The grass is extremely green this year! No drought in the T.O. since it's been raining pretty much every single day for the past couple of weeks!
The great thing about this is that it's given me time to unpack slowly since we're stuck inside most days because of the rain. I know we can go outside in the rain and we won't shrivel up because of a little rain, but it's hard to take the peanut out and all her stuff on a good day let alone when there is no incentive and it's grey and gloomy.
The new house is great, old and needing a lot of renovations, but none the less it has great energy and I love it. Moving day was crazy since the big family all wanted to help. - Note to self... shouldn't complain about having huge family help moving - Thing is that there were around 20 people moving boxes and painting and running in and out. Kitchen boxes ended up in the bedroom, I couldn't find our washroom stuff box and our bedroom stuff was found in the garage! None the less even though all the boxes were marked nothing ended up where it was supposed to be.
We now have a lot of decisions to make in terms of where to go with the renovations and see what options are the best for our family and budget. Oh joy! renos... If you've ever lived through one, you know it's the hardest thing ever.
So the rain hasn't been all in all a bad thing, it's given me the time to put as much as possible away. Some things are straying in boxes since when we begin the reno, I'll have to pack it up again and it's not an everyday item.
The hubby dubby surprised me last week by taking off the whole week. We didn't get to actually do any vacationy type of stuff or even go out and have fun, but it was great to having him home and sharing some happy family moments with the peanut. Also having him watch the peanut for little bits of time, helped me get a dent on the laundry.
The peanut has always been a pretty good sleeper, but last week was not a good one. She'd wake up every two or so hours and it would take forever to get her sleep. I was at the point where I was going to just let her cry it out because I couldn't take it anymore. I'm still on the fence about the sleep training and crying it out issue.
The problem was also that every time I'd get her to sleep and then was trying to get to sleep myself, the hubby dubby would be snoring! He snores like crazy and sometimes I have to kick him to get him to stop. I can't drift off to sleep if I keep hearing his crazy sounds. I wish it would just stop. Funny how sleep issues come in multiples. Sheesh.
This week, I hope will be much better. He's back at work, but the peanut slept 7 hours straight last night and the night before and since I didn't wake up, I didn't hear the snoring. All is well in peanut land!
