... I've got the blues... and she's (not) got the rythym. (Sorry, Alan Jackson. I truly do love your music. Hope you don't mind the butchering of your lyrics)
What a grumpy weekend we both had.
It started off at daycare pickup, with a bit of a mixup, nothing serious but enough to bum me out and throw AK off. It then spiralled into AK telling me that she doesn't love me, that she doesn't have fun with me, and something else that must have been so awful that I've blocked it out. Sigh.
Friday night was salvaged with a movie and chicken nuggets and fries. Thank goodness.
Saturday dawned bright and not too early, and pretty much just as grumpy. We both cried over spilled milk. Oops. It was just that kind of a spill.
AK then decided she was a big girl and had her nap in the big bed. Fortunately she slept for 3 hours, unfortunately she peed the bed in those three hours. Fortunately the bed had a rubber cover on it, unfortunately when I went to wash the sheets, I found a cockroach in the closet that houses the washer/dryer.
Of course it took all I had to not scream every time I saw it, but I choked the shrieks down as I didn't want to frighten AK as well. I had a choice of disinfecting spray or furniture polish to blast the roach with. Ha. I don't know if the disinfecting spray worked or not as the roach disappeared when I turned away for a moment. I suppose I could move the ironing board to see if it's back there, but I'm not too keen to do so.
Saturday was salvaged by macaroni and cheese and dough balls. Salvation does not appear to be healthy.
Sunday was fairly minor with just some spilled yogurt drink, a fall off the couch and a finger slammed in the drawer (all AK, none me). Oh boy. Church was lovely (me) and fun (AK) and I'm sure AK was happy to get a break from me. This afternoon's nap resulted in a dry bed (hooray!) and a happy wake-up from AK as she knew we were off to Ben's birthday dinner after she woke up.
We had a blast with the other families at the birthday... swimming in the pool, looking for crabs on the beach, throwing rocks into the ocean, eating cake (smarty pants ate the icing off of both her little slices and just the cake of one piece) and playing with trains. The Huys are back from their holidays and it is GREAT to have them back. Gracie is working hard on walking and Matthew had some big hugs for AK when he first saw her.
This morning AK was "talking" on her kitchen phone. She told me that she wanted to call Matthew on the phone. So she called and I answered, pretending to be him. Let me tell you, AK was THRILLED to hear that Matthew was going to be at Ben's birthday later.
Oh, and the Friday night's "I don't love Mommy?" That was made up for plenty over the course of the weekend. Plenty of "I love you"s, hugs, kisses, even better, kisses from Barbie too!
Barbie goes EVERYWHERE with AK. AK lets Barbie pee on the potty first. AK lets Barbie sit on her lap while she eats and "shares" her food with her. We even put nailpolish on Barbie's fingers and toes today. When AK buckles up in the car, she puts Barbie under the straps too "to keep Barbie safe".
We did have a great Saturday morning too, we headed out for breakfast with the Babbs and then hit up the beach. It was a beautiful day and AK really enjoyed getting re-acquainted with Hunter's grandparents. They will be looking after AK in the afternoons this week so we were all anxious to get them together and see how AK got along with them. There are no concerns... she took to them like white on rice.
Sorry for the lack of posting over the weekend but trust that the tone of any posts would have been very grumpy and not very welcoming. You should thank me for keeping quiet! I just looked up the lunar cycle as I was hoping perhaps a full moon was to blame. Nope. I got no other guesses.
I think we are past the grumpies now and have lots of fun things to look forward to. Now that AK has decided she's a big girl and won't sleep in her toddler bed now, I can get rid of it and do some rearranging in that bedroom. I think I'll keep the big bed where it is but buy a new sheet set for it, and I'm thinking about how I can decorate the room otherwise. I bought some babushka doll decorations online and brought them back from Canada with me. AK says "badooska dolls". She loves them though, all I have up so far is her nameplate on her door, and I think she will really like the other stuff once it's up. I promise to put some photos up when the time comes!
Alright. Back to work tomorrow... better go get some stuff ready! xo
