Canche Chronicles: The weekend...last weekend that is.

FRIDAY of last week I did not feel very well so I spent most of the day laying around. I threw up in the morning kind of randomly and it didn't get much better from there. I didn't even shower which is saying something because I always shower. David was still gone in South Dakota so I watched the girls from my place on the floor or couch and counted down the times until naps and bedtime. We watched a Dora movie in the evening which I thought would make things easier but as it turns out, Emily really does not sit still for movies and just stands right in front of the screen and makes Haley mad. Julianne made some popcorn and then Emily sat on my lap and ate that nicely. Amanda had texted and asked if we wanted to do dinner with them and I told her David was gone and I felt sick and around 7:30 she stopped by and dropped off a chocolate cupcake, it was so super nice of her. As I recall the kids went to bed fine.

SATURDAY I still did not feel great but I felt better than Friday. I laid around again in the morning and then I took a shower during naptime which I think helped me feel a lot better. I slept during the rest of naptime and then started dinner. David got home just as I was putting dinner in the oven which couldn't have been better timing because I peaced out and laid on the bed while David played with the girls. We ate dinner and then David played with the girls more and then I think we just went to bed.

Saturday night I slept really well and felt much better on Sunday morning. David led worship so he had to leave early and the girls and I came an hour later. Haley was being kind of clingy during the worship time but Emily wanted to be down on the floor rummaging in the diaper bag so it kind of worked out. After church we came home and ate and then watched a little bit of the Eagles game (bad decision, they lost) before laying down and taking naps ourselves. When the girls woke up we took them to the park because they were both a little cranky and we thought a change of scene would help. They were happy to go but Haley was sad when it was time to come home. We made a frozen pizza for dinner and then let the girls play a bit before bedtime.

MONDAY David had to work and we didn't have too much going on. Sorry, I feel like if you haven't already fallen asleep during this post, you are getting close. I didn't feel very good during the day so there was more laying around. I really think I must have 'morning sickness' because it does tend to wear off by evening. This was good because David and I went to a Young Life Banquet in the evening. Julianne and Todd graciously offered to watch the kids while we were gone for about three hours. They said they did really well but Haley was still awake when we got home around 9:30. David and I are big softies after we leave the kids with baby-sitters so we let her lay in our bed and look at pictures on David's phone while David and I read. Then we put her back to bed a little after ten.
