Semi-Relaxing Weekend...

Baylor is at his dad's again, and Nadia spent the weekend at my in-law's house. So it was just Dawson. It was nice to have the pace of life slow down a little. The two little kids have been sick all week, so my MIL actually came and spent the night Thursday night so she could take care of them.
It really sucked that I didn't have any sick days left to stay home and take care of my own sick babies. I drove to work with a lump in my throat both days I had to leave them.
Friday afternoon Nadia left, and David was out of town at a Dave Ramsey conference. Dawson and I just hung out and rested. It was NICE.
I slept late Saturday (interrupted by Dawson's feeding sessions, of course) and David got home around lunch. I think that little time apart was good for us. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, you know!
We rested, and went out to eat at Applebee's. Then we got to chaperone the Sweetheart Dance at CHS. Oh joy. Not exactly my idea of a date night, but at least we only had to stay for an hour. After the dance we went to walk around Circuit City to see the sales (they're going out of business). We were home by 9:15. What a long way from my party animal days. I'm such an old fuddy duddy now. I just wanted to come home!
Nadia got home today with her little pink sunglasses. Of course she was going at full steam ahead. We missed her while she was gone, but she sure is a handful.
David and I started the Marriage Communication class at church today. Apparently there was a need for it because it was in the double classroom at church, and there was STANDING room only. I was astonished at how packed it was. I'm excited about the class. I think it will be good for us.
It's 10:15, and I'm going to bed. Dawson is asleep in the swing, and I'm leaving him there. Rule number 1 of motherhood is this: Never wake a sleeping baby. He'll be crying soon enough to eat, so I'm going to go sleep while I can.
