Wacky weird weekend....
Nov. 7th, 2011 03:48 pmIts the monday before southern and I'm not even close to finishing everything that needs to get done. I have lots to do and well my motivation for doing any of it is at an all time low. I don't know what is up with that but there it is.
Friday we all slept in and had a nice morning. Benton went to his helmet check up and things are progressing really nicely. He's in normal range on one of the numbers already! Not bad for a month in. We then dropped him off at daycare before going home to work on things and then get ready to go to Chuck's retirement. It was a nice ceremony. I knit all of the way through it. The speakers were nice and lots of good stories. We headed home and mel made bread and then we changed clothes, picked up the boy and headed to the party. Chuck's sisters and mom were all cooking up a storm and it was all really, really good. Benton took a nap for a while before we left and then managed to roll himself off of the bed while I was getting the diaper bag. He was fine but man that scares the crap out of me. Heck he didn't even cry. We got home a bit late but it was nice to see folks.
Friday night the weather turned cold and we had a huge wind storm and then monsoon like rains. I was up for a good few hours with the wind and the storm and then Benton was a bit restless too. So saturday morning was very early. Ms. Ari arrived about on time and we quickly got on the road after some final additions to the car. We made it to site for coronation to discover that is was an slightly sealed outdoor gym for site and the boy didn't have socks. It all worked out and I was glad I packed wool and my coat. The courts were nice and pretty short to some of the ones we have been to. I had a nice time crocheting on my shawl, playing with Benton and chatting with a few folks. We headed to BJ's brewery on the way home and that was a nice time. Got home and then it was a trial to get the boy to bed. He was over tired and not wanting to go down for bed. Storvarr arrived and I went to bed not too late. At 4am, Benton woke up screaming and I do mean screaming. I finally ascertained he was hungry but it wasn't normal hungry. I think it was just an off day and after a good meal he drifted off to sleep. Nevertheless we all slept in until 830am.
Storvarr was a faboo apprentice and made coffee. Then we headed out for errands. Mel worked on getting beef and barley done and working in the shop. I fed the boy and then headed out for more errands. I needed to pick up warmer weather stuff for the boy and hit up Big Lots, Ross, Famous Shoes, Petco and Target. I did get myself some tennis shoes and but scored a little sleep sak for him that is awesome and $5.
I got home, fed the boy and put him down for a much needed nap and then picked up the kitchen a bit before starting dinner. Now dinner would have been awesome if I hadn't run out of propane in the middle of it and had to switch things to the oven, if Benton hadn't had a screaming fit and if we'd all been a bit more coherent. Needless to say things worked out after I got some gripewater down his throat but it was a frustrating hour or so of screaming and crying and a boy who was obviously really tired and gassy. I think it was the milkshake I'd had on saturday. Bleah. Very emotionally draining for a breastfeeding mother. The boy was finally in bed sometime after 830 or so and we all set to drinking. Its amazing how funny some shows are while a bit buzzed. We all went to bed really late and got up early due to boy again crying very early. I'm thinking he's cold or growing or starting to teeth again...not sure. Hopefully tonight will be better.
So, lots to do before southern and not a lot of time to do it. I need to buckle down and do more laundry and get stuff packed up for the kitchen. Just a few more things we need for that but its final stuff like ice, propane and half and half. I do need to make a tunic but I will have to see if I can do it. I need to wash and block benton's sweater tonight and get things going on that front. Well, here is to a happy baby and getting things done.
