Hump Day!

This morning I woke up & surprised hubby & baby with some homemade French Toast, oh man it was yummy(at least the few bites I had were yummy!) After breakfast I wanted to do another favor for hubby & I volunteered to mow a large part of the lawn for him. This will be the 3rd time that I've mowed the lawn to help out because he just hates to do it & I try to take that stress off of him when I can.  After mowing the front I came inside to an unhappy hubby as I didn't mow straight lines & apparently the "bagger" was full. I seriously consider not doing it anymore but he seriously waits until the grass isn't looking so hot to do it! We have neighbors on both sides who are very into their lawns(watering several times a day/expensive neverending landscaping) so it's extremely hard to go outside & see that ours isn't always cut & fabulous like theirs.  I have to remember that my husband is lazy at times & with his schedule he doesn't have all the time to cut the grass since it's more than likely wet in the morning hours. My mother in law says to call the grass cutting service because it's not worth it to fight over who does it, how they do it, or when they do it but hubby doesn't want that; I am at a loss.

Completely Consumed

I will be the first to admit that a large chunk of my life is usually reserved for the viewing of my precious reality television, but lately I have been taken over by a new series! My new love is the series on Lifetime, Army Wives, I know that it's been on for a whole 5 seasons, but I adore it & have actually managed to accomplish this in oh...about a week and a half...that's about 18 episodes per season. I'm officially obsessed but I'm alright with it.

My schedule for tomorrow consists of getting up nice and early and taking the munchkin on a little endeavor with me to get the car inspected & registration updated. I sure hope that he can behave for all of this & that we can make it home & spend a little bit of time with Chris since we only have a bit of time before we leave for Virginia. 

Speaking of my trip to Virginia, I will be leaving on Friday morning headed up to spend a little time with friends and family. I'll be going up alone so I'm hoping with a little help from the DVD player that me and Bug can make the trip bareable. 

I haven't made any purchases lately, other than this pea green 3 quarters sleeve cardigan that I am in love with at the moment, it has the 3 cutest pin wheel flowers on the chest.  Well that is everything up to date, I'll type more, if more happens! :)

On this gorgeous day I am...

Sitting at my dining room table listening to March Madness(not by choice/simply from sheer laziness!) & my child loudly jabbing at the keys on his toddler piano. Our afternoon wagon play date has been cancelled by our neighbor, but we probably will still go, just a little later & on our dime which is obviously better for us. I'm totally unsure of what I'll be dining on for dinner as I've been horrible to my body lately but seem to have kept that previously mentioned 5 lbs off for the week.  I've mostly spent my week enjoying time with my little man & browsing through homes online back home, just trying to get a good feel for what's out there & where we even want to live as a family this time around. I really do wish a job would just "pop Up" for Chris, but with this economy I know how grateful we are for the one he has now.

Speaking of the one he has now, he hasn't been having a great time there & actually came home early on Tuesday, see his jobs has impossible standards; Chris is the best Operator they have there, best production, quality, & no customer complaints but that never is enough for 1 of his managers. Chris has been promised 1st shift since he took the job of operator almost 2 years ago when our whole life changed into this mess of a schedule wreck & has been lied to ever since, so he finally started asking questions now. Nobody has an answer so he's going to some pretty high up people wanting some justifications & hopefully he will get the answers he wants & we can figure this out in a way that will please everybody.

This weekend is the first full weekend he has had off in a looong time..
