imperfect weekend

I finished my call week on Friday morning and had a day off.  This would have been glorious — after working 7 days, I really needed some time to just rest and collect myself.  I had given our nanny the day off (in exchange for covering a prior on-call day) which would have been fine except that I forgot that C was home from school.

Oops.

It’s not that I minded having a day with C, and we did have a good time.  it’s just that . . . I needed some TIME.  And got exactly 0, due to my own poor planning AND the kids’ having a terrible streak of waking up before 6 am — a streak that came out of nowhere at just the wrong time.

I spent most of Saturday feeling really annoyed that I didn’t get any rest or time to myself to speak of, but Sunday was better . . . it helped that Josh took C to a basketball game so that A and I could have a girls’ night (complete with another home mani/pedi + Barbie movie — winning combo).

NOTE TO SELF:  In future, make sure that if possible, you get at least a few hours of catchup time post-call.  The end.

On the upside, we did fit in:

– Family dinner after Yom Kippur (fun tradition called the break-fast, which is supposed to be after ~24 hrs of fasting.  However, none of the 4 of us actually ever fasts)

– 15 minute family appearance at the temple’s children’s service (which is . . . about perfect from my perspective . . . kids did much better with this extremely low dose exposure 🙂 )

– Some bump pix 🙂  I’ll do a 30 week update for posterity later this week!

I feel like I have much more to catch up on – October goals (and failed Sept ones!) + more.  Hopefully will be back soon!
