This Monday brought to you on a Tuesday because I took another day off work to sleep in and snuggle with my baby! I took one day off in the beginning and one in the end from work to have a longer weekend.
Where do I begin to tell you what a wonderful time I had on my mini-fiesta to celebrate my freedom as an American, which by the way is the reason I get to take a day off work and get paid, I hope you did too. I am not really into the rockets red glare as much as some people but like to watch from afar, and pray that I don't get dusted by the fall-out. Which sometimes makes me think I have past war regression from a past life, but I am crazy like that. I was going to take Morgan to see her first fireworks but decided her sleep and my sanity far out weighed the thrill she would get watching the glitter fall from the sky. So for Morgan there is always next year.
For me I had a chance to get away to see Diva at her parents house that isn't to far away from me. Friday night I took a drive to Capac, where there they really like the chance to blow things up in the form of fireworks, drink beer out of plastic glasses and use excuses like there was a mosquito on your face when you suddenly get bitch slapped! It was a fun time but much more relaxed from parties past with alot more children than I remember. The party also was on the heels of a somber morning Diva's Gramma who had always come to watch the fireworks had past away. I do recall the last bomb was followed by Diva's Mom yelling "that's for you MOM"! After the fireworks were over I finished my beer and managed to carry out a whole box of Crunch n'Munch for the drive home.
You probably are not going to believe me when I tell you Saturday I slept in until 8am! I never thought with having a child I would ever wake up on my own again, but it happened the first time in a long time. I laid there in bed listening to the humming of the box fan and cursing myself for not pulling the door shut before going to bed to block the sunlight from hitting my eyes. Then I heard Morgan wake, the cutest thing was when she was ready to get up I heard, "Mommie.........miss you, get up", what a great way to stumble out of bed. We spent most of our morning munching of cheerios, sippin juice, and watching Sesame Street. Later I invited myself to a 40th wedding anniversary for my friends parents, it was the most relaxed and organized party I have ever been to. You can see a picture of the happy couple here named Hon & Hon. I enjoyed hanging out chillin and being escorted by the finger of my daugther because she was nervous and didn't want to be left alone with so many strange kids at once. I guess it is a toddler faze one that reminds me every.single.second. that I have a miniature person relying on me to show her the way.
Sunday we started our day off at church, that was a refreshing reminder as well that the Lord still loves me even though I haven't been to see him in two weeks. I did manage to pick up the good book and read a few passages in Deuteronomy later that day to find a note for two little ladies who were getting baptised that afternoon. By going to church it prompted me to dust off my One Minute Bible while Morgan napped and wouldn't you know the page I left off last time was titled "Read the Good Book"! Sometimes things just come out to bite YA!
This is where I will leave you for now, I have to catch up on a thing called work. OH yeha I almost forgot................I DID NOT WIN THE Wii, my 5 in 42,232 odds did not pay off! So much for the shirtless man party unless there is one out there that wants to share his Wii!!
