after awhile lazy is good
It was a busy weekend.
Friday while I was waiting to be picked up from work Grumpy called to tell me that he had just rear-ended a carfull of gotdamn tourists from my home state of Michigan.
When they finally picked me up we had to haul Grumpy all the way up to his work then make a pit stop to get Little Bear signed up for his swim class that starts this week. Then we cruised on back downtown to make it to the memorial service for my teacher that had passed away. I laughed, I cried, I ran into a couple of old friends which was cool.
After all that rushing around I needed some down time, so Little Bear and I took the dogs over to the dog park and went for a nice long walk, had a late dinner then we picked Grumpy up from work around ten. Little Bear stayed up until after 11. He was overtired and woke up several times during the night finally getting up for good at 6am. Lucky me.
On Saturday, we took Grumpy to work. I packed up some stuff and the dogs and headed down to the ferry where we met a few friends from work. We took a ferry over to the Island to hang out at the bosses house for the company picnic. Little Bear loved the ferry and he was so excited to see all the boats and the water. Why do I bother taking my camera when I never take any damn pictures?
The dogs had a blast running all over the place (boss man has ten secluded acres - ahhh)and playing with their friend Aggie, and of course eating anything they could scrounge up. Little Bear had a good time too. He was all over the place checking stuff out. He finally fell asleep and a co-worker (a dad of three) needed a baby fix so he held Little Bear while he slept. It was so sweet. Then we had a sweet ferry ride back into the city. It was beautiful.
Yesterday, I was broken. I was so tired from running all over the place and carrying the kid around that we stayed in bed almost all day yesterday. We took a seriously long nap, watched cartoons(I am becoming obsessed with Fairly Odd Parents) and I admit it - we even ate dinner in bed. I'm talking a salad AND a main course. We ate and watched Return of the Jedi. I have never eaten in bed before that I can recall. It was strictly against the rules to have food in our bedrooms when I was a kid so that sort of carried over into my adult life. Can I just say it was fabulous. I didn't even care for once that there is a ton of laundry and cleaning to take care of. I stayed in bed, in my pjs. I was lazy and I loved it!
