Accomplish mint?
May. 4th, 2015 10:31 amHoly crap we accomplished a lot on the weekend, and yet a number of items still got shifted to this week and next weekend.
1) I got up at 7 with Vv (who'd been politely calling for either Mommy or Trippy (yes, he's a cat; no, he won't get her) to come and get her out of the crib since 6). We breakfasted and played, and then I went to get her clothes so we could get winter tires off the car. Instead, she followed me upstairs and woke up Derek so she got to stay home with him while I tried and failed to get my summers on (they need a heads up to pull the tires from their off site storage - I'll know for next time), and instead picked up Derek's dry cleaning.
2) TKD. Neither of us were looking forward to it, and Vv was both adorable and awful. She did the warmup (suicide sprints, shuttle runs) with the group, but by the time we got to the stretch, she was done for and just wanted to be held or climb on dangerous gym equipment, as you do when you are 2. Lots of meltdowns for her and not so much TKD for me.
3) Sushi for lunch, then VV and I got to go home for a nap while Derek went off to a Hillside (local folk music festival) meeting.
4) Wandered the backyard, taking a bit of inventory of what we needed to do. Decided to tackle it on Sunday, figuring 30 minutes of cleanup. We get a lot of trash blown in, despite the fence. The joy of living at the bottom of the hill.
5) Bound and determined to stick to my couch to 5k plan, so I took VV in her stroller for a run. I've always run on a treadmill before, and not pushing a stroller, so I was done for when we got back.
6) Pizza for supper, because a friend texted Derek that his girlfriend ordered pizza, and then we had cravings.
7) VV bedtime, best time of the day!
8) TV because that's all I could manage after running.
9) Backyard cleanup. Over the course of the day we not only cleaned up all the garbage, we also opened the pool. It all went very well, except we discovered the solar panel didn't get totally drained last fall, and the cold temps in the shed burst about 7 tubes. So then we went in the house, all frustrated and looked for new solar panels, but instead found a patch kit. If it works, it should save us about 200$.
10) Noon nap for Vv, which was a big mistake. We did more work in the yard, her window was open... you see what I'm getting at. Not to mention, when she did get up 2 hours later, it was still 4 1/2 hours to bedtime. Gah!
11) 4 1/2 hours of playing with Vv, snacking with Vv, errands with Vv, and dealing with her meltdowns when we tried to redirect her.
12) Supper, bath and bedtime oh thank the lord.
13) Crappity crap, have to roll up the winter cover from the pool.
14) Sink into the couch and be thankful we accomplished so much.
Still to do - taxes, fix the solar panels, vacuum the pool, get my #@%##$ tires changed, hair cut, hair colour, organize tupperware cupboard and get groceries.
Adulting is hard, y'all.
