This past week was ok. Thursday, I had to write up 2 6th graders. It was amazing to see the change in the class's behavior on Friday. I didn't have to correct anyone! Friday was a half day. We had a 7th grade teacher luncheon when the kids left. After, I went to get Carter because many of my coworkers were asking about him. None of my conferences showed up. I really wasn't expecting any to. Carter spent time being held by various coworkers and spitting up on each of them. I did learn how to maintain our magnet program's webpage. My friend and I have been updating it, but the district made their own version of it. We had one we could make changes to, and another (the one everyone looked at) that we couldn't update. It is much more complicated than using Frontpage, but at least we can make changes. I think some people have nothing better to do than sit around and email about webpages not having the information they want on them. Carter and I left school around 2:45, came home, and crashed.
Thursday night, Carter became restless around 4:00 am. He didn't really wake up, but was very noisy. I put him in bed with us, and he kicked me. When I got up, he stretched out and slept very peacefully. Little booger! The 4:00 am grunting recurred Friday night and last night. I'm hoping this isn't going to become a habit. The past two nights, I fed him just to get him back to sleep.
We had awesome weather yesterday. We started the day by going to Target to buy things for the three birthdays we have this week.
After, we went to the Columbia Greek Festival. I had heard wonderful things about it, especially the food. It was ok. We spent almost all the cash I had. (close to $40!) $10 of that was a super cute garden flag.
Kevin isn't a big fan, but I told him that being the only female in the house, I needed something girly! I really wanted this one,
but they were out of H's.After buying the flag, we wandered around to buy food. We bought a plate of pastries, a gyro each, and a Greek salad to split. We ate outside and did our fair share of people watching.
When we got home, Carter and I went for a walk.
Don't you like the coolness of the foot propped up?
Today was less eventful. After a frustrating trip to Wal-mart, ( I don't know why I punish myself) we came home, and Carter passed out for a good 3 hours. During his nap, I went to the post office to mail packages and cards. When I got home, I decided to make some pacifier holders for him and figure out how to use my snap putter onner. I would share a picture of one, but that isn't possible right now. One is connected to a sleeping Carter, and in typical Natalie fashion, I can't find the other. Anyway, I just used ribbon, two snaps, and a suspender clip. I can change which one is connected to the clip. They aren't fancy. I was considering finding some cute buttons to attach to the clips. We'll see. I've been meaning to make these since early August and just got to it today because the 2 from Target no longer stayed on. Anyway, I woke Carter up banging the snap with a rubber mallet. Kevin swears he was sleeping too, but I thought he was awake. Instead, here is a picture of a burp cloth I made using a cloth diaper when I first had the idea for the pacifier project:
I have more fabric and ribbon. That one is rather messy, but I just don't have long periods of uninterrupted time to work on them.
After Carter woke up, I fed him, and we headed out for our 2nd set of errands. We joined the Jewish Community Center. Yes, I know we aren't Jewish, but they have a great work out facility. A former student actually showed us around. I even signed up for the 3rd level spinning class tomorrow night. Anyone want to volunteer to come scrape me up off the floor after? Kevin's coworker who usually attends the class is at the beach, and I get winded just walking. I am determined to get back into shape. I don't think I have been in this bad of shape since 9th grade! I also want to fit back into my old clothes, so I don't have to keep buying new stuff in larger sizes.
After , we went to Target to buy what Wal-mart didn't have and to Ulta because shampoo was on sale.
We ended the night with Shrimp and Grits. I have started eating milk products again but have to take Lactaid, or I get sick. I have been SO hungry for Shrimp and Grits and enjoyed every bite. For not being from South Carolina, I do make mean Shrimp and Grits!
