Weekend Summary

Monday, September 29th, 2008

The weekend went pretty fast for me, but we got a lot done on the home front and in Binary Boy’s nursery. 😀

Friday:
– Went for my 35th week (!) prenatal appointment at the birthing center. Binary Boy is still breech. Acupuncture was highly recommended. External version was recommended and can only be done through week 37. That gives him 2 weeks max. If I forgo the version and he doesn’t turn, it’s a cesarean for sure. 🙁
– Ate at Taco Bueno after getting stuck in traffic on the way home from the appointment and realizing we were starving. Sorta reminds me of Del Taco.
– Back at home, we watched a few shows and relaxed.
– I did more of my “breech baby exercises”.

Saturday:
– Washed all of Binary Boy’s nursery linens, ironed them and made-up his crib. Put diapers in diaper stacker. Folded the rest of his clothing and put away in drawers. Kev put together a small shelving unit for the nursery, too. His room is 95% finished now!
– Ate lunch in.
– Kev put together two storage/file units that matches our computer desks. We now have a place to put our stuff in the office.
– Did lots and lots of other ironing that was piling up.
– Did breech baby exercises.
– Made dinner and watched another show.

Sunday:
– Ran errands. Post office, Staples, lunch at Taco Cabana, Whole Foods. Then home.
– Finally watched Grey’s Anatomy premiere. Took a break at the half-way point to put away the clean dishes from the dish washer.
– Did more breech baby exercises.
– Took a warm bath and ate some sorbet in bath. This was actually recommended to me by the midwives. Seriously.. I wouldn’t be taking a bath if I didn’t have to. I hate baths.

A lot of time was spent at home this weekend, but we both got SO much done. And other than Binary Boy’s head being up near my ribs, I’ve been feeling great about everything. 🙂

How was your weekend?

Another Short Weekend

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

This weekend went by too fast. I’m bummed. I’m noticing that all my weekends seem to fly by too quickly and that I dread going into work on Mondays. Actually, make that every day.

It’s not the work that bothers me completely, it’s partially the getting up so much earlier than I have to be there just to brave the traffic. Oh well, guess I’ll just have to find a way to work from home so I can stop yammering about the traffic, hmm? 😉

Several years ago, I did work at home for a summer editing audio lectures. It was boring and sometimes stressful work, but I still loved it because I got to do it in my pjs! Unfortunately, I can’t go back to that specific job because they downsized. I learned a lot from that job, but the best thing I learned was that I had the discipline to work from home and not surf the web the entire day.

It makes me blissful just thinking about it. I have to find another job I can do from home! Anyone know of any good home-based businesses out there that doesn’t involve something weird and scam-ish? 😆
