Saturday is nap day

I was a little bummed today because Marshall had a meeting in the morning, but I still was able to sleep in a little...around 7.30 or 8.00 not sure. Anyway, this morning was the longest morning ever as I waited for him to return. Some mornings are just like that.

Mac's big accomplishment of the day was he finally rolled over. He's been working on it for weeks. I was actually talking to Mom when he did.

Cali's fun thing was she drank out of a straw. I didn't know she could do it until I gave her Marshall pop and she drank it through the straw. It was pretty cool. We took a family trip to Costco which is always fun.

Cali is very good at saying please and thank you. It's really awesome. She says thank you whether giving or receiving something. And she knows please will get her whatever she wants...for now. Her first sentence was "up, please."

We ended up not going to Alex Harvey last night because our friends cancelled on us. Marshall wanted to go to the Ensworth vs BA game but I didn't really want to go. It was rainy and I didn't really feel like seeing people. I felt bad thought because I know Katrina really wanted to watch the kids, and Cali loves her "Meena" so Marshall and I got ice cream at Sonic and then went to TJ Maxx. It was actually really fun. I came back home at 8:30 while Marshall went to the second half of the game. Katrina stayed until about 10pm helping me wrap Christmas presents. It was fun.

Sometimes I just want one day where I don't have to be responsible for anyone but myself. Sometimes I just want to sit and be, but I can't. Diapers don't change themselves, babies will starve...I guess I never really thought about the fact that you are on 24 hours a day, seven days a week whether you feel like it or not. I thought I was busy with teaching, but at least you could take 30 minutes, heck...5 minutes, and not have to think about anything if you wanted to. Even when I am away from the kids, I still think about them. It's a strange thing really.

I did get a nap this afternoon. And why is it that the kids sleep at the same time for a long time on Saturdays. A nice, long, Wednesday afternoon nap would be nice...
