My Side Of The Story: Weekend Wrap Up

October 7- Tay and I met Jametra for lunch. I love being able to take Tay anywhere with me. He is such an easy little boy. I enjoy the days that it is just the two of us at home and I enjoy the days that are filled with errands and busyness. I was staying later than usual that night. Once naptime was over, Anns got out a board game for us to play. And a puzzle to put together. Trying to decide what we wanted to do for supper and the night, their mom game home and took Anns to meet a friend and her family for dinner and she ended up spending the night over there. So Tay and I stayed at home. He was extremely hyper. After eating dinner, we went outside to run off some of his energy. We swang, raced in the yard, and played in the sand pile. It was fun to play outside in the dark. Not a typical day for us. Then it was time for a bath. I love babies and kids after baths. We snuggled on the couch to watch a show before bedtime. His mom came home in time to put him to bed. So sweet.

October 8- I left the Hills a little after 11 and went to Walmart. I got home around 12:30am. I'm not sure what happened, but I decided that it was a great time to clean and do a few things around my house. And since Jametra was awake, I might as well involve her. We cleaned out the fridge and defrosted our freezer. I cleaned out the pantry. I put together a tv stand. You know, the things you do at 1:00 am. We finally went to bed a little after 3:00am. I got up decided to move my bookcase. I wanted to move it to another corner. On the same wall. So I tried scooting it. Nope. I tried inching it. Worked a little better. Then I had to take everything off so that I could lift it to put it in the corner. Well, then the bookcase bottom piece broke. And it was leaning. So I sat down in the floor and tried to fix it. Well, the shelves that where still in the case fell.

On. Top. Of. My. Head.

Yep, I now had a nice, huge bump on my head. That hurt. Jametra suggested I leave it where it was and while we were out I get some nails and try nailing the case back together. So we got dressed and went to the Flea market, ate lunch, and shopped. I got the bookcase fixed and went to meet my friend Hannah at Hobby Lobby. I got some things for Hannah to decorate for me. We then picked up the balloons and went to decorate at a restaurant for her mom's surprise 50th birthday party. It went really well. Then I came home to finish getting my house ready for girls' night. Hannah and Sade' came over around 9:30pm. We painted, talked, played cards, cooked, ate, sang, and plain had fun. So much fun. They spent the night and we didn't go to bed until 4:30am. A great Saturday indeed.

October 9- We all slept until about 9:30 or so. Sade' and Hannah left. I took a shower and finished cleaning up from the party. Then I went to eat lunch and watch a movie. I came home in time for a nap before going to work.
