I used mine on Saturday, I think. But I haven't filled in this week and am eating alone tonight. Something that would not have been a surprise had I set mine up for this week. On the other hand, I didn't have time.
The apartment is quieter now so I should take advantage.
It was a good day after a 9 hour night in bed but still I'm exhausted because my brain can't be quiet for a moment while dgsM2 is here.
Dd had a rude awakening because the window guys showed up 100 minutes early. And then they discovered the guys would be working from the outside as well as inside so they had to prep their basement window wells and shovel a path to them.
She got here before 9 and dgdJ0 was an absolute doll except a short time of crying because dh was holding her and she wanted to be fed.
Dd was going a bit bonkers at one point thinking dgd wanted to feed again so I took her and we cleaned up the kitchen together. She fell asleep in the football hold and I got all the breakfast and lunch prep dishes into the dishwasher and the table set.
Dgs deliberately attempted to step on his sister which shocked dd. I already had the playpen in the living room ready to set up so set it up and we put her in there from that point when no-one was holding her. Dgs helped me put in the baby crib play centre and she seemed to really like that so dd relaxed a bit for a few minutes. This only works until dgs gets big enough to try and climb in as well, but for now it is a solution. Dd is so tired, she didn't even think there was a solution!
My childhood best friend enjoyed meeting my grandkids and and a bit of a cuddle with dgd.
Dh was very helpful in the morning so I got my shower in while the cornbread was in the oven before breakfast.
Dgs helped make the cornbread and the quiche. So he had lots of time cooking with Nana.
So it was a good day.
But I'm exhausted! My dinner tonight will likely be dgs' leftover dinner from last night.
