weekend stuff

The weekend was OK, some good ... some bad - I feel like I'm the only person that looks forward to Monday for a little bit of regularity!? My Discovery Toy Party went well, more people showed up then I expected making for good sales and more free product for me! On Saturday we had two baby showers/ open houses to attend, one was in the morning (close to our house) and the second was at my BFF's out in St.Albert so we were away all day! I decided to also visit my Dad since I was out there so that I didn't have to go back on Sunday. Jacob was a pretty good boy at both events, he has actually been a pretty good boy lately. Happy and talkative, not yelling and cranky - I love how he is so close to communicating and he totally understands everything we say, its not as frustrating as before.

My Dad was doing OK, he needs to go for surgery, which is good and bad, good that they believe it will help him but bad that they aren't sure he has the strength to go through it!? He might have to spend a few days in the hospital which I think would be great!!! And even he said it wouldn't hurt to have a short hospital visit. I also found out on Saturday that my Dads Dad (my Grandpa) had to be air ambulanced home from Yuma, he had high levels of calcium (which apparently means heart attack) and and infection they couldn't figure out. He is now home and they have determined he has lung cancer! I feel like everyone is getting cancer!! They say that cancer directly affects 1 in 4 people but I feel there are 4 people in my family alone that have been touched by cancer!! Sunday we spent it visiting my hubbies family and we went to visit my Grandpa in the hospital.

Jacob has been testing his limits with his bedtime routine, before we would ask him if it was bedtime and tell him to grab his blanky and off he would go to bed, then after about 20 minutes he would escape and stand in the hallway with his teddy bear saying "hi" - it was so cute that we would just figure he wasn't ready for bed and let him stay up a little longer then try again in a half hour, which turned into another half hour and so on. So we put our foot down and now we let him stay up till about 9pm, but when he goes to bed we latch the door. The first night we could hear him whine a bit and when we went to check on him a little bit later he had passed out behind the door on the floor with his huge teddy bear. Last night was a bit better, we could hear him whine but when we went to check on him he was in bed, so either he never bothered getting out of bed or he found his way back. My hubby is going to be away from Thursday till Monday, he has to work at the car show and apparently it is all day all night so I will be handling Jacobs bedtime routine by myself. Hopefully it goes well!? And since he gets 4 days to himself I am seriously considering going to another scrapbook retreat that is in the fall, it is for an entire weekend and just out of town so hubby would be by himself for a weekend. I feel that it is fair, except that my weekend will cost money to attend and his weekend away is going to make money!? ;) lol

I have been going to the gym quiet regularly, I tried to go on Friday but found out when I got there that they don't have day care services on Friday evening so we went home. And all weekend I was busy with other things but I went last night and had a great workout, I tried a new class that really made me sweat but it was good, I'd do it again! I also plan on going at least 2 more times this week. Tomorrow I will weigh in and I'm hoping for a nice number! I must admit I'm slightly jealous of one of my girlfriends that is on a new diet (ideal protein) and has lost 12lbs in a week!! Her girlfriend that is also doing the diet lost 16! It makes my little 1lbs loss seem so tiny!? But I'm not sure I could stick to the strict diet of Ideal Protein, even with seeing the huge numbers!! ? Congrats to them though, they are doing great and I'm glad they both found a diet that works for them.
