Long weekend, day 2

I love it when we get a long weekend! Mike was off yesterday for his flex Friday and Monday is Memorial day. After him and Kae went to the airport yesterday morning and brought home breakfast, Margret and I did some shopping. Margret got a bunch of stuff and I got Kaelin a new Elmo outfit and a Dora nightgown. She is in desperate need of new pjs that are summer appropriate. We went and got the rest of the things we need for the gardens. So today we'll finish spreading mulch in the front garden then Mike is going to build a garden box in the backyard for our vegetable garden. Kaelin loves digging in the dirt so gardening is perfect for her! Then I need to clean the fridge and hopefully my sewing room. Tonight we've been invited to go see Horton Hears A Who in the park with some friends. That's Kaelin's favorite movie so it should be fun! Tomorrow I intend to clean the house and do some reorganizing. Then we're going to a cookout at Mom's house. Monday Katy and David are coming down for the day, We intend to hang out in the pool and grill some burgers. Which reminds me, I need to go to the store today.

Mike and I watched The Fog after Kaelin went to bed last night. It was pretty good with just the right amount of gore. I'm ashamed to admit my level of tolerance for scarey movies has gone down, gives me nightmares. Anyways, when she woke up she would not go back to sleep. She screamed for about twenty minutes not knowing what she wanted. We finally got her settled down and gave her some tylenol. She came to bed with us and fell asleep watching a baby Einstein video. So today Mike wants to hang her TV in her room so she can watch it in bed. Hopefully that'll help her want to stay in her bed. I really want to discuss her sleeping habits and how to wean her with her pediatrician next month. The kid is sucking the life out of me! Just kidding, but really, I'm done nursing her. She's getting too old and I just don't enjoy it anymore. I don't regret going as long as we have, I'm just ready to have my body back to myself for a bit.
