Finally Friday

I have to say I’m quite stoked that today is Friday. The night before last the mini-man was up half the night crying. Every time I’d put him back in bed he’d be quiet long enough for me to lie down and start drifting off before he’d start in again. By midnight I was ready for the funny farm, but he finally fell asleep thank God!

Yesterday Daddy took off work to stay home with him and get him to a doctor. I had strep throat last week, so I knew what was happening to him immediately. So I’m grateful for answered prayers in that we got him started on antibiotics the same day he started complaining of pain… I didn’t get any until day 3 and by then I wanted to die, so I’m grateful mini-man didn’t have to go through that kind of pain – not to mention there would have been no sleep for the duration either.

So with mini-man happily munching chewable amoxicillin and seemingly back to his regular night time sleep routine, I’m excited today’s Friday. This weekend is supposed to be beautiful weather, and it’s Lynn Valley Days so we’re going to have fun watching the parade tomorrow morning. My band is also playing in the morning before the parade and having a year-end wrap party in the evening that I’m really looking forward to. Perhaps will get my stuff together enough to post some photos at some point.

Family Time

… About that whole “seeking balance” thing… today is a great day! My wonderful mother-in-law came over this morning (with my sister-in-law… must give credit where credit is due) for breakfast and to hang out with my amazing mini-man while my big-man and I went to church together… on his crazy-fast GSXR-750 crotch rocket :D fun! I think ours is the only church that really should have bike parking. It’s starting to amass a following of leather-clad rocketeers who serve the Lord lol!

But again I digress… fun times. I haven’t been on his bike in quite a while. I’ve become a bit of a nervous nelly since becoming a mom over 2 years ago, but I guess that’s a God-given instinct: protecting your life. The mini-man thought it was very cool that mommy was getting on the back of daddy’s motorcycle. I think he wanted to come too, but there’s no way. He’s not riding until he’s at least 42.

So this afternoon we’re headed out to enjoy the sunshine by the pool, sipping cool beverages with friends while caked in SPF 50 and enjoying inflatable things filled with water and bits of grass and such… you probably know how it is. I will do my best to relax while running around trying to make sure the mini-man doesn’t fall in the in-ground pool, but instead sticks to the inflated variety. I should wear a hat.
