~Are You Sure It's Monday???~

I feel like it is Monday.

Seriously.  This whole weekend I was screwed up on my days... So when my alarm went off at 5:40 this morning, I was a little out of it.

I wish it wasn't Monday.

I feel like I need more of a break.

Like I almost didn't get enough rest or a long enough break, you guys get what I mean?

This weekend was busy-busy and I only once felt like I was getting a break...

That was Saturday afternoon when I took a nap with my babies...

A TWO HOUR NAP!!!

Can I get a Woo Hoo??

Yep, after we got home from grocery shopping, a trip to Costco and getting lunch, Rowan, Zach and I took a nap while Derek did some work outside.

OMG.  I can tell you that I so needed that nap too.  All morning long (on Saturday) I felt like crap.  I was sick to my stomach and just wasn't feeling like myself.  I didn't want to eat and I didn't want to do anything!  So when the kids started to act tired, I just took them and put them in bed with me and we were out for 2 hours.

Ah, it was bliss.

That was about the only bliss that I got on Saturday :)

The rest of the day was spent chasing around two children... Rowan is the fastest 3 1/2 year old I know and Zach has mastered the army crawl so well that he has become Speedy Gonzalez!!

Chasing and caring for kids while trying to clean isn't the easiest things to do!  Especially when one of your babies isn't feeling up to par and has decided that he wants to cling to you like a baby monkey! 

Yep, Zach has decided that he doesn't like to be put down and never wants to be left alone.

I guess it is the whole seperation anxiety thing that is kicking in.

But I have to say, he did a whole lot better on Sunday with his sleeping thing.

He actually fell to sleep twice on his own yesterday with no problem.  No me rocking him and no having to go back and forth and popping the binky back into his mouth!!

It was nice.

Speaking of yesterday, we had Derek's birthday party.

We just had the family over and bbq'd some tri-tip and had some yummy snack foods.  We watched some football and had cake and cupcakes and ice cream!!

A diet is so calling my name...

Anyways... I'm not going to talk about dieting because I still have birthday cake and cupcakes at home.  I'll think about that when they are gone ;)

But it was nice having everyone over and spending some time with them.  Rowan loves to play with her cousins and boy was she tired last night.  She racked out at 830pm... And she is never asleep that early.  Guess it was good that she didn't have a nap yesterday afternoon!

She was actually so tired this morning that she fell back to sleep on the couch this morning after I left for work.  Derek said he came out to get her dressed and she had crashed out.  Then when he sent her to her room to get dressed she climbed into her bed and got under the covers! 

Poor thing.  I'm sure she'll be taking a good nap after she gets home from school today.

She better too because she has gymnastics tonight.  She needs to go!!  And she doesn't need to be a bear when she is there either... So Derek better make sure she takes a good nap!!

This afternoon I have to go to the DMV (eek!) to pick up my personalized plates for the Tahoe.  I have a 350pm appointment there so I hope I can get in and get out really quickly.  I am sure it will help that I have an appointment.  Now, just to get Derek to put the plates on ;)  I went FOREVER with out plates on my PT because he just didn't feel like putting them on!

Well guys, I need to get a going.

Many things to do.  I feel like a chicken with my head cut off... That or someone that is being pulled in all directions!

Have a great Monday Friends.
