Not much exciting has happened in the past two days...but we'll recap anyways for all my adoring fans.
Tuesday: I was awoken at some fairly early time that I'm not even sure of by Kellie to tell me that TiJim was still asleep and that she was putting the baby moniter in my room. I woke up again around 10 and the child still wasn't awake...so I had some breakfast and laid around. Finally I decided to take and shower and get ready. Still he wasn't awake. Finally sometime around noon, I think, he woke started crying so I went upstairs to get him up. He took one look at me, stopped crying, and layed right back down. Apparently he uses the whole pretending to sleep thing as a way of not having to deal with strangers, and in the process of pretending actually falls asleep. So his parents and my dad got back from their fishing trip around 2 or so and he was still sleeping when they got back. The easiest babysitting job I ever had. Then I don't really remember what I did. Some laundry, lots of talking online, and some family time. Chris was going to come over for like an hour after his mom got home and they ate dinner to see the picture of NY but his mom got home late and it just didn't work out. So then everybody left again around 8 to go out dancing. I was told to keep TiJim awake till 9 or 9:30 cuz he hadn't had his afternoon nap and he might just think thats what it was and wake up again in an hour. So we watched some Blues Clues movies for a while, and I talked to Chris a bit to keep my sanity. Then a little after 9 I put the baby to bed cuz he was walking around all drunk like. Well, I talked to Chris and watched some TV and stuff till around 10, when like clockwork the child started crying. I tried to let him cry a bit and then tried to get him back to sleep and couldn't. I called James and he told me to give him his binky thing and that worked for a while. And off and on between 10 and 11:30 I tried everything to get him to sleep...giving him water, rubbing his back, singing to him, talking to him, changed his diaper...nothing worked. So finally my dad came home at like 11:30 and just got him up out of bed and he was awake as ever...of course. But at least he wasn't my responsibility. But, I did have fun because off and on for the entire night I was talking to Chris either on the phone or online. That was quite amusing.
Today: Got up at like 10 and was the only one awake. I called Chris to wake him up because he wanted me to. I was all awake and chipper and he was still half asleep. Other people started to get up around 10:30 and I went to go take a shower. Then we headed off to Frankenmuth. We got fudge, beef jerky, kite supplies, and ate lunch at the cafe in the basement of Zenders. We tried to take TiJim to a park but the weather just wasn't on our side. Then we went and listened to Julie's band play a few songs at the place outside of Frankenmuth, and headed home. Kellie and I tried to find a place where we could get a good pedicure for a good price, and it does not exist in this town. So, we decided to go to Walmart and get some supplies to do a self pedicure at home. So, we hopped in the care (with me in the drivers seat...yay!) and headed to Walmart. After we were done there I convinced her to make a small side trip to stop at Chris's house to show him the NY pictures. She reluctantly agreed. She came in and met him and I gave him a quick look of the pictures, then we headed out. We came home and ate dinner with a bunch of family members, and thats pretty much where we're at now. All the people are still here and trying to find a game to play with everybody...possibly Pictionary or Michigan Rummy if we can find the board.
I have a lunch date with Erin tomorrow...which makes me excited. Then I have the car wash with the colorguard on Friday and Chris is coming too. Then Bethany's birthday party Friday night to Saturday morning. Then I'm going to the Chesaning Showboat Saturday night with my dad and Julie. Then I'm going somewhere all day Sunday. Hopefully Chris's house but my dad doesn't like that idea too much so it will take a bit of convincing. I'm a little frustrated with him cuz he doesn't like that I'm spending lots of time with Chris and that I don't want to do stuff with Julie's family. But can you blame me?! ugh. Theres also a few other aspects of my life that I'm not too happy about right now, but thats something I have to figure out and deal with in time. Oh! Also, I'm going to Texas sometime around the last week in July to like August 3 or 4. Then of course band camp on the 8th...I have to be gone for Chris's birthday :-(....We'll have to do something extra special and fun while I'm home between Texas and camp...think about that Chris.
Anywho....I think I'm done here...plus I've run out of shades of purple. Ugh...the people across the street are being annoying again....
I love Chris!!! Very very very very very much!!!
