Weekend Recap

Posted on July 13, 2015 by Jen @nutcaseinpoint

This is the first Monday in a long time that I’m glad the weekend is over- only because Mon-Fri usually consists of a more routine day for me and Wes.

Friday: Tyler worked from home, but I acted like he wasn’t there so that Wes and I could still do our normal Friday thing. After a couple of feedings/play/yadda yadda, we went to the mall to walk a few laps. I also managed to restock on my Lush must have’s (ugh…wallet hurt).

Ocean Salt is my go to scrub- LOVE the smell and the consistency and how my skin feels after it’s rinsed off!)

Lovely Jubblies is intended to be a breast cream, but I put it all over my body because the whole thing could use some firming..not just the tatas! Plus, it smells like a dreaaaam. The sales associate told me they were discontinuing this soon which is a HUGE disappointment.

After we got back from the mall, I took Wes for a 45 minute walk around the neighborhood. It was HOT and I got really sweaty, mostly because I was going at a pretty brisk pace and went up every hill I could find. Wes stayed cool in the shade and slept the whole time. Lucky baby.

Tyler made a stupid good pizza for dinner and we watched Home after Wes went to bed. Ok, we watched half of Home because we got too tired.

Saturday: I went to spin in the morning. One of my favorite tracks is Rihanna’s Jump (i have searched high and low for the exact remix and can’t find it. Here’s the closest one->)

Uhhh so good.

Later, I met up with Susie at Stampede. We stuck to the Nashville North tent while we were there. PS: Apparently it’s not as fun when you’re not black-out drunk. Also not as fun when you’re older than 90% of the people there. We still managed to have a good time, a few beers, and I lost my voice from trying to shout over the music.

We walked over to Ange’s place afterwards to watch the fireworks/chat/be annoying. I didn’t get home until 2am! NOT fun to take the train at the end of the night during stampede-so many gross and drunk people!

Sunday: Tyler fed Wes in the AM so I was able to catch up on a bit of sleep (PHEW). The rest of the day was spent doing chores, playing with Wes, watching the last day of stampede, and squeezing in a workout.

How was your weekend??

This weekend actually felt good and long! Although, now that I say that I sure do miss Tyler already. Stupid work. But I don’t mind all this alone time I get with Wes. Makin’ him a mama’s boy for reals. BONUS: I remember all the things we did this weekend.

Friday: Friday was the first day of Stampede! Since Wes and I couldn’t make it downtown for the parade, I made sure to celebrate at home with some pancakes. Susie came over and we watched Day 1 of the rodeo and Wes took a series of awesome little naps. Later in the evening, Tyler and I started on Season 2 of True Detective and Ballers. PS: Susie and I will be heading to Stampede this Saturday- my first girls trip out without the babe! I’m super excited…minus the whole boobs thing.

Saturday: I headed off to a 9:30 spin class (Was a little bummed that Wes still hadn’t woken up yet, so I couldn’t say bye!). I really love the instructor for this class and plan on making more of her classes. The only thing I still can’t wrap my head around is the disco ball- it’s a little too strobe-lighty and it’s dizzying! It was still an awesome workout though- such a great way to start the weekend!

We ventured out to Home Depot and Costco (seems to be a typical Saturday now) and I was able to have a snack plate out on the patio and enjoy the sunshine before a quick and MASSIVE hail storm rolled through. Wes was just being a cute baby.

And Tyler made us burgers. NOM NOM NOM. After Wes went to bed, we watched Star Wars Episode IV. Talk about a throwback!

Sunday: We slept in then took yet another trip to Home Depot (they really should have a frequent shopper program there!) The rest of the day was spent hanging around the house, doing chores and being awesome. No pictures necessary for the ‘being awesome’ part.

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of our wedding (Even though we’ve been married about 3 1/2 years now) and tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY. Aka: the best day of the year. I seriously love birthdays. I hope Wes got me something good. Besides barf and poo.

Hi friends, happy Monday! I wish employers gave everyone the summer off so that Tyler could stay home with us when the weather’s nice. There’s so much to do! Ok, recapping the last few days:

Friday: I took Wes to the mall to get a few more short-sleeve sleepers. I ended up finding a SKIRT (insert gasp here) and flip flops for myself as well. I attempted to take Wes for a walk when we got home, but the sun was pretty hot. I managed to walk a route that was mostly shaded (almost 3 miles?) and made sure he got some of the breeze through the blanket I used to cover him from the sun. He actually slept through the walk, which allowed me to enjoy a beer on the patio while he finished off his nap! And then Tyler and I enjoyed a DELICIOUS steak dinner (made with my new favorite potato salad recipe) and watched Chappie once Wes went to sleep.

Saturday: We drove out to Canmore to have lunch at The Grizzly Paw. This was one of our favorite places to go to for a meal and definitely for beer because both are so delicious. BUT, this time was different. Not only did they put us at the most awkwardly-positioned table (for Wes’s carseat to fit) but the food was terrible, and the prices were raised! We were so disappointed that our go-to spot is now off the list. 😦 At least it was a beautiful day out so the trip wasn’t a complete waste.

We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging around the house (ummm YES to A/C!). Tyler made dirt dog sauce for dinner and we watched some PVR’d episodes of Jimmy Fallon and SNL. I think the heat and the drive wiped us out because we both went to bed early!

Sunday: GUYS–> Wes slept for 12 hours. That’s insane. Sure, it makes him stay awake for most of the day, but I’d prefer that over a crap night! I mowed the lawn and worked out before it got too hot out, then Tyler went to football practice (dumb idea- he’s a lobster now!) I was able to escape to the patio for a few minutes for some sun, but only lasted 20 minutes…if that. WOOF it was hot. The dogs wouldn’t even go out there! The rest of the day was spent doing chores and entertaining the wee one. We were in bed by 9:30 and that’s that.

And here we are at Monday…again. Seriously, it’s like you blink and the weekend is over! Not fair. Per usual, I forget what I even did on Friday, so I have to scroll through my photos on my phone to see if they trigger anything.

Friday: yup. no clue. I DO remember there was some crappy weather. And I DO remember drinking wine. Tyler made some yummy pork tenderloin for dinner, baby went down at 9:30 and we watched American Sniper.

Saturday: I went to my first post-baby spin class! I was SO excited to test out my new spin shoes too. The last time I went to spin was on Christmas Eve and I noticed the studio had made some changes since. Most of them were decorative changes, but I also found out mid-class that they added a strobe light/disco ball. Umm….MY EYESSSSSS

I mean, it was super cool but holy hell I really needed to focus so I wouldn’t fall off my bike. And you know the music is loud when they offer free earplugs to all participants. Does it make me old that I’m complaining about these things? Yeah, probably. But I did love the music!!!!!

After class, I came home and Tyler said Wes slept until about 10. Hallelujah! I showered, we ate, and then we were off to run a few errands! Well, I’m an idiot and the combination of extreme sweating from spin + breastfeeding + coffee = extreme dehydration and I just about died as we left Costco. It took about 4-5 hours for me to get back to a somewhat normal state.

For dinner we had chicken fajitas then watched a movie (again, Wes went down around 9:30!). I ended up falling asleep during the movie, so I went to bed while Tyler stayed up a bit longer.

Sunday: I was up with Wes at 8:30 and managed to just relax in front of the TV with him while we let Tyler sleep in (10:45..lucky guy!!). Tyler made eggs benedict and then he opened his presents! He wound up cleaning the kitchen afterwards AND making dinner which I felt terrible about considering it was Father’s Day, but he said I had the tougher job of managing the baby so he was happy to do all the kitchen work. Ha!

omg are they cute or what?!

I started week 1 of T25 Beta round as well. It’s now been a year that I’ve used these DVDs and I think I can officially say I’m sick of them. I need to put them away for a while at least. AND AS OF 2 SECONDS AGO- I just bought the 21 day fix EXTREME challenge pack- which includes Shakeology. I have never tried the Shakeology before, but it doesn’t hurt to give it a go. Plus, Tyler reminded me that buying this is way cheaper than a gym membership. Yes yes yes.

Anyhoo, my hip flexors are a bit sore from spinning on Saturday and GOD DAMN my boobs cannot handle the jumping from T25..but I will power through! Plus, the forecast looks great for this week so I’ll be able to log quite a few walks with Wes and the dogs!

I knew I should have typed this up as soon as the weekend was wrapping up….because I totally forgot what we did. Let’s see how good this memory is for me….

FRIDAY: Wes and I headed to Chinook mall and walked around for a few hours. I also checked out a new/used kids store. We had pizza for dinner. I think that’s it?

SATURDAY: I got up pretty early with Wes and we did his morning routine before I headed out to get my hair done! I went to my stylist’s house for the appointment because she’s also on mat leave and it was a great few hours. Not only did I get some time out of the house, but I left with a fresh new color/cut. I picked up a couple bottles of wine on the way home then putzed around for the rest of the day. We watched Focus then called it a relatively early night.

SUNDAY: Wes was a sleep machine! after a 6ish wakeup, he was up again around 9, then passed out on my lap for a few more hours! This is when I demonstrated REAL strength- I had to pee for the 2 1/2 hours he slept on me and I held it the entire time. As soon as Tyler came in the room, I passed him off!

I had a friend and her daughter come over in the afternoon and we did some Father’s Day crafts while Tyler worked on cleaning up his truck to sell. It was a great few hours of crafts and conversation. We rounded out the weekend with Game of Thrones–> immmm BIG finale episode!!! PS: Tyler sold his truck yesterday, so we’re finally down to 2 family-friendly vehicles!

See you tomorrow for Winesday Wednesday…where I take a 2 minute break to NOT take pictures of Wes or talk about Wes or anything baby related!
