Life in Embers

Greetings! Hope everyone's enjoying their week. Here's a recap of the week for me. Over the weekend, I worked the 6am-2pm shift, then had plans to play some pick up soccer. When I got home, I could tell it was a rough day at the house. Jill looked stressed & exhausted and Mia was being a winey terrible-two terror child. I knew immediately that I was going to skip it. My place was at home trying to knock the crabby attitude out of my kiddo. Today was my typical day off. Ended up hanging with my brother and parents today. My bro and I did some odd jobs for my mom. Constructed this mini shed thing, which seems like a boring chore, but was actually a bit fun to catch up while building. Mia shared her popsicle with him, which was pretty cute. Later my Mom, Mia and I hit up the park for a bit, before playing with animals at the humane society. Mia couldn't get enough of those adorable kittens.

This week, we've been slowly putting together Mia's little room. After our last guinea pig passed away, we said we'd put together a really nice room for her. My mother in law painted while we were gone, so all we had left to do was get her crib/bed apart and rebuild in her room. It was quite a challenge this week. Mia would ALWAYs get in our way trying to "help". It just lead to frustration. Tonight it's together so all we need is her to love it enough to sleep there.

Friday there's a playgroup that meets every friday at the local library. If lazy bones Mia gets up at 9am, we can totally go and see what it's all about. Lately this week she's been rolling out of bed around 11 or 11:30am. Today, she was whining at 10am. Might have been too early :P This Saturday we're gonna double date with some friends in Riverwest at the Art-Bar which in 2007, we had an art show at. It was pretty awesome. That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
