Partied Out

I must be getting old when I can't handle partying anymore. My body had not recovered from the Dead show last weekend and the chaos of this weekend's partying is taking it's toll. On Saturday, I had Brian's 40th bday party which was more like a kid fiesta than an adult party but everyone had a good time. I honestly think everyone was thrilled to have their kids burn off tons of energy while the adults ate and drank. An easy bedtime for all! I drank a little too much wine and didn't eat enough so I was feeling the affects of wine stomach around 2 AM. I really wanted to stay in and sleep on Sunday but my friends Joe & Heather's baby boy Sam was getting baptized. I guess that's the hidden Catholic side of me coming out because if I wasn't so lazy I would go to church every Sunday. I just think baptism is the beginning of a journey for a newborn and is an amazing first milestone in such a young life ( more hidden Catholic....).

After the baptism, Joe was having a little BBQ. I've lost my baby touch...I was holding big Sam who's now 3 months old and he was so squirmy I thought I was going to drop him! We ended up staying at Joe's until 6 PM and I had a few glasses of wine there too...How can you not have a few glasses of wine when you're hanging out w/good friends on a beautiful day? I'm so tired and my house is still a bit of mess from Brian's party. I feel like I gained back the 5lbs I lost but Ezell's fried chicken is worth it..I ate two pieces today. Come Tuesday I'm swearing off the alcohol and getting back to the gym but I'll still be eating that Ezell's until it's gone....

A Day in the Life

I'm trying to take a positive approach and decided to list out the good and bad things that happened to me today in an effort to prove my day was not as bad as it seemed.

BAD

1. 15lb. cat kept walking on me as I slept, waking me up
2. Alex up at 6 AM..again
3. Stepped barefoot in cat vomit as I got out of bed
4. At breakfast, Alex threw a roll of paper towels, hit my full cup of coffee which spilled all over me
5. School drop off during Monsoon, got soaking wet
6. School drop off, minivan grazes my car because she doesn't know how to parallel park
7. Katie doesn't take a nap so between 5 - 7 PM she is miserable.
8. Alex is miserable by 7:30 PM since he has been getting up at 6 AM for the last 2 days.
9. Not drinking because of the calories involved
10. Husband home before 6 PM but not listening once again on how to handle Alex when miserable makes situation worse

GOOD

1. Made it to my Yoga class for the first time in a few weeks
2. Ate a handful of M&M's (which probably equalled the calories of my Martini)
3. Rain stopped prior to school pick-up
4. Found all the library books since they're due tomorrow.

Well, there you have it! Not a very stellar day tomorrow can only be better.

Norman the Cat

Poor Norman my old fat cat. He went to his annual check up and his weight is over 15 lbs. At least the vet. said he was big boned afterall! Norman needs to take an antibiotic and ear drops for the next week and so the vet. showed me how to give him a pill and do the ear drops. I thought no problem....I was wrong. The cat is pretty PO'd with me right now and didn't even sleep with me for a night. Brian and I have to work together to give the cat the pill...Brian wrenches the cat's head back and peels open his mouth and I then drop the pill in and flush it with a dropper of water. It's quite traumatic for all of us. The cat even found a new hiding place in the house this morning and it took me 20 minutes to find it. As for the ear drops, I manage to get them in his ear but usually can't hold his head tight enough. I then get sprayed by the stuff flying out of his ear after he thrashes his head around. I feel so bad that I'm going to hurt him but if he just hold still damn it....it wouldn't be so bad. I'm really dreading having to get up early every day this week to make sure the cat gets the pill before Brian leaves for work. Hopefully he doesn't claw me this week.

So this is a totally boring post..ha ha ha ha ha. I'm tired but it's not 9 o'clock yet so it's too early to go to bed so I'm wasting time on the computer.
