strange weekend

I have had a whirlwind weekend. Friday, I woke up feeling more refreshed and better than I have in a long time. So I decided to take advantage of the day, and run a bunch of errands that afternoon. I should have just chosen a few small errands, but instead, I tried to get as much done as I possibly could.

As I'm walking through the grocery store, I start to feel dizzy and hungry. This was a big problem. I had just started my shopping and I knew that if I didn't have a snack of some sort soon, it would mean trouble. As I'm walking through the frozen food section, I start dry-heaving. This happens to me all the time, if I have waited too long to eat something. It's not a pretty picture. I continue to walk and act like nothing is happening, in hopes that the other shoppers won't notice me. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop. I tried to finish my shopping as quick as possible. The last thing I wanted to do, was puke in the grocery store. I made it out to my car just in time to load the groceries and nibble on some of Mason's animal crackers I had in the car. I'm telling you, it could have been ugly.

Saturday morning, I had more errands to run. This time, I was prepared and took plenty of snacks and only went two places. That day was my first attempt at getting Mason to take one nap. It's not that I want to take away his second nap, but for the past several days, he has been playing in his crib, rather than taking his afternoon nap. I took it as a sign to rearrange his nap schedule. It worked like a charm. He took the full afternoon nap and didn't give me any problems. It will be interesting to see if this continues.

Right before I went to bed that night, the door bell rang. Yes, at 10:45pm! I was completely freaked out. We don't have a peep whole on our door, but we have a side window next to it, that is covered with a curtain. I was too afraid to look out. I didn't know what to do. I went into Mason's room and he woke up from the sound, so I quietly tried to put him back to sleep, hoping whoever was at the door would go away.

I called my friend Desiree, that lives a few streets over, and asked if she rang the doorbell. It wasn't her, but she kindly offered to come over and spend the night, since Adam was out of town. She knew there would be no way that I could sleep, if I was alone. I'm so thankful she came over. I still didn't sleep great, but at least I wasn't alone. Adam comes home today and I can't wait.
