Pardon me while I go snooze into my coffee
By Moriah on May 13th, 2010
Wow. Yesterday was nuts. Andy said he had a good birthday though, so I’m just going to roll with that.
He took Drew to his check-up and then they went out for ice cream. The girls and I ran a ton of errands, including birthday cake (Publix – ’cause I’m lazy) and picked up a couple of presents. We brought home a pizza for lunch and threw wrapping paper on everything so he could open his gifts before the kids had time to blurt out what he was getting. (Happen to you, too?)
We’re also starting a big attic project – putting down more flooring to greatly increase the storage space up there. He spent the afternoon emptying out my van (into the yard, it was attractive) and going Home Depot/Lowe’s. (Every man’s dream birthday, right? ha!) He took the kids to church in his car since mine was full of wood. And I had a wonderful, QUIET hour and a half to get things done here while I was ALONE.
[Sidenote: we tried to go out to dinner for a birthday/anniversary combo but couldn't find any childcare. So hopefully we'll be able to do that next week and we went with Plan B. (Which clearly involved a lot of wood.)]
Once the kids were bathed and in bed, we hauled it all in and Andy carried each sheet up to the attic. That’s how I found myself vacuuming out my van at 11 o’clock at night. FUN TIMES. But hey, all the wood is up there ready to be nailed down, and my van is super clean. So I guess that’s a win-win.
We didn’t get everything cleaned up and ready for today until about 1 am. So, needless to say, this morning was um, difficult. Madeline’s last day of preschool – Carnival Day!

Sorry you didn’t go out last night, but glad you got another step closer to a bigger storage area!
John’s birthday is today. And we’re going out tomorrow night to Alleia’s for our anniversary/his birthday celebration. I’m going to be calling to get suggestions on what to order. Let me know if you need help with childcare so that you can go out, I’d be glad to try and help you out.
Vacuuming the van at 11pm. OCD much? (that made me laugh, Moriah. Because I can see myself doing the SAME thing.)
