Yesterday I woke up at 5:30 am and quietly crept out of the house to meet some girlfriends (sans baby) for Starbuck's. We visited until about 7:15 when they had to head out to work and I drove home to relieve Skyler from "Daddy duty" as he had to leave at 7:30 for his orientation for nursing school (yahoo!). Zeek woke up to nurse and then...back to sleep. And slept until almost 11:30 am! I know this kid loves sleeping, but sometimes he surprises me with exactly how much he loves sleep. :) We ran a couple errands after he woke up (to Target and Lowes) and after 2 hours he was ready for another nap, which lasted another 2 hours! All of this led to a
very productive day for me! I LOVE those days when I feel like I can just crank out a bunch of things from my "to-do" list...makes the days that I sit in my pj's until 2 pm feel a little more reasonable... right?
Are you curious what all I accomplished yesterday by the time Skyler got home? ME too! (I love seeing my "to-do" list's diminish!)
Done:
-2 loads of laundry
-dishes
-vacuumed the whole house
-straightened up the living room and kitchen
-sewed 2 bibs, 2 burp cloths and a receiving blanket for a baby shower this weekend
-made up 2 gallon sized bags worth of ice cubed baby food for Zeek (beets and broccoli)
- read a chapter of my current book in my
Unread Library - The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura Schlessinger
-primed a bookcase, a dresser, two candlesticks and a "toolbox" with white paint (ready for painting today!)
-pulled weeds
-made sausage jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon for dinner!
Ok, that doesn't all look like a ton now that I've written it out... but it sure felt like a ton! :)
Skyler loved the jalapeno poppers! They were really good and quite easy to make too. I stumbled upon the recipe
here and since I had all the ingredients, thought I'd try it out.
I'll show you the bookcase and dresser when I'm finished! One step closer to making our {completely blah, bland, nothing in it, nothing on the walls, space that we like to call our} master bedroom done!
And here's a little Zeek cuteness to leave you with. :)
Fat Boy loves a good swing!
{P.S. This hairy hand is NOT mine. It's Skyler's, thankyouverymuch.}
Do you miss seeing Zeek? I feel weird since I haven't posted much about him since I finished his alphabet a little more than a month ago... I think I may rectify that soon. :)
Have you felt productive recently? Don't you just love those days?! Starbuck's days are always productive days for me. Maybe I should start getting up at 5:30 more often!? ...
.. HAH. Nevermind. I'm productive enough when I wake up at 9. :)
So, now what's on my "to-do" list today?
To-Do:
-paint bookcase
-paint dresser
-paint candlesticks
-paint "toolbox"
-sand and paint trim piece for under window seat
-puree and freeze honeydew and mango for Zeek
-put together/wrap baby shower gift
-dishes
-get more paint from Lowe's
-pick up some baby shower and wedding cards
-read another chapter of my book
I'll let you know how I do. :)
Love, K
