My slight Neighbor obsession has diminished now that Daddy-O is back from his golf trip. It seems like he's been gone for so long, but I think that's just because I haven't really been sleeping much since he's been gone. I did get so much accomplished. There aren't too many boxes left. Just one storage closet full and that has to stay that way until we get the basement finished. I am so happy it's almost done!
It's so nice to have Daddy-O back home. We missed him. Sweet Pea said "I love you" for the first time on the phone with him Thursday. She kind of slurred the words together and she was just repeating me, but my heart melted.
On to the important stuff . . . I don't want anyone to think that I've forgotten about Neighbor. I'm still interested in becoming FF (Friends Forever if you didn't use this one in grade school). But, I think I just stop worrying and try just be normal.
However, there is the blind dilemma. We have windows looking directly onto their deck. Do we leave the blinds open in the evening? We have up to this point, but if they're on the deck and someone is on our sectional, you're almost part of their conversation. I brought this question up to my mom and sister last night, and a few minutes later out Neighbor and her husband came with another couple. Well, obviously I couldn't close the blinds after they came out. That would have been rude. Oh hi, I see you and now I'm shutting my blinds on you. I think when it gets warm, maybe we'll just shut them at night. I really am trying not to obsess about weird stuff, but sometimes the ADD kicks in pretty strong!
We're having Daddy-O's parents over for Easter brunch. I could get enough blog content on them to last me a long time, but I'm staying quiet on the in-law front because it just best for all. They love Sweet Pea beyond belief and that's all that matters to me. They just got back from Paris. I don't think either of them have ever been abroad or traveled too much, so it should be interesting (or maybe really, really boring) hearing how it went. I'm crossing my fingers that the pictures have been somewhat edited down.
Besides making a delicious Easter brunch, I am a lame mama. Sweet Pea doesn't really get holidays yet and we're not too religious. So, I'm really just dressing her up for the grandparents and because it's so fun to see her in a new spring dress. I bought the whole Paaz egg thing. We've just been too busy to do it. I have a really cute felt Easter basket for her, but all I really have to go in it is paper Easter grass and some empty plastic Easter eggs. I'm dreading Grandma asking me what we did for Easter for Sweet Pea.
This mommy guilt thing is really all-consuming. The weather is really working a thing on me. It has been so nice. I just feel like I should be outside all the time with her. If I'm not, mommy guilt comes to get me. I'm almost glad tomorrow is supposed to be rainy.
How is it 1:30 in the morning already? I've got to get to bed, so I can wake up early to get brunch ready. Since Sweet Pea started sleeping in so late, I have no reason to get to bed early. It's really hurting our productivity during the day. I have so many errands backed up. She is sleeping almost 16 hours a day. It has to be a growth spurt or something. The two of us are little sloths sleeping in until 9:30. Not tomorrow, I'm going to have to be a tornado of activity to get things ready by 10:30.
Au revoir.
