Last Saturday I kind of left you guys hanging. Sorry about that. Lately I have been really tired. Like, ready for bed at 10pm tired. That is NOT like me. Tuesday night I actually fell asleep from 11pm-midnight, woke up for about ten minutes to shut off my computer, then went back to bed and slept until almost 11am Wednesday morning! I’m thinking the sudden desire to sleep so much is from something stressful Dan and I have had hanging over our heads. I’ve been worrying about it for weeks, and now that it’s suddenly resolved and gone we can all breathe a big sigh of relief, and I’m no longer running on nerves (seriously, for the last three weeks I’ve been getting an average of 5-6 hours sleep per night!), my body is just ready to crash and crash HARD. Which I did. Two nights in a row.
So, Saturday. We went to this adorable farm that has all these outdoor activities, including a hay ride (didn’t do it because there’s no way Ryan would cooperate for that) and a huge maze (didn’t do that either, because we were running out of time and Ryan was starting to throw a fit). We did a huge built-into-a-hill slide, obstacle course for the kids, enclosed area with a huge ball rolling around in it, stopped by a small playground area for Alyssa and Ryan, had lunch, did some slingshots, and went to a petting zoo. Alyssa loved it all (she cried when we left), and Ryan was happy as long as we kept moving along and kept the stroller going along.
I haven’t been up to too much lately. Alyssa decided she wanted to stay over at my mom’s house on Saturday night. Then she decided she wanted to stay Sunday night, then Monday night and then Tuesday night! I went over to pick her up on Monday night and again on Tuesday night, and both times she tells me, “No Mommy, I want to stay at Ma-mom’s house!” Well, alrighty then!
Don’t get me wrong, I missed my little Lissy girl, but it was definitely quieter without her, and Ryan loved having me all to himself for several days in a row. ♥ I also got a lot more work done!
(And Dan and I had a little more quiet time together!)
All right, it’s late, and Alyssa and Ryan will be up by 10, so I’m going to bed!
Those photos are beautifulll! It looks extremely fun, especially that massive ball. Hooray for having a bit of peace and quiet time for you and Dan, you sure deserve it =) I hope you’ve caught up on a bit of rest now!
Germs really are baaaad. lol
Glad you all had fun. That big ball looks awesome, maybe a little intimidating for short people haha.
Aww it seems like you all had a lot of fun! And I’m glad that you got a little break from crazy Lissy, though I’m sure you really missed her, too.
I hope that everything is going okay now, though, referring to the thing you had hanging over your heads. I’m always here if you need to talk, too. <3
