Stuff (long)

Its another rainy Friday. We have plans to go to a picnic tommorrow we've paid for - there is a shelter so its rain or shine. It's an hour from us, I guess we'll go, but I won't be having fun with squirt guns (a bunch of people bring them and play...) Sunday we have a wedding so Alan gets to spend the day at grandma's (not that she minds).

It's odd Mark and I are in our 40's and we have 3(!) wedding of peers this year to go to. Only one is a second marriage. And they are all odd.. The first wedding, they've been married civily since late last year (her second his first), this is a Jewish ceremony and reception. The next one is a first marriage for both, but they didn't invite people to the ceremony only the reception (which is in the same catering place.) The third wedding is also a jewish cermemony as they were married to each other civily previously. And there could be a fourth wedding, and a definite bar mitzvah and of course Alan's first birthday. (At least Alan gets invited to that, and he did go to his "cousin" Jeff's first birthday party in May.)

I heard Gymboree (a kids clothes) store is a having a big blow out sale next week. I guess summer clothes are NOT selling in the northeast. Alan's barely worn his, he wore more in the 4 days we went to florida than since.

Its hard for me with 5 days a week commuting to NYC. I fell asleep on the bus the other morning and in my scramble to get off the bus at the last stop, I lost my bus pass, which wasn't found :(

I sleep in the master bedroom with Alan's crib next to me. DH often sleeps in the second bedroom. Wednesday night he came into the bedroom when I was a sleep. He found me nursing Alan and asked if I needed a bottle (Alan hadn't drunk his bedtime bottle). I said "No, I'm in the crib" according to DH - I guess I was asleep!

I have one small problem with my daycare provider. Stuff doesn't always come home immediately, I send clothes, bottles in the bag one day and sometimes they don't come home till a few days later. I have extras but since I have enough trouble keeping track of things with lack of sleep it annoys me.

How long is your commute every day?

[lesliepear.livejournal.com]

About an hour to an hour and 1/2, bus and subway and a 2 block walk :(

and that's not including driving Alan to daycare and parking. I get stuck with it most days as DH has to be at work an hour away at 8 AM, when he's not working at home. (and he isn't home 4 days a week because things are busy, its usually 3).

I liked being home 2-3 days week. I'd even settle for 1 day a month :(

Wow, that makes for a long day. so you drive alan to daycare and park and then catch a bus or subway the rest of the way to work?

I drive Alan to daycare and park somewhere (I don't drive all the way home, takes too long) and get a bus. Some nights I have to pick him up also (but usually DH picks up.)

I actually think the "I'm in the crib" line is the best yet. The stuff we say when we're tired.
I have this weird psycho-issue... I always say things are in the microwave. My brain just processes things strange.
Like, "Put the suitcase in the microwave." or weird stuff. THEN people tell me I said MW and I don't believe them, I'm like, Duh, I said Garage.
Hehehe.
