Granny Hat is Pretty Darn Awesome

It was an amazing weekend. I love this little boy and I love being a Granny. And, as the old adage goes, I loved returning him to his parents. 

We did all the things -- including out to an early dinner with friends. It was so fun getting to know him well. Baby hugs are the best.

And I crashed into a vat of chips and chocolate last night. I had just lunch food prepared (mistake), kids were late by 4 hours (surprise) and I was tired and hungry. Not my best planning or choices. I had the baby by myself since hubby left early morning for a business trip. He has a cold so I decided not to take him out of the house to pick up food. That left me with nothing for dinner and no interest in trying to cook something. I planned to run out after they picked him up but it was late. I thought they were on the way, but they hadn't even left Nashville yet. The final few hours were tough -- trying to keep a tired baby awake and entertained. I could have just gone to bed and called it a day after they left, but I wanted to unwind -- so, you guessed it, snack attack. 

Taking the loss and moving on. 

Today I have NOTHING out of the house. Two days of steady rain ahead. I need a regroup and a catch up day. I haven't planned out the week yet but I have a few things toward the end. The next "big" calendar is the trip to Philly in 2 weeks for the wedding shower. This gives me a little time to pace myself {*big sigh*}. 

As usual, the goal is to not waste this time -- use it to relax and craft and ponder new year, etc. I don't need to refresh by sitting on the sofa for 2 days and snacking which leaves me feeling shitty by the end. I have a solo Monday and Tuesday this week with nothing on the calendar and I want to come out of those days feeling refreshed and ready for the rest of the week. This includes getting a few to-dos off my list in the name of getting organized. 

Mantra for the rest of December

Hope you are set for a good week. You know how last week felt like found days (never-ending Sundays), this week feels rushed. Today has Sunday vibes all over it, but it's Monday. I can't forget where I am in the week -- geez. Have a good one. Later gators.
