Midweek Confessions

I know I am a day late but better late than never. Here it goes...

~ I am so excited about March Madness. I enjoy filling out the brackets and watching the games. Normally, I do not get to watch all the games since I  am teaching 15 year olds (who are on their own laptops watching the games thinking I don't notice it) However, this year I get to watch them all and see how I am doing on my bracket after every game. See,I got addicted to March Madness when I was in graduate school at JMU. I entered a bracket pool where there were 18 guys and 2 girls in the pool and ended up winning the bracket and $350.00. So, I keep hoping it happens again but haven't been so lucky since.  


~ I really have to give it to single moms. I have SO much help and I feel like I am always busy with Harper. Will has been beyond helpful and always is feeding , changing diapers or playing with Harper when he is home. And of course both our families have been around to give us breaks and help out. The bummer is Will has to be out of town 12 nights the next 3 weeks and I'm not looking forward to it :-(.


~ Last week after I confessed about how great of a sleeper Harper is I got a nice reality check :-).. Harper decided to wake up at 2 and 4 that night. However, she has continued to be a great sleeper but for that night she exhausted me. That's what I get for being naive..


~Last night,  I was so tired that I took out my eye contacts and could not remember where I put them. So, this morning I had to wear my glasses until I found another set of contacts.


~ Even though we have decided to go on 2 "date nights" we have not gone to our usual Mexican restaurant. For the 9 years we have been together we have always gone to Mexican each week. It has been 3 weeks since I went out for tacos and queso dip and I am really craving it!! I am thinking about burning dinner tonight, so we can go to Mexican. Yes, I said that! 


~ There is this street near our neighborhood where the residents decide not to park in their driveways, but on the road in front of their houses instead. This really drives me nuts! Every time you drive down this street you have to pullover to let people pass you because there is no room left on the street due to the cars parked. We understand if you have family or friends over that may need to park in front of the house from time to time, but some people treat the street like a parking lot and they actually have room in their driveways to park. I mean the same van has been parked in front of this house for 2 years. Really??


~ We took Harper to visit Will's dad (aka Pops) and stayed the last two nights. It was not as bad or as hard as I thought. I assumed Harper would not do well staying in another house but she did fine. As long as she has this pillow called a boppie she is content. This pillow has been the best. Harper is able to sit in this pillow throughout the entire day when she's asleep and awake.
