September 6th 2010

Today started as they all do, with Mason waking up and wanting to be nursed. That is the best way to wake up unless of course you're up until after 1:00 a.m. because you were watching movies with your older son. Then that 0600 (sometimes earlier) wake up call hurts.

I started walking with a neighbor recently. We normally walk at 8:00 a.m. and today I just couldn't bring myself to get out there on time which is completely out of the ordinary for me. I'm almost neurotic about being on time. I think that I deal with this person in a passive aggressive manner at times. She likes for me to be outside and in front of her house (we're separated by one house) before she comes outside. I've tried text messaging her and letting her know that I'm ready and that's usually followed by, "Are you here?" *sigh*

I was expecting someone to pick up the couch to be reupholstered at 9:30. The guy was late because he forgot about us. I got a phone call a couple of hours later. He'd seen my missed phone calls and it jogged his memory. At least the thing got picked up. I should make a note that he told me $400 over the phone and when I got to his shop last week it was $500. I thought to ask him today if he would meet me in the middle, I'd pay $50 more and he could take off $50. He wasn't here so I didn't ask. I am grateful though that they picked up my couch.

I took a long shower which was nice. I'd prepared some oil with shredded ginger the night before and added that to my shampoo. Exfoliated and shaved my legs (they seriously needed it). I signed online to Yahoo only to see that my husband who is currently deployed had messaged me and signed off not more than 6 minutes prior. I really want to beat myself when things like that happen.

After the couch was picked up I started to feel ill and laid down. Of course Mason wanted to be nursed to sleep and I just wanted to lay down for just a moment.

These are the highlights of my day so far. If anything changes I'll be sure to hop right back on and blog about it ;)
