My Psychic Powers...

Glad to know my psychic powers are still intact after having Abby. As I boldly predicted last Thursday, Monday sucked!!! After a great weekend at home with JB and Abby, Monday rolled around and hit with a thud. But let's reminisce about the weekend instead of focusing on the big downer yesterday.

On Thursday night, JB, Abby and I headed to Fireside Pies, one of our favorite haunts to enjoy some pizza. We then headed to Blockbuster to pick up a collection for the weekend. We rented the following: 1. Inglorious Basterds, 2. Men Who Stare at Goats and 3. Sherlock Holmes. I would rate them 1. didn't watch, 2. totally pointless and 3. spent two hours of my life attempting to decipher Robert Downey Jr.'s "British" accent. Not exactly a successful movie renting weekend. On Friday morning, I headed to the dentist, then to the dealership to have my radio fixed and then to have a pedicure with my mom (last time I had one was the day before Abby was due so it wasn't exactly the most comfortable pedi I have ever had). Friday night, we went to Manny's with the Bergers and Grandma Butler. Saturday, we ran some errands and had dinner on the patio at Celebration but the highlight was my 2 hour nap with Abby.

On Sunday, we woke up early for 8:30 service and I spent the first hour of the morning cursing my father-in-law for wanting to go to the early service. Not because we weren't up, but because trying to get us all ready to go and get her fed at 7:45 presented quite the challenge. Of course, it all worked out in the end and we followed up church with a lovely brunch at Byron and Gail's. Then we headed to my parents for an early dinner where I ventured into the world of turnip greens. Had never made these before and they apparently turned out OK. I wouldn't know. Since they looked like seaweed after boiling for an hour, I wouldn't touch them with a 10 ft pole but JB and Dad said they were good.

Abby did pretty well all weekend and slept like a charm most of the time. Of course 4 good nights in a row can only mean one thing - we are about to have a real bad streak of sleepless nights. Of course this morning, I had to go in and wake her up at 7:30 so I could feed her at 7:45. Not sure what's up with that, but I'll take it!! Hope everyone else enjoyed their weekend as much as we did!
