Seven Things I Loved This Weekend

1.  We had a sleepover with the youngest of the kids that I used to nanny for. When I started there, he was two and now he's an awesome 10 year-old! We got burgers, played games and watched Hook! Love that movie & this munchkin!  His laughter gets me every time! 

 

  

2.  Receiving a SLEW of packages from one of my best friends from college that lives in New York. She told me it was because she didn't think that she ever got us a wedding present, but I know it's because she's already loving Little B!  The mailman loves her and the extra work that she gave him too! :)

3.  Finishing the first book of The Hunger Games! I'm enjoying it, but not obsessed.  Some parts are very far-fetched for me, but the story and the characters are interesting.  I'm sure that I'll see things totally different then the movie once it comes out, but I really enjoy comparing what I imagine and what the screenwriters for a movie do.

4.  Tim and I are having an ongoing battle with toilet paper. He thinks it's hysterical, while I'm beginning to cave. It started with the fact that we didn't have a trash can in our actual "loo" so one day Tim complained because he found 2 empty rolls in the bathroom that hadn't been put away. He described it as a homeless camp. Then friends of ours had a public outcry on facebook regarding the correct direction that the toilet paper should come off of the roll. I had to explain that one to Tim. Now every time I go to the restroom I notice that he's changed the toilet paper to go in the "wrong direction" just to see if I catch it, or maybe to irritate me. You choose. Each time, I change the Charmin back to the correct way without saying a word.  Now we've reached a problem in the phases of the war on toilet paper and he's succumbed to this:

This is NOT GOOD no matter how you look at it.  I've got to come up with some retaliation!

5.  Not this weekend, but late last week my Mom brought me this box...because she had a coupon. That's right, Little B is already forcing family members to clip coupons for the necessities!  I mean don't get me wrong, I gladly except expressions of love in the form of diapers, at least for the next two years! I just thought it was hysterical that baby things are showing up in all kinds of shapes & sizes, especially when  I least expect it (or should I say where -- she brought these to the office).

6.  My Grandfather had shoulder surgery on Friday and even though I've been told that he's been sort of a pain in the patient department, I am excited & happy that it all went well and that with the right amount of physical therapy he'll be back to doing the things he loves (GOLF!) hopefully by summer!  First stop, shoulder surgery...next stop meeting Little B!

7.  Putting together the last piece of furniture for Little B's room. There's no more room so that's got to be it. I know that there will always be toys and things to assemble, but phew that furniture stuff can be a bit tricky! I'll be posting pictures of the room later on. There's too much goodness in there and really I'm just not ready to share.  Call me selfish...I'll live.

Stay tuned for another post this week about something I'm not loving...HORMONES (shhh! Rule#1 don't talk about them in front of me - I refuse to be affected by them)!
