So this weekend was pretty uneventful. Lissi left me on Friday to go to Maine with her dad & Jenna. Her Pappy picked her up & I let her take half a day at school. So it was me & Taylor left to our own accord.

Miss Taylor must have not been feeling well on Friday cause she got up at 5am & with the exception of a 45 minute nap was up most of the day & very cranky... I felt horrible for her & didn't know what to do to calm her. I held her, rubbed her back & belly, gave her 2 baths (this calmed her for a little, she loves the bath) we went in the swing, our vibrating chair, we played on a blanket on the floor, we went outside in the carriage & then in the house with the carriage, we played soothing music & I rocked her, feed her, changed her, she was just having an off day. I called my mom & Nanny finally & they said she probably had a tummy ache & try apple sauce.... Apparently apple sauce helps... I didn't know this, but I was willing to try anything, I felt horrible for her. So we had apple sauce, I gave her a few little baby spoonfuls, she would quiet for a minute, taste it & look at me like, what is this.. it has flavor. Then cry again, so I don't think it helped but it was a nice treat.

I was supposed to go to my mother-in-laws house that evening for a basket party & was looking forward to getting out of the house, plus I love to show of my little munchkin. I wanted to at least wait for Pat to get home so I could see him for a few & he could see the baby, but around 7 we laid on my bed, I put her on my chest & rubbed her back & we both passed out from exhaustion. I woke up around 8 & put her in her pod, & immediately passed back out. I didn't wake up again till 11. She didn't wake up again till 4:30 am. So we both got some much needed rest.

Saturday ...... Taylor was having another day... She was upset all morning again, probably with "Bubble Guts" as my husband put it, another wonderful Pat-ism.. My step daughter Tori came over which was exciting cause I haven't seen her much since the baby was born & I was glad she was there to spend time with us & Taylor. Pat was home relatively early, so it was nice to have some family time. Now I was supposed to go to my sil's (Sister in laws) for the food party that night & was looking forward to it, but couldn't make it.We had errands to run & I wanted to spend time with my husband who works so hard & so much for our family, that time with him has become a rarity. So we took the kids to Home Depot, Pat's toys r us, & while he bored me & Tori with tools, we made our own fun. We found the Christmas section & we put on silly hats, picked out decorations, stockings, then we picked paint colors for her future room when we buy a house. Taylor slept the whole time, lucky, cause home depot is a snooze when you are there for tools. 



Then it was onto Shop rite. (glamorous I know) Now, this would be a reason I had to go even if I didn't want to. Pat is not allowed to go by himself cause he only comes home with meat. He doesn't realize that we eat/need other things besides meat. So while he stared at steak, I went up & down all the isles to get everything else...LOL. This is how is always is when we go. I get ALL the shopping done up to the frozen isles before he has picked out his steak... Cause it requires very careful choosing. This is one of things that drives me nuts but also why I love him.
By the time we dropped off Tori, stopped in to see Pop then got home & unloaded the car, it was almost 10:30. Then sleep, for Pat at least, Taylor & I were up most of the night.

Sunday... he worked & I had a lazy day with Taylor, we slept most of the day. Then we made dinner & watched TV then bed.

Here we are at Monday again. I managed to get Taylor out in the carriage for some fresh air this morning & went outside & tackled the deck finally, putting away all the patio furniture, fire pit, & coolers. Then I cleaned Pats plant room. I know this is his space & I promised to leave it alone but I couldn't take it anymore. So I just organized it, dusted, arranged some stuff & swept it.

My mommy is coming over tonight to help me put the crib together finally.. LOL.

Lissi comes home tomorrow.. Yippie!! I always miss her soo much when she is gone.

This week we have Dr's appts, we have to buy a car, finalize babysitting arrangements for the baby & Lissi before I return to work on Monday for 3 weeks.... Ugh. So this week is busy too & this weekend is Pat's birthday festivities... My hubby is going to be 31... So till next time...

* Any suggestions on how to get that stupid optimum online triple play commercial song out of my head... for days now all I hear in my brain is 877-333-4001...LOL. **
