Back to Work, Already?!?

Happy Tuesday! My first question is why can't 3 days of work go as fast as 3 days off?!? The weekend was good for me...it started off a little rough with a stomach bug Thursday night into Friday, but was good overall!
  • Friday was a relaxing night at home. D and I have both been so overwhelmed with our jobs that the only thing we wanted to do was be on the couch and relax.
  • Saturday morning, we got up to run some errands and have our free breakfast (thanks to a coupon) at Ikea. It turns out Ikea was having some sort of big sale on a chair and bookcase, so there was a huge line out front. The cafe was crowded, but we still were able to have breakfast for two for a whopping $4.33. Then after some more running around, we picked up Mom, Meema and Alicia and headed to Carlsbad for our Sister-in-law's 50th birthday party. We ate some good food and hung out for a while. Dropped the girls back home and then dropped D off for him to go to the Padres game. I was so excited for a me night on the couch eating things he doesn't like (tortellini alfredo) and catching up on the DVR. D came home early (around 8:15 ish) because he had done what he wanted and was cold. We spent the rest of the evening hanging out together.
  • Sunday morning, the stress of everything made D a bear and he blew up. This is so odd because he is so calm and mellow and doesn't usually let things get to him. I decided that rather than get involved with his drama, I'd leave him be. We went to Mom's for a barbecue and went our separate ways, which is odd for us. Mom was nervous and worried because she'd never seen us this way plus everyone else was sensing the tension. After dinner, we finally came together. I was never mad at him, but was just giving him space to clear his mind. The evening ended at our friend's home. They have an adorable 3-legged Chihuahua named Rudolph. They treat him like a baby and by night's end, he was all snuggled into me and we were good friends.
  • Monday morning, I woke up at normal time with a headache. I took some ibuprofen and fell back to sleep hoping it would go away. It subsided and we watched 3:10 to Yuma, which was a pretty good movie. The rest of the day was spent cleaning out things and trying to make home look better.

I'm hoping for a quieter week, but am not sure that will happen. The Boss is on vacation this week, so it's just us in the office to deal with things. After some small hiccups this morning, we're in coast mode. Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend and have a great week!

You always have the most amazing stories. I agree though -- why work already?
