It has been a crazy week, my calendar was full mostly with my son's schedules. We had story time date, playdates and Gymboree class too. I also went to see our tax preparer friend for our taxes and I need to come back again next week to finalize the return. On top of Mikey's schedules; errands, shopping, making/returning phone calls, visit friends and checking/replying to e-mails used up most of my day time. Most night times I do blogging.
I always welcome the opportunity when I can go out of the house and leave my piling chores even for just a while. I just enjoy and maximize my time out by swinging by to my favorite stores. I used to shop all the time at Kohl's, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and DSW, but right now I'm into Jo-Ann's Fabric and Michael's for my scrapbooking materials and tools. I scrapbook every now and then and in between chores and while my son is taking a nap. I have different pages that I have started already and just have to be put together. There are some tools that I still need to get because of ideas that keep popping up while doing my projects. This hobby is getting to be costly and I spent quite a lot already with only one page completely done, lol. But I'm enjoying it tremendously, keeps my mind away from my usual routine.
I'm also trying to clean up as much as I can, getting the house ready for my FIL's visit. I feel like making him stay in our study room since we have a sofa bed there too, but it might not be comfortable for him, he's already 82 years old. If I will let him stay in the guest room which is Mikey's room now, it means that I will have to let Mikey sleep in our room. I hate breaking his habit of retiring to bed without any resistance. He's good at bedtime, I just put him in the crib, play his lullaby songs and kiss him goodnight. I'm afraid that for 2 weeks that my FIL is here, this good habit will go down the ditch and we will start over again.
Anyway weekend starts tomorrow, hubby is home so I can have some time to myself, hopefully, lol, if he wont be busy with his project at work or school homework. Anyway, for sure we'll be dining out and shop because its weekend.

I think your FIL will be more comfortable in the regular bed. Sofa beds are not comfortable at all. If you have space in the spare bedroom, you can move Mickey's crib temporarily.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Maybe!

Hi Mira, you are one super woman! Pangalawa lang ako sa'yo LOL Two more weeks and Antonio will start his spring baseball season and I'll be the usual ulirang alalay LOL But I love the feeling of being there for him; his official photographer, #1 cheerleader *wink
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your weekend.
Barb - that's what I thought too, we only tried the sofa bed once since we bought it, lol. We need to disassemble the crib to get it through the door though. On the other hand, I do all my computer works at the study so don't want to give it up either, lol.
ReplyDeleteLou - we all are super women, lol. That must be exciting to tag along Tony's practice, you'll have more subjects to take. Few more years I'll be exactly like you are a soccer mom, lol, additional credentials to my long list of 'talents' lol.

(floods in England, polar ice and ice caps at moutain peaks melting, I think more severe and frequent hurricanes in US, rain when it is supposed to be a dry season in my country, someone from Queensland recently contacted me if I noticed the weather changing. I replied when I was young I had to sleep under the blanket, but now I sleep topless. If I remembered, he said it is freezing in tropical Queensland and now he has to sleep under a blanket. Please folks, take good care of our one and only Spaceship Earth which have no lifeboat. It may not affect us severely now, but it has every chance of severely affecting our future generations. Then they will have lots to be "thankful to us)
Hi Peter, thanks for visiting me. Yeah those were my former credentials, lol, professional turned full time mom, but I've got no regrets. It's hard but fulfilling. I'll check you out often, you've got very informative site.
