Tired Weekend

This post is for AnnaMarie. :)  There's a new post below the To Do list too... I just updated the to do list and the date on the post changed too.

Had a good weekend so far.  Exhausting though, thanks to Lila.  Her fever came back on Friday and she's still teething.  Last night she was up from 5-7am, so we slept in and went to the KUB instead of 9:00 1st ward.  I was crying right along with Lila for a few minutes, desperately tired.  Have not been sleeping well lately.

Anyway.  Friday, Emily came over.  We went to Joann Fabrics to look for fabric for curtains but didn't find anything, so we're going to hit up another store tomorrow.  If we can't find anything there, I'll just buy something at Target.  Lila had diarrhea there and cried for milk, she had a fever, so I sat down in the middle of the aisle (it was in a secluded part of the store) and nursed her.  That's the kind of day we had.

From there, we quickly stopped at Lowe's to pick up paint for the guest bathroom.  I decided on a paint color that morning, just looking at paint swatches, and just went for it.  I got a whole gallon but could've done the whole bathroom with a quart.  We have almost the whole gallon leftover.  The color is Rattan by Martha Stewart.  Becca Burkhead had told me that bathrooms are the worst to paint, but actually, this was really easy and quick.  Took a few hours tops.  It looks good.  And that's one thing scratched off my to do list.  Still lots more to do.

Friday night was a little lame, or pretty lame, because Jake spent 5 hours after work helping the Randalls (his boss's family) move everything from their storage units into a barn at Jen's grandma's.   Luckily, Mike stopped by at 7 and stayed till Jake got home at almost 11 because he was waiting to hear back from Cassandra's dad.  He'd called Kirk earlier that day, saying that he wanted to talk to him privately, and Kirk said he'd call Mike back when he was done with his errands, but Kirk never called back.  So Mike was bummed about that.  He was going to have the proposal talk.  So I at least had some company, but Lila slept pretty restlessly all night, so she was up a lot too.

Yesterday we went to the farmers market and then met up with Derek and Alicia Thompson and their two kids at the Oshtemo Fun Day.  We had hot dogs and walked around the little booths there.  But didn't stay too long.  It started storming right after we ate, so we left.  Lila took a VERY short nap, like 30-40 minutes.  When she woke up, she and Jake left to pick up Andre, who we haven't seen all summer.  And while they were gone, I finished painting the bathroom.  Feels good to have that done!

We played a few rounds of Monopoly Deal.  After we dropped Andre off, we drove around a while and stopped at a few stores.  Lila fell asleep in the car, thankfully.

When we got home, it was dinnertime.  Frank Whitaker came over to change his oil.  He'd never done it before on his own, so Jake helped, and Frank used Jake's ramps.  He invited us to eat with them, and we didn't eat till almost 8pm.  It was kind of funny.  It was Kate's first time making a roast, and she hadn't started it early enough, so it was still pretty raw when we went to eat it.  I had to stick mine in the microwave because I just couldn't eat it.  Lila was pretty tired by the end of the meal.

Jake fell asleep on the couch while I put Lila to bed.  And I stayed up way too late (midnight) trying to find a paint color for our bedroom.

Church at the KUB was good, but weird.  Somebody passed out during sacrament meeting so an ambulance was called.  Lila took a good nap when we got home and Jake and I got to relax a little.  I'm so glad he's a good dad and husband.
