Monday, Monday
This is the typical monday blues often written about I think... I am longing for the weekend already. The day is creeping by and the weekend seems so distance.
Saturday I enjoyed breakfast with my father in the early morning. I miss him a lot even though he is relatively near. I guess seeing him in spurts give me more of a chance to focus on the positive. Even thought it is his weekend off, and he drove 4 hours to visit home, and was scheduled to move his house into storage he still took the time to work on my sister's car. He ensured that she had a way to get to work and that her car is safe. How impressive!
I originally started the day impressed that Scott had risen early but it quickly turned to ire as he left breakfast to visit an old acquaintance. He short stop over turned into an almost 2 hour outing during which time he didn't return any of my calls.
I had to escape the house at that point as the weather and my child were just miserable. I decided to make some light of the situation and took Elijah to the near by children's museum. We had a good time. It was warm but there was water to play in and the distraction was welcome.
I returned home to find Scott had returned as well. He let me in on a surprise he had for me. For a minute my heart sank as I realized how angry I was earlier in the day and yet he had been thinking of me. Thinking of me so fondly that he decided to surprise me by test driving a 2002 pickup truck to our house. Not because he had any intention of buying the truck but because he knew it would make me freak out!
The rest of Saturday was all right I suppose. Our house napped in the late afternoon heat and then we decided to have dinner guests. Originally scheduled were my parents but we wanted a small group and siblings were in the picture. We instead invited Ted and his wife Charlie. It was actually a nice time but odd as are all occurances where Scott and I tend to play happy family.
I watched Gangs of New York through partially open eyes. I was surprised that Cameron Diaz didn't annoy as much as I expected her too. My main thought at the end of the picture was that I remembered the riot of the film as told through the Burns documentary on NY. Thoughts of course float to my family afar and I am sad.
Yesterday was pretty good too! We drove to Vancouver to visit with Scott's coworker's family. They had a pool! We swam and visited and stayed for dinner. It was a fairly nice time but I was Elijah's babysitter while Scott played and we had to leave too early to beat the evening sun. The ride home was eventful as Elijah's carseat somehow came unbelted from the car and he fell on his side as we turned a sharp corner. Thankfully he was alright but incredibly frightening all the same.
When we arrived home we essentially passed out in the living room the 3 of us. At some point Elijah and I moved to the bedroom and suffered through the heat.
Tonight is expected to be the same.
I don't know why I have put such a negative spin on even the good stuff. I feel the effects of PMS settling heavy on my shoulder's this month.
