I’m a little late with my week in review, but I have a good excuse. It was a stomach bug, and I will leave it at that. Because the details are horrific.
So here’s my (mostly) puke-free week in review:
Monday
I started working part-time from home. After the baby and then moving, I thought leaving my job was going to be like a dream. Turns out, after 5 years of being there and helping while the company was built from the ground up, it was kind of hard to leave. So I’m pretty happy to be back. And I get done working with plenty of time to watch all my stories. I’m kidding. Sort of. I swear I watched that episode of Days of Our Lives on accident.
Tuesday
I finished watching the first season of Downton Abbey on Netflix. And, don’t send me a pipe bomb in the mail for saying this, but I just don’t get the hype. Of course, this is coming from the woman who “accidentally” watches Days of Our Lives. So maybe my opinion doesn’t mean very much.
Wednesday
We finally got a proper changing table (thanks Mom and Dad!). Not that getting changed on top of a kitchen cart wasn’t effective:
But this is slightly nicer:
Thursday
It was a pretty big day. I did the dishes. Almost had a massive heart attack trying to play Just Dance. Got hopelessly addicted to Family Feud (thanks a lot Ryan). Decided I should write a book. Sat at my desk for an hour considering whether anyone would want to read a book about one girl’s love affair with cake and vodka.
Friday
It was freakishly warm. I’m talking double digits here. So, naturally, we went for ice cream. Wyatt tried to challenge us to a boxing match while we were out, but since he still doesn’t have full head control and the fool can’t walk, it really wasn’t much of a contest. Babies.
Saturday
Ryan made me breakfast. I bathed. We moved the treadmill down to the basement. I decided that was enough of a workout for at least a week. My goal of running a half marathon this year might turn into a goal of me watching other people run a half marathon while I eat a bag of fun size Snickers if I keep up with that kind of thinking.
Sunday
And, then there was Sunday. Oh Sunday. I promised, no horrific details. So I’ll just leave you with a picture of Wyatt wearing pants on his head.
He’s so trendy.

You don’t get the hype of Downton Abbey??
Honestly, I don’t know why I love it either. But I seriously do.
You guys are officially bad ass parents. I mean, look at that versatile changing table you guys made; those should be sold on tv or something.
Sorry to hear about the stomach bug, thats never any fun.
If you don’t get the Downton hype, I’m not sure we can be friends anymore.
Kidding! Actually I’m not sure why I enjoy it so much, other than my unhealthy obsession with all things British. Plus, Maggie Smith is hilarious!
I thought season 2 was too much like a soap opera, but I’m hoping season 3 is better. So far, I’m mostly just yelling at Edith to stop being so desperate and rolling my eyes at Mary every two minutes. And laughing at Maggie Smith’s brilliant one liners.
I’ve never seen Downton Abbey. I ‘accidentally’ DVR Young & the Restless daily. And a book about cake and vodka?! I’m so in 🙂 Have you ever read Janet Evanovich’s stuff…esp. the Stephanie Plum series? and I want to run a 5K in the spring, but have I started running? Nope. Walking? Only to the fridge and other necessary places. *sigh*
I don’t really “do” the whole cable thing (other than the occasional episode of House Hunters), but just from the ads and talk of Downton Abbey (which, let’s be real, for the longest time I said in my head, “DownTOWN Abbey”) I just know I’d hate it. British accents kinda drive me up the wall. I know, I’m flying my freak flag high today.
I think cake and vodka sound like a great place to start a book. Also, a snickers marathon sounds waaaaaaay better than a regular marathon. Let’s organize one of those stat.
Ok, now I have to see what the hype is about DownTown Abbey. lol Stopping by from SITS
Love it! I have to be honest….I have never had a proper changing table ever…and I have 5 kids! I haven’t watched any of the Downton Abbey…don’t think I will! Stopping by from SITS!
Lol I love love the changing table in the kitchen…something that I would do! Thanks for dropping by…your baby is too adorable!!
I really like your marathon goal. I do something similar…I watch The Biggest Loser while eating treats like chocolate. 🙂 I do love Downton Abbey though hon. Sorry.
I will read your book if you will read mine “confessions of the worst stay at home mom ever”. I’m not even kidding.
Family Feud is addicting. I may have spent some money getting coins. loser.
also days of our lives? yes. I watch it, and if you need to accidentally need to talk to someone about it and all its cheesy, soap opera, awesomeness…i’m here for you.
p.s. did you see about the midwest blogger get together. you need to be there.
