Tuesday was draining
Oct. 26th, 2011 10:15 amWell, work was just a bit crazy with paperwork and meetings and I have to have my cubicle packed up for a "mass move" by 4pm Friday. So I started with a few boxes late in the day and purged some old stuff that had been hanging around since my days at Caterpillar. Yeah, that old. Mel texted me that he had gotten a $50 gift cert to Claim Jumper for doing a good job and offered to take me to dinner for our anniversary. So after I picked up the very happy boy (who had just had a poop-splosion(tm) at daycare we headed out to dinner. It was nice and Benton did really well up until just the end of dessert. We then headed to Babies R Us for more Benton stuff and picked out what we want to get Viktor for christmas.
Got home and did bottles, we got the baby washed up and then he wasn't really ready for bed even though it was 2.4 hours past his bed time. I was a bit cranky by that point and he finally fell asleep a bit after 10pm. The one funny thing was when he was rolling around his crib his velcro on the helmet got him tangled in his afghan and he had to be rescued. Funny but true.
I got to bed just a bit late and then read more. I finished up "Kitty and the Midnight Hour" a bit ago which was #17 for the year and I started All Wound Up: The Yarn Harlot Writes for a Spin. Stephanie makes me realize I'm not crazy or maybe not too crazy and I'm okay with my fiber/crochet/knitting addiction. I really do need the shirt "I knit so I don't kill people".
Tonight is the first officer's meeting I will have attended since stepping down from being Baroness. I'm a bit nervous. But I think things will be okay and I have a good deputy to train up. Its not like I haven't done this job before (seneschal)but its still shiny and new with this regime of B&B and officers set. I'll try not to be too scary.
The new car seats for the boy arrived yesterday and I hope to try to get them installed in at least the fit on Thursday. Gonna have to make sure the pack n play is set up in the mornings to corral Benton since he's been a terror and getting into EVERYTHING he can and can not readily grab. But it will be nice for him to have more room.
I also booked our trip home for Thanksgiving. We are flying a discount airline that has a direct flight from Mesa's Falcon Field to Joe Foss Field in SD. Its discount but they sure hit you with fees throughout the process. Its still cheaper than American Airlines and its a night flight and direct no stops but I still wonder if its worth the hassle of the drive. We shall see.
