Well this weekend was quite a busy one! Saturday and Sunday Matt spent a lot of time doing chores around the house. He did a lot of computer stuff, mowed the lawn, balanced the checkbook (more on that later), helped me out with stuff.. etc.. I cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed, did a load of laundry, etc... Just a busy weekend. It's nice to catch up though.
I wanted to get the majority of it done this weekend so next weekend wouldn't be filled with chores. I'm hoping that next weekend can be very relaxing. Our 6th anniversary is on Saturday and besides a party that morning for a friend's little girl, we don't have much going on. I'm thinking a trip to the farm or park is in store on Saturday and church on Sunday since we just didn't make it there today. I was hoping we would.. but... Matt and I both slept poorly and Maddy was up at 12:30 last night for a little bit. By the time she got up and I got up, then Matt got up... we were all just dragging and there was no way the three of us would be ready in an hour to leave for church at 9.
That doesn't mean that we didn't have fun this weekend either. I went and got my haircut today at Ulta. I love it so far. She really cut off a TON of hair and thinned/layered it out quite a bit. She really took a lot of time and pride in her work. I'm excited to wash it myself tomorrow morning after my workout. Matt went to Transformers tonight and I hope it's really good for his sake! I mean, come on, you can't crush a little boy's memory of transformers of all things. That would be like crushing my memory of Rainbow Brite or My Little Ponies or Care Bears!
Matt was so helpful this weekend in so many ways. Yesterday he balanced the checkbook for me because we were off a LOT compared to what the bank had us at (we were lower, so we weren't in any danger). Well, so happens I forgot to add in two of Matt's paychecks and also forgot to take off some payments. So in the long run they had 10 fold what I thought we had in the checkbook. Hhahaha...oops! Well, the last time we balanced the checkbook was in September! But I was quite pleased with Matt. He never once got crabby at the fact I missed stuff or even really teased me about it. See, it's my job to pay the bills and keep everything in check, but it's his job to balance the checkbook. If you ask me, he got the raw end of the deal. Then again, if he only balances it twice a year, maybe not?
Also, he took Maddy grocery shopping for me yesterday. I was going to go along, but he said he'd go for some stuff and we'd go for the rest today. We needed milk; we were completely out! We can't be out of milk with a 19 month old in the house! Well, he bought EVERYTHING on the list. I was so impressed. It was a full weeks worth of groceries.
Then today, my hair appointment ran later than I thought it would so I was later getting home. I called Matt to tell him I was on my way and he asked what I wanted cut up for the crab salad we were having for dinner. By the time I got home, he had preprepped ALL the vegetables and was boiling the macaroni! All I had to do was put together the salad. I was so impressed.
As I said, he's off to see Transformers and it's a well deserved and quite well earned rest on his part!
Busy, busy this week. Tomorrow I have VBS and the tree getting transplanted. Tuesday I have VBS. Wednedsay I have VBS, playgroup that I'm hosting and Bunco night. Thursday we have baby ballet and Coffee night. Friday I have Maddy's 18 month shots (yep, 2 months late). Saturday AM we have a birthday party and our anniversary.
Ok, well, I'm off to do some yoga. Have a good week everyone!
Tea of the day: The rest of the Green Chai sun tea, but I made more today.
WO of the day: Nothing much, I will need to get up EARLY this week to do my workouts. There won't be much time during the week. I think I may pop in a candlelight yoga now while Matt is gone though.
