister and I have a share plan through at&t. Our contract is up in October. Right now, I’m looking at other companies to see if we can get a better rate. We pay so much now. If I can get that down, I’d be super happy.

Alright, All. have a good night!
