3 days weekend. what a nice thing it is to have a holiday. Yesterday we spent the day with Beth at Bill and Mary's house (they are out of town). Between the three of us we watched Ella while managing time to read and relax.
Ella was in a good mood for most of the day. She is very active and wants us to be a part of her endless activity. i just can't handle it. i am more of a nap and read person but i somehow manage to make it through each day and to feel some pride about not being an awful parent.
Today started out gray and rainy and because it was my day to sleep in while Carl attended to Ella i didn't think twice about it until i finally did wander downstairs at 8 am and found Carl frustrated with Ella. She loves to go outside but for obvious (to us) reasons she couldn't today and this put her in crying/whining mode. Carl put up with it as long as he could but as soon as i came down he went back to bed. i understand. Ella does that to me too. Right now they are out at the gym where Carl has been taking Ella on Sundays to swim so i can have some quiet.
i don't know what we will be doing the rest of the weekend but it is nice to not have any plans since every weekend for the rest of the month is already packed with plans.
