As For the Rest of the Week...

Well here is how it went down:

Wednesday

Happy birthday boyfriend!  Ryan's birthday went well.  Low key, but it was fine.  Stella didn't get much sleep the night before (remember the sickness?), which in turn meant her mom and dad didn't get much sleep.

Ryan didn't end up having class until 10:30, so that meant I got a couple extra hours after my 5:00-7:00 am shift was over.

I tried to let him sleep in on his birthday, I really did.  But after also taking the 12:00-2:30 am shift I broke down and woke him up.

I am mean, I know.

After a little bit of rest I was feeling much better about my life, and thankfully my baby's little belly was feeling better as well.

We stayed in most of the day while Ryan enjoyed some dental this and that at school until we met up with some friends for dinner to celebrate year 29 of Ryan's life.

Awkwardly enough we were the first to leave the dinner-party-thrown-by-us-in-honor-of-one-of-us so that Ryan could hurry to Scouts.

So that was Wednesday.

Thursday

Pretty uneventful.

It is really cold here so once again we stayed inside most of the day.

I did get ready, though, so that should count for something.

I actually get ready most days.

It is just one way that makes me feel more productive and happy about myself each day.

Plus I like fashion and clothes and jewelry a little too much to only get ready once a week.

I made a yummy dinner.

Chili and cornbread.

We watched Marley and Me.

Dang show.

I don't even like dogs that much and yet I bawl every.time.

I have realized I cry much to easily.

I went to the gym.

Wait.  Did you read that?

I said "I WENT TO THE GYM!"

woot woot.

It doesn't happen nearly as often as it should people so I got to give myself credit when it is warranted.

We watched some Prison Break.

Yeah...we started this little series last Sunday.

Can't stop watching.

Can't stop dreaming about prison.

I really, really hope I never have to go to prison.

It is scary there.

And I hope the government isn't really corrupt.

Just saying.

Anyways, it is good.  We are just over halfway through season one thanks to instant Netflix.

Friday

Oh, Friday.

Well remember how Stella was sick?

Well at about 5:00 am, I decided I wanted to be sick too.

So for the next six hours I moved as little as possible, which is pretty hard with an almost one year old and the frequent need of a toilet.

We survived until Ryan got home early from school, but then Ryan wasn't feeling so hot either.

So the rest of Friday found the mom and dad on the couch and the baby still in her pajamas doing her best to destroy the house.  It was a little scary here.

I had been planning to finally (3 days later) eat Ryan's birthday treats.

Well they are still sitting on my counter and I am about inches away from throwing them in the trash.

I am NOT eating them all myself.

I won't do it.

I can't do it.

DON'T DO IT, TARYN!

Saturday

Everyone was feeling better for the most part, but let's just say my weekend to-do-list wasn't touched.

A little more prison break may have been watched.

And pizza may have been ordered for dinner.

So now it's Sunday.  And I am rather happy that a new week starts tomorrow. 

We are feeling great today.  Stella's only problem today seemed to be holding still for longer than 0.2 seconds at church.

Everyone tells me she is busy.

Yep, I know!

She is everywhere, all the time.

And she doesn't even walk yet.

I have been wanting write some goals down for the new year, but this week kind of got in the way of that.

So I might post those sometime this week.

Don't be mad that it is going to be January 10th tomorrow.

That just means I might actually be working on achieving those goals ten days longer than the rest of you all.

It is called strategy people.

Oh and thanks for all your prayers and words of encouragement regarding my dear friend.

They mean a lot to me, but I am sure they mean even more to her!
