Thank goodness the weekend is over!

I was looking forward to this last weekend so much. The last two weeks at work have been long ones.

But, this weekend proved to be busy, and long. Saturday was spent doing some shopping. Wyatt needed some new summer clothes. And, now it's supposed to dip back down into the 40's this week again. So, I cleaned out his room, dropped off the clothes that no longer fit to Goodwill, had some lunch with hubby and the tadpole at Steak N Shake (note to self, don't let hubby give Wyatt chili noodles ever again, more on that later) and we went to K-Mart. I bought Wyatt quite a few new clothes, including socks. Hubby bought some fishing stuff and I got a new hummingbird feeder since I broke the last one while cleaning it out for the season.

Yesterday hubby went fishing. That left Wyatt and me to go grocery shopping. I tried to get him to nap first . . . but NOOOOOO! So, I packed him in the car and then went to pack the rest of the stuff. By the time I packed all of it in (including the car seat that needed returned) and looked for the receipt for the car seat (which i could find) and unpacked the car seat . . . Wyatt was fairly cranky. Two minutes onto the highway, he was asleep. So, I thought I would go thru the drive-thru ATM to make a deposit to let him sleep a little longer. The ATM was out of order. Ok, strike 2 for today's plans.

He gave me a hard time most of the way thru Wal-Mart. He wanted me to hold him. But, I couldn't hold him and push the cart. I tried entertaining him by giving him his plastic keys but he kept throwing them down. So, I picked up a stuffed bunny from a shelf. He loved on it and played with it and cooed at it. In the middle of the grocery section, I realized that he had eaten half of the tag from it. No wonder the boy is constipated. That reminds me, the chili noodles turned out to be a nasty diaper changing episode Sunday morning before leaving for the store. By the time we got home from the store, we were both cranky. I gave him a bottle and took him into his room to rock him and put him down for a nap. Where I discovered that I hadn't put the sheets back on his bed from washing them that morning. Strike 3.

So, I did that, put him down for the nap, brought the groceries in and put them away, fed him and laid down on my bed (with no sheets because they were in the wash) and read for a little bit.

Once he got up, he spent the rest of the afternoon giving me a hard time. While in his walker, he figured out how to pull the keyboard drawer out on the computer desk and steal our cordless mouse. I kept scolding him and putting it back. I caught him doing it again and called him by first and last name. He yelled "NO!" at me (the first time he's done that), "ran" in his walker over to the cat and threw the mouse at her. He spent most of the afternoon stealing whatever he could and throwing it at her. By the time daddy got home from fishing, I was mentally and physically exhausted.

I still can't find the receipt to the car seat. But, a co-worker says I can take it back to Wal-Mart anyways and get store credit. I'll give it a try this week. We'll see.

It looks like the driver might be out for my printer to work with Vista. I can't wait to get home and try it.

I also need to see if I'm going to get our business taxes file in time or if I need to file an extension. The deadline is 2 weeks away and I haven't even started. YIKES! I had to file an extension because I know I'll just put it off until the last minute of THAT one.
