School vacation week - Day 1
We're off to a bang with the productivity, which is nice. It's nice to not feel nauseous anymore (knock on wood) and the exhaustion doesn't hit me until I stop moving, so as long as I stay busy during the day, I'm good. The beautiful sunny day helps, too.
I had plans of taking Punk to the library this morning until I remembered that it's Patriots Day and therefore the library is closed. Patriots Day is pretty much only celebrated in Boston and is a non-issue around here, except for UMass and libraries. Aah well, tomorrow afternoon then. Punk is jonesing to re-borrow the same Veggie Tales video we have borrowed no less than 5 times.
Instead of a library outing, I managed to purge some junk from our dining room and living room and then Punk and I went grocery shopping, where she discovered the amazingness of Campbell's condensed Disney Princess noodle soup. She was so enamoured of this soup that she ate nearly the entire can and kept gushing about the princess shapes and how great the soup was. Children's marketing at its finest. She followed it up with some kid-marketed yogurt and some pineapple, and then took a great nap allowing me to do several loads of laundry and go through my maternity clothes. Almost none of them are useful to me for work because when I was pregnant with Punk, I sat in an office at UMass and wore nothing but jeans, shorts, and tshirts. Sigh.
I also managed to leave messages for several roofing companies on Angie's List so I can schedule some estimates, and put away all of Punk's laundry, and ate some leftover chinese food. (No Princess soup for me, thanks.)
We are headed to the park to meet up with Jess and her girls, and then I'm making Hamburger Helper for dinner. I'm Mother of the Year today in the food department! :) But it's got whole grains and is marketing itself as "Wholesome Helper" which cracked me up so much I had to buy it.
So far today seems to be an awesome day. I hope it sticks!
