ahh..Finally Friday. That means just a few more hours at work and then the weekend! The only thing really planned this weekend is a kid's birthday party on Saturday.
Weekends have sure changed for me. My weekends use to consist of going to rock clubs, staying up all night and sleeping in until afternoon. Wake up and do it all again. Now, I crash in bed before midnight. Get woken up by 8am (if I'm lucky) and start the day running after a crazy child. Will he nap or won't he? Will he eat or won't he? Will he be clingy or won't he? Everyday is a bit different and I can never really plan my day until I see what the little one will be like.
Roger works every other Saturday so on the days that its just me and the kid, I try to do things to keep us busy. For instance, tomorrow we have a birthday party to go to. On days that we don't have planned activities, I usually will end up at the mall with the kid buying more clothes for him. We'll go out to eat lunch and he'll play in the kiddie play area. Or we'll go to a park or do something to keep us entertained.
When Roger is home, we try to do family activities. I'm the one that has to plan our day or else the day would just consist of sitting in front of the tv watching sports. I check out the activities in the area and try to do something that is outside (since we live in Southern California and the weather is pretty decent for the most part!). That is, when I can pull him away from the tv and sports. Its football season. I like the games too but its really hard to watch them with a kid at home.
No plans for Sunday yet. But it should be a nice day outside so maybe we'll just play at home, lounge by the pool, throw balls, and get an ocassional peek at the games? We recently redid our backyard and now that's its complete, we haven't spent much time at home enjoying it. Now that would be a perfect day. Just chill at home, take a dip in the pool, cook out on the bbq and relax. What a concept!
