Sunny 9 for 2005 August 22

(2) Mon Aug 22 2005 11:03 In the year two-thousand, in the year two-thousand: This morning I wanted to wake up at 5:30 am with Aaron to help him so he could study for his test today. He doesn't like getting up by himself b/c it makes him feel even more tired and unmotivated, so I offered to get up with him which was fine b/c this week is our carpool week and I needed to get a lot of stuff done before I went on my walk this morning. I woke up to the alarm for Aaron but he said to sleep a little while longer. So I did. A lot longer. In fact up until the time we had to go. But I still had to feed Lily. So I had to drive the boys all the way to school instead of their brother's to get a ride to school, b/c I didn't want to make their brother, Josh, late.

So I didn't get Lily her full breakfast, or water our lawn, or make Aaron's lunch, or eat breakfast myself. So by the time I got home and watered our lawn and did all the rest, it was Lily's nap and getting hot so I couldn't go on my walk. Hopefully this afternoon will be overcast, and better yet I hope it rains tonight so I don't have to water my lawn. That would be an added bonus.

Aaron and I just got our grass put in a couple days ago. They put dead grass in which makes me mad, and worse I have to water it all the time, and we have a large yard so it takes like two hours worth of moving the sprinkler here to there, twice a day. Such is life if you buy a home I guess. I wish I could put in a sprinkler system and then it would be so easy.

This weekend Aaron went to the garden center and picked out some beautiful flowers and bushes and put them in himself. It looks awesome, and I am so proud that he got cute flowers without me even prompting him and he did so well placing them in the flower bed. Thanks, my hard working hunny!

Now they have the water turned off for a couple hours due to construction here, so I can't do laundry, clean my bathroom, or take a shower.

Enough complaining though. This weekend we played games with Aaron's family and it was really fun. Josh and Jenni won both times playing Trivial Pursuit. I think the longer you are married the better you are at winning team games b/c it was in the same order both times with Aaron and I in second and Jake and Erin last, as is the case with Password. Or maybe I am just making that up.
