january two

I've been living in my Airwalk "Crocs" lately. My heel on my left foot has been killing. I think I have a heel spur (which my mother suffers from as well). One of the things I can do to relieve the pain in my foot is to walk in rubber soled shoes. I dug out the pair of Airwalks I got, and I've been feeling a LOT better. I'm going to have to get a heel insole for my winter boots, as they are the worst. The worst pain is in the morning getting out of bed.

This morning my dad delivered Sean's big boy bed. It's actually my sister's old bed from when she was living at my parents house. My old bed is in the "baby" room at my parents house, acting as a guest bed.

Nap time was a disaster. He got out of bed a few times after he was done his milk. He went to the door. (He cannot get out of his room yet, he isn't strong enough to turn the handle on the door).

At one point he was screaming so much, and I'd already put him back into the bed a few times, that I had no choice but to put him back into his crib.

This evening though, he fell asleep in his big boy bed and I just peeked in, he's still asleep. And yes, those are He-Man sheets from the 80's. And a Pink Panther stuffed animal that I had as a kid.

I did promise Sean that I'd get him a proper comforter set, which I saw at Walmart in the kids linens department that they had the "Original Six" hockey set. I have a return to do at Walmart anyhow (when do I not have a return to do at Walmart?) and so in the next couple of days I'll pick him up a set.

Wow. My baby is in a big boy bed. I'm not so sure I'm ready for this yet, but I suppose I don't have a choice, do I? I am though very excited to see how he does in his big boy bed.

This afternoon Jamie had to run out to get something, so I did some cleaning up while the boys napped. When Jamie got home, we tried an episode of Damages, and liked it. Then Mackie woke up, I got him, and while Mackie enjoyed his bottle, we watched episode number 2. I got some knitting done, on the sleeve, for the Moss Block Cardigan and tomorrow I should be able to cast on sleeve number 2 - and then there is an end in sight!

I haven't shown you progress in a while, but here's the front of the Cardigan. I'll show you the sleeves when done (or at least the first sleeve)! It's super exciting on how close I am to the finish line. I'm wondering if it will fit Mack, or if it'll be too big? I can't tell yet.

This evening we watched another episode of Damages, we're apparently hooked to find out what happens next. It's a show that is on the FX network.

It feels like Sunday today. Actually yesterday felt like Sunday too. It does certainly feel like the weekend. Especially since Jamie's had all these days off. I think I need to get out of the house tomorrow, even just to run a few errands, or I'll go stir crazy. That's for sure. I'm not even sure what's going on tomorrow. All I know is that Sean has a birthday party on Sunday afternoon for his partner in crime. And I have a lot of laundry to do. That I do. Since it never ends.

I was shocked that Canada Post (trucks) made deliveries today & I got mail from my regular mailman today (bills, but still). I totally wasn't expecting any mail until Monday. At least I have 2 kids that get me up early, or I'd have shot the postman for ringing the bell at 9:34 am on a holiday weekend. I'd love to have a morning where I can sleep in, no kids. (Maybe one day my parents will babysit both kids at their house overnight... I can dream, can't I?)

ps - Still looking out for that 6500th commenter....! Just letting you know!
