We had a pretty good day today. Loren really helped me out and I actually only changed two diapers the whole day! I feel much better this evening than the last few evenings. I slept until noon and when I got up, I got a tiny bit of cleaning done and Loren spent some time with his brother(they get online and play a computer game for a while). After that, we went to the mall for about an hour. Then we came home and watched part of "Meet the Robinsons". Loren had a meeting on msn messenger with his group for class and Jason came over for a few minutes. I felt bad because Ethan started crying shortly after Jason got here. He has been doing that in the evenings and I really hope it isn't colic. I realized that I am just way too uptight and if it is colic, it is probably worsened by my that. So I have been focusing on calming down. Loren was awesome tonight. I had to run to the store to get a few things and he basically told me to take my time and just enjoy it. I decided to go to Walmart instead of the Macey's just around the corner and I really enjoyed it. I just relaxed and found a few little Christmas gifts for Loren. Then I got the things I needed and when I was almost done, Loren called and said Ethan was acting hungry. The checkout line went really slowly, then I still had to drive home. I got home though and yep... he was hungry! I didn't think he would be since I fed him right before I left. But I guess that's just how it is. I'm going to stay home with Ethan from church tomorrow because I think that may be where he got sick last time. I just want to wait until his immune system is stronger. I promise I'm not just trying to skip out!
I'm so glad I'm in a better mood tonight. Loren has got to get on a normal schedule again because he just gets so grumpy when he is not well rested. He was telling me today that he didn't get anything really done this week that he wanted, but he just needed a break. He hasn't had a really down time like this all semester and usually by this time in the semester he has had a few and really has to fight to do well in his classes. So hopefully he will still be able to pull out of it and get all his stuff done in good time so he won't have to stress too much.
I keep wanting to get my Christmas stuff up, but I'm not going to pull it out until our apartment at least is reasonably clean and organized. I worked on just a bit today, but we had a lot of other stuff going on, so I didn't get too much done. I still need to do the kitchen, and I need to finish organizing the bedroom. I'm going to stay in there most of the day tomorrow I think, so I'll definitely get some done then if I can. Oh boy... I'm getting very tired. Hopefully Ethan will let me get some sleep tonight! It is hard not being able to get into a deep sleep and stay there for a really long time. But even three or four hours at a time is better than nothing. Good night! Enjoy the pictures!
