Experiments in Life Because Sometimes Science Screws Up!

Where does all the time go

Here it is, Sunday evening, and I wonder "where has all the time gone this weekend?" If I think back, it is easy to figure it out. Friday night was movie night for Ashley and I after Emily went to bed. We watched Charlie Wilson's War and I was quite impressed with it. In the middle of the night, I woke myself up from a Nyquil-induced coma in a coughing fit because, yeah, I am sick again. Of course, I have been for two weeks now, so that is nothing new. The Saturday morning after payday is errand day for me. I have to go to the bank and get out cash for groceries, my allowance, etc. This is fairly new and I will probably talk about it in a future post. I decided to take Emily with me and we made a morning of it at the bank and at the library. She picked out two of the four books that I got for her, so I was really proud of that. Also, it gave Ashley a chance to shower in peace since Emily was out of the house After lunch, Emily took a brief nap and Ashley escaped on a Christmas shopping trip while I settled in for a little bit of college football. Em got up and we played and watched and snacked for the rest of the afternoon. It was a good bit of Daddy-Daughter bonding time. Of course, by the time Ashley got back, she had to take over pretty completely because I could not keep a breath in me without coughing it back out. From a health front, yesterday afternoon was horrible, although I count the day as a whole as a win from an enjoyment standpoint.

Today was another busy day. I made breakfast for Ashley, Emily, and I before taking Em grocery shopping with me this morning. After lunch, we all went to Sam's as a family. Emily decided that she did not really want to nap today, so she was a little cranky this afternoon. We did laundry and dinner and then Emily went to bath. After bath, she was not quite ready to go to bed, so we let her play for a bit. She was tearing around her room like a crazy girl! She was running circles around Ashley and I, wanting us to grab her and swing her around as she ran by. After 10–15 minutes of that, she was finally worn out! Now, I get to relax for a little bit before bed.
