This weekend was pretty low key – the story of our life right now.\u00c2\u00a0 But I’m not complaining, it’s going to get busy pretty soon.\u00c2\u00a0 Although not soon enough for me.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m getting super anxious (even more so than before if you can believe it) for the baby to actually be here so I can see and touch our baby.\u00c2\u00a0 Friday after work, I went to Target to supplement our groceries while Casey finished up work for the week.\u00c2\u00a0 That was pretty much it for Friday night, we started watching TV and I got sleepy so took a nap for an hour and a half, then woke up had dinner (cereal) and we finished watching TiVo’ed shows from Thursday (Smallville and CSI).\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Saturday, Casey had to get up at 6 for server maintenance.\u00c2\u00a0 He thought it was only going to take about 10 minutes and then he’d be able to come back to bed.\u00c2\u00a0 That wasn’t the case, he was up for several hours helping the moron on call and ended up doing much more than he should have to get the job done.\u00c2\u00a0 He noticed that it was pretty cold in the house and when he walked downstairs the thermostat said 57 degrees.\u00c2\u00a0 We like it colder when we sleep but this was just too cold.\u00c2\u00a0 The heat was set to kick on at 64 and hadn’t.\u00c2\u00a0 Casey went to check if the pilot light blew out and found out we need some type of heat filament replacement.\u00c2\u00a0 He manually lit the pilot light Saturday and Sunday and kept the heat running just enough to heat up the house for the entire day (meaning he made it overly hot so it would eventually cool to a comfortable temperature).\u00c2\u00a0 He tried Googling to find the part we needed ($40-60) so we didn’t have to replace it but it appears that we’ll have to call in a professional (most likely due to safety regulations).\u00c2\u00a0 We didn’t do it this weekend because we figured the rates would be jacked up since it would be considered an “emeregency” and we could most definitely make it through two days without the heat.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s always something.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
With all of the work we’ve been doing on the backyard, I haven’t bothered mopping or\u00c2\u00a0waxing the floors in the kitchen.\u00c2\u00a0 Especially before we got the rock\u00c2\u00a0in place, dirt and sand were everywhere because of the exposed soil.\u00c2\u00a0 Now that we’re\u00c2\u00a0pretty much finished back there for the season, I decided I couldn’t take the dirty floors any longer.\u00c2\u00a0 I cleaned the baseboards and the walls on the kitchen (the dogs may be pretty short but they seem to grow several inches when it comes to getting gunk on the walls) which took 15 minutes by itself, before even starting on the floors.\u00c2\u00a0 The wax I have is made to be used by hand.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Waxing\u00c2\u00a0the floor on my\u00c2\u00a0hands and knees made me realize how big our kitchen really is or it could\u00c2\u00a0have been the fumes making me think that.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0So after an hour the wood was\u00c2\u00a0gleaming, I was tired, and\u00c2\u00a0the house was filled with fumes (I forgot to open a window beforehand, oops).\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Saturday night we met my parents for dinner at Fiesta Jalisco.\u00c2\u00a0 My dad keeps joking that I’m going to have a\u00c2\u00a0Mexican baby because most of the time when we\u00c2\u00a0do meet my parents for dinner, this is where we go.\u00c2\u00a0 After having a nice dinner with them we went home and started watching movies I had Netflixed.\u00c2\u00a0 First, we watched ‘The Ruins’.\u00c2\u00a0 Casey had asked me to add it to my queue since he had read the book and wanted to see if the movie was worth watching – it wasn’t.\u00c2\u00a0 But we watched the whole pointless thing and were grateful it was only an hour and a half.\u00c2\u00a0 Then we started trying to watch ‘Good Luck Chuck’ but I got so annoyed I had to turn it off within the first 15 minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 We ended up just watching ‘The Sweetest Thing’ again instead.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then yesterday (as I already posted) we finally got the stairs done.\u00c2\u00a0 They didn’t end up drying nearly as quickly as I had hoped so Casey had to put leashes on the dogs and walk them around to the backyard and then he’d lift them up and then hoist himself back into the house himself.\u00c2\u00a0 Fortunately, the dogs didn’t need to go out in the middle of the night.\u00c2\u00a0 At least I don’t think they did.\u00c2\u00a0 They never wake me up though, they always stand on Casey’s chest and start licking his face.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess I’ll find out when he gets up.\u00c2\u00a0 Hopefully the stairs are dry today so Casey doesn’t have to do this again while he’s working.\u00c2\u00a0 Fortunately the dogs don’t go out too much during the day so he won’t have that many trips if the stairs aren’t dry.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don’t know if I posted about this or not (I don’t\u00c2\u00a0think\u00c2\u00a0I did), but I got my Hypnobabies<\/a> home study course in the mail last Thursday.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve already read through most of the book and got the CDs onto my iPhone this weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 The course is broken down into\u00c2\u00a05 weeks\u00c2\u00a0with a track off\u00c2\u00a0one of the CDs to\u00c2\u00a0listen to each night.\u00c2\u00a0 Last nigth I listened to my first track.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m really hopeful that this works for me\u00c2\u00a0in creating an easy and\u00c2\u00a0fast\u00c2\u00a0birthing experience.\u00c2\u00a0 Other than that, we watched the Broncos beat the Falcons, caught up on The Office (even with a dual tuner TiVo we still can’t record all the shows we want to watch), and then watched our Sunday night shows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This weekend was pretty low key – the story of our life right now.\u00c2\u00a0 But I’m not complaining, it’s going to get busy pretty soon.\u00c2\u00a0 Although not soon enough for me.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m getting super anxious (even more so than before … Continue reading
