Weekends. A time for relaxation and serenity! Not if you are a Janzen! I think it comes with marrying into the family. You always seem to have something going on or something always pops up!
Friday. This whole week at work I have been so exhausted. I can barely keep my eyes open at my desk and nothing was perking me up. Coffee, soda, music, certain TV on DVD, nothing. It was horrible. I had no motivation when I got to work and somehow made it through. In the evenings, I could have probably fallen asleep the moment I got home and slept through the night. I didn't though. To make matters worse, I woke up every night this past week for about 5 minutes. Just having that small interruption threw me off. Up until about 3:25pm on Friday afternoon I was exhausted. The drive home from work was an eye opener! What happened to this "dusting of snow". It was probably the worst commute I have had. Nothing was plowed and the it was just awful. I didn't get home till 4:45. We decided to have a at home date night. We waited for our dinner and ran Jake out of energy till about 7:15. He was begging to go to bed! We then had a cooking date. Which I love! We made an amazing dinner, just for 2. I love cooking together. It's something we both enjoy and have a lot of fun doing. After a delicious stir fry, we watched a movie together. It was a perfect evening! He still gives me butterflies.
Saturday morning we woke up and got ready for the day. We got our taxes done! Eh oh! One of my favorite parts of winter. We then headed to my parents house. I had a little surprise for them. I had bought Norah Jones tickets a few weeks back and they finally came in. I think my dad was surprised. I had already told my mom. I hope they enjoy a lovely evening out. We chatted for a bit and then we headed home. I had about an hour to make myself "yes, she is my friend" worthy and then met up with the ladies at JC Mall. First of all, it took me about 20 minutes to park. The snow needs to go away. It takes up way too many parking spots. Plus it was the wrestling tournament. Mall was on overload. After a fantastic pedicure which was entertaining in so many ways, we headed to dinner. It was a 40 minute wait at the Cheesecake Factory. Thanks to Beth we were able to get a table top in the bar pretty quickly. That girl can stalk a table better than anyone I know. I did get sung to (thanks Beth) but all is well! It was great to be able to go out just us ladies!! We do not get to do it enough but it was a lot of fun. The rest of the night consisted of starting laundry. Always a fun job on the weekends!!
I have no idea what has come over me today. If I were pregnant and in the nesting stage, I could understand. I am not though. We had to run a few errands this morning. We finalized the flooring we are putting in and we grabbed a ton of paint examples for the hallways, our bathrooms and our bedroom. We still have to figure out what to do with Jake's room but it's going to be very hard to paint over all that work my parents did. After running errands and grocery shopping, we came home for a very late lunch and Jake went down for a nap. I then went into psycho cleaning mode. I cleaned out our "junk" drawer. Then I moved to the coat closet and cleaned out all that and then went through the cupboards. One body bag trash bag later, all organized. I then kept up with the laundry and went through some of Jake's old clothes. I feel so much better! Haha. We haven't really done much the rest of the evening. We try to no do much on Sunday evenings. We made dinner as a family, which Jake loves to do. We colored and read for about 3 hours and then Jake went to bed. Since then Michael and I just have been canoodling on the couch and debated about going to bed early! Bunch of old farts we are! Oh well. I'd pick this evening over and over again!It was suppose to snow, but has yet to spit out a flake anywhere around us. It's always the opposite of what they predict! I'll take it though!!
