Extra Down Time

It's been kind of a strange week and for the most part pretty enjoyable. Here is is Wednesday and I've only worked 1 full day. Tomorrow will be my only other full day and then I'm off again on Friday!

Yesterday we were really low on kids at the daycare. 2 staff were already gone and there were 2 others that were pretty much extra. I had hoped to get off a little bit early at least, so I let my boss know that I was willing to go early if she wanted someone to. I ended up leaving at 10:00! I came home and finished up some cleaning around the house (which has been a lot easier this summer, because my awesome hubby has been helping me out around the house!) Then I went and did the grocery shopping. Since I had time, I went to Aldi and WalMart. This was only my 2nd attempt at Aldi , but it wasn't too bad. I got around $28 of the groceries there, but price checked those against Wal-Mart's prices and saved almost $10.  Doesn't seem like that big of a difference, but if I can get more consistent it would save money in the long run.

Jacob and his dad left around 3:00 to go to the Cards game last night, so I had the house to myself. They got back around 12:30 I think. Then they went again tonight! They worked around the house today. Fixed the leaky hose faucet, cleaned the air conditioner and Kent checked out our roof situation and thinks they can re-roof for us. That is SUCH a relief because it will save us a ton of money.

I was off work at 2:00 today. Had to make a doctor's appointment at my OB today. Nothing major, so don't worry! Anyway, didn't see my doctor but saw her nurse practitioner who I immediately loved too. I REALLY love my Dr's office. Since I was there she asked if I was feeling movement at all yet and I told her flutters sometimes. Then I got to hear the heartbeat again. It has become on of my favorite sounds.

She asked if I had any guesses on the gender or if I've had any dreams about it. I told her my instinct has always been girl (it waiver's occasionally) and I have had 3 girl dreams. Then I said, "So, I'm sure we'll find out that it's a boy" Haha!  She said she'd guess girl too. My dream the other night was so cool though. Usually I don't see the face, but the other night I was holding our baby girl and she was beautiful. Either way though, I will be thrilled!

Enjoyed another evening at home and even went and got my hair cut since the first time since about the beginning of the year. Felt good to lose a couple of inches!

Now off to bed!
