Here we are at Tuesday
Apr. 26th, 2011 03:58 pmWell, the weekend was really fun. Benton got introduced to the rest of hrafnheim at our household meeting. It went really well and we got to help the Easter Laurel with her eggs. We discussed upcoming projects and the like and had a good time. Storvarr was down for the meeting and he and mel played borderlands before he headed back to Eds. Sunday was Gawd Awful Grail and we got there on time for court. Benton did pretty good all day but I think he had too much time out in the wind and was cranky by the time closing court happened. We headed home and storvarr joined us for dinner after we all got cleaned up. It was almost a month since we had been there last and the last one was after the baronial guard tourney and the night before Benton was born.
Had a nice dinner and then home to relax. We had managed to get Benton on a schedule for going to bed by 1030pm and it was working well until Monday night. Got up early on monday and got going to the fair grounds to pick up my entry and then it was home to feed the boy, get him a bath and pick up my mom from the airport. She had had a rough day. Sunday night they had called and her 750am flight was cancelled to DFW due to weather. So they put her on a 605am flight. She got to the airport and there was mechanical issues and got put on a different airline and a 750a flight to chicago. She got in about the same time as she would have before but it was a long day for her. We had lunch at mimi's and it was good minus the fact that the booth we were in was so narrow I couldn't get Benton to be comfy to feed cause of course when my food arrived he woke up and was hungry. Basically I had to have him under the table and crunch down to get him to feed. Not the best. Looks like tables from now on I think. Got home and got mom settled and the boy played for a while. Then we put him down for a nap and I think it was too long. Not sure but he was fussy and wide awake at 10pm. Thought I had him down at 11pm but nope..had to walk around with him and finally feed again to get him to snug down for the night. He woke me up at 530a and then was down again until about 845 but he wasn't hungry. We hung out and then finally got him fed and watched tv.
Since about noon my mom has been cleaning our bathroom. I feel bad but she wants to help out..it needs it and she's OCD about getting things spotless. Little boy was very awake throughout the early afternoon and he is finally down for his nap. Hoping we can get back on schedule tonight so I can get out and see some daycares. I hope to hit about 3 tomorrow if it works out. A few I called today didn't have openings or didn't take infants.
Mel is currently at the dentist. He broke a tooth (one that has been needing a crown to fix an old decaying filling) on Saturday. It didn't hurt so I'm betting he's going to need a root canal. I guess we will find out. I'm also betting he won't be heading to fight depending on what they do today. I was happy they got him in the day he called. We have an awesome dentist.
Called my kidney doc and have to get my labs done this week...including a 24 hour panel. Sighs. I hate those...a lot. Luckily this time I'm not pregnant so it shouldn't be as hard as it was last time. Course I hope it shows that Benton sucked out all of the extra calcium in my system so we are done with going to see a specialist but we shall see. Not that I've ever had any symptoms but never having kidney stones is a good plan.
Well, time to pull out the knitting since mom is still cleaning and boy is sleeping.
