On my Own, Day 2
So today my husband left early again, this time to go camping with a bunch of Boy Scouts. He's excited, but it's not exactly my cup of tea. I like camping and all, but I have a hard enough time keeping myself fed, warm, and out of harm's way. I feel no need to add 10 pre-teens into the mix.
Justin left this morning and Em and I visited with my sister-in-law and my niece. My sister-in-law is ingenious at dealing with the constant battle over toys. I'm not as skilled, but together we managed to keep the girls on speaking terms. Later we checked out a couple houses for rent in Elk Grove. I wasn't thrilled about either (one had contact paper on the walls in the bathroom and carpet in there too...lovely), but it was good to see what's out there. We will keep looking next week. I brought Em home around 1, which is her nap. I was expecting a little bit of a battle, but she actually fell asleep very quickly. I should have prepared for summer school, but instead I watched two episode of Sex and the City. Bad girl. After Em woke up, we went to the bank and Target. I splurged and got her a small vanilla shake from MacDonald's. At least I thought it would be a small; it was huge! Oh well, she only drank a little. So now Em is playing in her room as I type this up. In a minute I'll pop in a workout DVD and see how she does with that. She did okay with the Pilates yesterday, actually trying out a couple of moves. She did sit on me during the teaser, which is a sucko move anyways. Tomorrow I need to head to school to get ready for summer school, which starts next week. I'm bringing Em to my meeting, which I am sure is inappropriate, but I don't have anyone to watch her. Besides, if she throws a fit, that should move things along. :) 3 comments from 3 users

I'm glad you are getting a little down time. You deserve it!

i've often brought my baby to things i shouldn't have! hey so what! i'm glad you had a day that you could just kind of float along and do whatever you felt like!when we were looking at houses to buy, we would view all kinds of houses since our budget was laughably low. one house in particular the family was home, it was a total dump (literally falling apart) and there was dog poop on the carpet! more than one! the lady didn't seem to care or notice. yuk posted by

HOW FUN! Sounds like a pretty great day to me. I've had those kinds of days when it's like "Awww, shoot... Dad's home." Of course we don't say that out-loud, but it's the best. Good job on watching SATC rather than working by the way. You deserve it!!!
