Weekend Wrapup: Varied But Relaxed

A weekend on the homefront, which was needed by all.

The Highlight:

• A wonderfully quiet Sunday with lots of tiny highlights: Munch turning his face up to me after I put him in his high chair, his eyes closed and his lips turned in a smile; Munch playing in the church nursery and chasing bubbles; and Munch nursing quietly to sleep last night for the first time in a very long time.

The Good:

• Eating Nando's chicken on Friday night (although it was sticky and warm in the restaurant), complete with Portugese wine.
• Going on an afternoon double date with Adam and Jamie to see the gloriously stupid Ted.
• Playing "Where's Monkey?" in Munch's room, as I put the blanket over Monkey and Munch tore it off him.
• Lots of Munch-style dancing, with his head bent to one shoulder.
• Jersey Mike's on Saturday night.
• Increasingly fun bathtimes, as Munch eats the bubbles despite my best efforts to stop him, throws the toys in himself, and says "bye-bye" to the water afterwards.
• Panera on Sunday night, with Munch eating a good dinner, then walking around the thankfully empty room, and our walk around the neighborhood afterwards.
• Reading a creepy, well-written thriller, despite that it did keep me up a little on Saturday night.

The What???

• Feeling stressed over planning issues.
• Feeling on edge during my first time in a movie theater since the CO shooting--but I made it through and that is good.
• The same sleep problems (but hearing from Dr. H that all is normal and what we're doing is not going to damn Munch to a lifetime of sleep difficulties--this was good).
• Still not cleaning up the house as much as we should.
