A day of rest...lol

Today is Sunday, otherwise known as the day of rest. Yes, I find that funny. I started my day off by being woke up at 3:30am by Lexington. On Friday night, my sweet little cherub when to sleep at roughly 11 pm and slept until 10:20 am on Saturday morning. He never woke during this time. I, however, had to wake at 7:30 Saturday morning to get myself ready and wake Garrett up so he could get ready for his basketball game. We had to leave our house a little before 8:30 to ride with his friend Graham, his mom Valisha, and her mom who were nice and allowed us to carpool. We did not make it home until close to noon. that being said, my sweet little angel, Lexington went to sleep last night at 10:45 roughly only to wake at 3:30, and again at 4:15 at which time we put him in bed with us. When Lex sleeps with us, it is a very uncomfortable sleep. Ben and I share a queen size bed, so once my sweet little man who is only a little over 2 foot tall (29" to be exact) decides he needs to sleep with mom and dad, it becomes a very crowded bed as he thinks his 29" frame needs the whole bed to himself. Therefore, Ben winds up with roughly 14 inches on his side of the bed, I get maybe the same amount on my side of the bed and Lexington gets everything in between so he can stretch out. I believe somewhere around 6:30 Ben woke up and decided to finally move Lexington to his own bed once more. We then slept until around 9:30 when Lexington woke us up yet again. I, refusing to get up, lounged in bed catching up on reading some emails from my phone. I finally got my lazy bones out of bed around 10am and came out to check on Lex and everyone else. Ben started breakfast and we finally sat down to eat around 11:30. The whole time he was working on breakfast, I was working on dishes and cleaning off the kitchen counters. After breakfast, I jumped in the shower and then Garrett, Kimberly and I left Ben and Lexington at home to head to church. Church was nice, and Kimberly and I left after sacrament, and Garrett stayed for Sunday school and Primary. Kimberly and I travelled to a few quick destinations where I had to run quick errands before returning home at roughly 3:15 pm. Once home, Ben and I worked on folding laundry, then Kimberly and I picked up toys on the living room floor. Garrett came home around 4:30 and Ben and Kimberly left around 4:45 to take Kimberly to meet her mom in Searcy. Garrett, Lexington & I were at home and Lexington kept getting into the cereal and dragging it out. At one time, he climbed into the drawer with the cereal and started eating it dry. I did not find this very amusing, but had to laugh, they are only this size once. Soon, however, Lexington was not in a very good mood and kept crying. He was very upset and nothing I was doing seemed to help. He wanted up in my lap, he wanted down, he wanted me on the floor then he wanted me in my chair, he wanted me to walk around with him, then he wanted to sit in my lap again. Luckily about the time we were both getting very frustrated, Ben came home. This meant I had to start working on dinner. After dinner, Lex needed a bath, then I had to get him dressed. After getting dressed, he needed his fingernails cut, and his teeth brushed. Next up was story time, then a little milk, and now he is sound asleep in his bed. Unfortunately, I had home work to do, and then decided to blog. So day of rest, lol, don't see it happening today. I have finished my homework, I have finished my blog. Now I am going to read a little and hopefully get in bed in the next 45 minutes so I can wake up tomorrow and do it all over again.

Where does time go?

It's been so long since I have logged in and blogged. I always mean well, although I am not sure that the whole world wants to be kept up to date with every little thing going on in my life. I feel if I can't write something extremely profound then what is the point. Yet, here I am at almost midnight on a Saturday with absolutely nothing to write about, blogging my little heart out anyway.
Can I say, one of the hardest jobs I have is being a parent?! There are no instruction booklets to tell us what we need to do. It is so hard. There is a lot going on in my life right now, and I really want to talk about it, some of those who are closest to me have been kept in the loop some, but I really want to get this off my chest, but for the time being, it's all kept inside. I am ready for some answers to be revealed so that life can move forward. Once I know what track our life is going down (whether it be the same one or a new track altogether) I will have to log in and blog to keep up to date on my life. For now, I feel I am living in limbo.
As always, there is much to do, and I stay very busy. Garrett is in basketball, and I must say, he has picked it up very quickly and does well, but we have practice 3 - 5 days a week and games on Saturday mornings which take up time. I am in school working on my masters which takes time. Lexington is growing by leaps and bounds, not just with his accomplishments each day but also physically growing so he can reach more things and climb in new places which also takes up my day. I am getting ready to start on Rhea Lana and then yard sales, after which it's going to be time to look into goodwill. I am ready to start "cleaning" house and get rid of things. Unfortuntately, it just seems we have too many people living in one home. A lot of the things I don't feel I can give away or toss. I am ready to live with less, I am tired of the clutter.
Well, it's after midnight and we have church tomorrow. I am headed to bed. Good night blogspot audience. I hope you have enjoyed this issue of "a day in the life".
