Cheeeese..

~ Wordless Wednesday ~

Well, I came home from work and signed the tax papers, the checks and stuffed the envelopes, stood in line at the post office and handed them over.
Now, as I lay here in bed all I can think of is how fast I stuffed them. OH GOD DID I ADDRESS THEM RIGHT?  I HOPE I DIDN’T MIX UP THE ENVELOPES?
Okay, I am just being crazy and stressing myself out for no reason and if I did stuff them wrong, it’s too late now anyway.

I heard from Allison and my mom. Sounds like they are having a blast! They’ve been out doing a lot of sight seeing and have already been to Buckingham Palace and spent the day in Oxford and enjoyed fish & chips at a pub near the water. Tomorrow is their day in France. I sure hope they have nice weather.

Here is a photo I found in my email this morning of Allison during their visit to Oxford University,

and outside the pub with her new friend Morgan.

I can’t wait to hear all about Paris.

My parents had to say goodbye to their beautiful golden retriever this morning. She had to be about the nicest dog I have ever known. So good and patient with all of the kids. She was part of our family for a long time and will be missed.

If you missed the hilarious return of The Office Thursday night, I posted the episode and a little review over here.

It’s been a pretty nice weekend so far.

I had the best visit with Rebecca Friday night and Saturday morning. She is such a happy and sweet baby, just a joy to be around. I even had the chance to dress her up all pretty for a party before she left. Of course I took way too may pictures and posted them on my Flickr page.

Yesterday I saw my husband for more then ten minutes for the first time all week. I am so not a fan of him working 6:00pm to 6:00am ! I’ll be glad when he’s back on days but not as glad as he will be I am sure. Poor guy looks so tired.

Today I plan to finish up all of our laundry and do some house work. Exciting I know but our bedroom is in serious need of some cleaning. It’s been way too easy to just close the door and forget about it lately.

I am going to try and fit in some movie watching this afternoon. I have this one on my DVR from last night.  If I do, I’ll be posting about it here.

I ended up putting off my quiet and relaxing time one more day and I picked up Rebecca for the night. I picked her up just in time to feed her dinner and fit in some play time before she started rubbing her eyes for bed. Rocking her to sleep tonight was the best way to end my day. I look at her and some times I just can’t believe how much I love her. She is just the sweetest little thing.

Need evidence of her sweetness? Watch this little video clip of her clapping her hands and trying to say yay.

I am so, so glad it’s Friday! I am seriously messed up today, I am so tired. I have been running around and awake way too late too many evenings in a row. I had such a hard time getting ready for work this morning. I think my eyes were more closed then open while I was blow drying my hair. So to say I am having a “bad hair day” is an understatement.

This weekend and up coming week alone is all about relaxation! While Gerry works nights and Allison is gone I plan to rent chick flicks and take very long hot baths. Camp out on our nice new big bed with my laptop and some yummy snacks and a glass of wine. R E L A X A T I O N !
