Ridikkulus!
Didn't know it was possible to accomplish so much and at the same time have fun in one day.
Started off by giving Bella's room, the play room, and the toybox an organizational exorcism which felt MARVELOUS. The play room was vaccumed and everything. I put all the toys in their rightful place, and purged a bit as well, since B's birthday cup runneth over, thanks to her family and friends that love her.
By the time I emerged from my terminator cleaning spree, my sister was in full party prep mode for Jules' 11th birthday party tonight (Harry Potter themed, of course.) Her and Susanne made a bevy of amazing dishes, and yes, I'll say it, it was downright MAGICAL.
Then I had to piece together a costume for our movie date tomorrow (the capstone of this shindig - taking all the kids to see the final installment, along with a ton of Jamie's friends.) But first I had to choose a character, and I think I picked a good one. I am going full throttle with this, because why not? I am hoping I can at least con Richie into letting me draw the scar on his head so he can be the man himself. We'll see how that goes.
He is out a party right now, and he was rocking some serious mangina before he left. It was cute. He's been working out like crazy, along with running, and he's pretty much solid as a rock. He's got his V back, his arms are huge, and his legs are solid muscle. ZEXY.
I've realized recently that I really enjoy the flow of our relationship. We are both involved with the kids, but we both have lives as well. He's allowed to have man time, and I can do what I like with my girlfriends as well. It's pretty balanced, and for some reason I've just noticed. He's taken trips to see his BF in Cali, I've taken trips to LA to do glee/spike awards/etc, and we still take trips together. It's nice. We go out with our friends, and with each other. It doesn't feel like a tug of war, which I guess I always expected after listening to other people's marital (horror) stories. On the same note, we both contribute to this marriage, and we can acknowledge it.
We decided to do our date mid week just to mix it up a bit, to allow the excitement to build and all that jazz. Plus he worked this weekend, and there is the HP extravaganza that we didn't want to compromise. I just want to wait it out and give it a sense of OCCASION. Plus I need to figure out what to wear, because bump or no bump, I want a date with a happy ending.
With July half over, it's hard not to think of all the excitement going down in August...finding out the sex...school starting....then going full throttle with baby planning and arrival preparations. It's going to be bananas. It's tempting to be overwhelmed, but eh, I don't want to waste the energy. I used to make lists all the time, for anything. Things I needed to do that week, life goals, shopping lists. Now I really just do shopping lists, because who can remember all the crap you need when you do a big shop? As for the rest of it...I finally realized I could make lists until the sun set and rose again, and it didn't really matter if I wasn't in the mood to DO it. I have a plan in my brain (take last math class, have baby, try to do edu class with insanse observation hours while on maternity leave, then return to work and map out my UNR courses. ) and I think that's good for right now. Because even if it doesn't work out exactly like that, at least I'll still be doing something.
I'll save the stress for when the wee bit wakes up for feedings twice a night and we both have to work early in the morning. :)
