Well I’d love to say that my allotted time for the week out at the horses went well and the weather cooperated, but I can’t, and I wish I didn’t have to mention how I sprained my pinkie toe, but alas I do.
T-man and Chad had plans to go to the husky vs usc game (go huskies, blah) so I was going to go out to the boys until about 3:30. I woke up late again but I told T-man that I was going to make myself some breakfast and clean out my car-baby free! YES! I’ve been anxious to clean out my car for more than a week. It’s justa bit hard to do with a 5 month old in tow. So, as I hit the ground running to get those chores done to get to the boys and be back by 3:30, I slammed my little toe into the front door. It wasn’t one of those owwwww! types of stubbings, it was the silent pain where you can’t really move or speak or even grunt. You have to hold your breath and pretend that if you don’t move or breathe, it didn’t happen.
So much for my horse time. I went anyway but knowing that I would not work with Casper with a gimpy foot. Not a chance. If that little guy thought he had a larger than usual advantage on me I’d be well, horsemeat (figuratively). So, what else to do when you are baby free and feeling a bit lost? I called up Kit to see if she was up for a visit. I had a strange feeling of needing to be seen today without my daughter by someone who knows me. Strange sensation. I think another part of that is that Kit really sees me. And I needed that. Thanks Kit! She gets it.
It was great to see her kids too having the time of their lives on their new rainbow play structure. The thing was awesome. We are going to have to move just to get some yard to put one of those things some day. Although as a new mom I looked at it in 2 parts glee and two parts horror. All those hard edges and places to fall from, jump from, get tangled in and generally scrape up the body on. Yikes! I imagine that in time I’ll come to respect the resiliency and and elasticity of the human child. As for now….no swings for Nina!
On the way home from Kit’s I stopped at a tack sale and looked at a nice western saddle. it was going cheap so I brought it over to Casper to see if it fit him. The bad news: Too tight, the good news: he accepted the saddle beautifully. Way to go Casper!
T-man and Chard left for the game and we just stayed home the rest of the night. I actually turned on the GAME, yes you read that right honey, I actually turned the channel to the game. Not totally sure why. And no, it doesn’t make me a fan.
Roo really passed out for most of the night. She was really tired. I’m guessing she’ll be up early though-we’ll see. I had a ton of fun playing with her by the window. She loves to look up at the trees. They just crack her up! Its so sweet. I love her laugh. When she smiles it just fills a room with sunshine.
Weighed my self this morning, only 6 pounds to go to get PPW(pre pregnancy weight) WOW! I went on a clothes frenzy and tried on everything in my closet that had been taunting me. They all fit in-fact some are too big. Its strange, I’m still heavier overall but, but my waist is smaller and my tummy is flatter. Its all about the gluten free baby! I’m loving it. Those extra 6 pounds could easily be hiding out in my magnificent breastfeeding breasts. TMI?
Kit came over later and we had some tea and some baked bananas- yummy!
Weather: Nasty, rainy
Food: Spaghetti squash and turkey roll ups, baked banana with chocolate
Mood: quiet and cozy
