Day 26: My Week in *some* detail

Monday was MLK day, so Stephan did not have school or work. We slept in, had a late breakfast, then ran some errands. We stopped at Subway for lunch--I got a sweet onion chicken teriyaki sandwich, with onions, lettuce, and pickles. For some reason, I've started liking pickles recently. I used to hate them. Stephan had a roast beef sandwich with cheese and veggies...no dressings. He doesn't like dressings on his sandwiches or salads, unless it's the ginger dressing at Yamato. I must learn that recipe.

On Tuesday, Stephan worked from 8-12. I did some cleaning while he was gone and then took a shower. While I was in the shower, the FedEx guy knocked on my door. Unfortunately, I didn't get it, for obvious reasons. So, he left it at a neighbor's house. I didn't notice this until I was leaving to pick Stephan up--the guy left a note on the door. But I didn't have time to get it, plus, I knew it was my sewing machine. I picked Stephan up, we stopped at the bank, then went home and got my sewing machine. Stephan had fun playing with the parts.

I didn't sleep well Tuesday night, so I was *very* tired Wednesday morning. I also woke up with the mother of all shoulder pains. Ouch. I took Stephan too school, and went back to bed for about three hours. Yes, I was very tired. Then I got up and tried to clean. At two, I picked Stephan up from school. We made enchiladas for dinner that night (new recipe) and they turned out way too spicy. We are never getting "hot" enchilada sauce ever again.

I didn't sleep well again Wednesday night. Wha? And I had to wake up at 4:30 a.m. to let Misti drop Aiden off on our couch. After she dropped him off, I went back to bed. We got to sleep in a little, but then Aiden came to our door because he needed to use the bathroom. We got up, got some breakfast (gave Aiden a granola bar because that's what he wanted). Then we took Stephan to work. Aiden was upset that Stephan was gone because he wanted to play Wii with him. We went back to Aiden's apartment, got him dressed, got him some food, and watched a little bit of Pirates 2. Then he randomly turned it off. Grr. He wanted me to play with toys with him. I am not much of a playing with toys person. I just watched him play. Then his mom came home, and I left to go pick Stephan up from school.

Friday was kind of a rough day. I had gone to bed earlier, but had to wake up at 4:30 again to let Misti and Aiden in. And then I had to wake up again around 7-ish to take Stephan to school. Aiden wouldn't wake up, so I had to carry him to the car. He is a very tall four-year-old, so this was not an easy task. He finally woke up in the car, but wouldn't go to sleep when we got him (much to my chagrin). Aiden played on the Wii for a little while, but not long enough for me to get a nap in. He usually does *sigh*. I got him some food, then we went back to his apartment and watched Pirates 3. We watched it all the way through, yay. After the movie was over, I told him that it was time to get dressed. He told me he had to play with his toys first, but I countered that by telling him that he would get dressed and *then* play with his toys. He wanted me to dress him, but I know he can dress himself, and told him he could dress himself. An argument ensued (I know, arguing with a four-year-old), he stripped naked, and I still told him that he could dress himself (yes, I'm mean). He finally dressed himself, but told me to look away, never mind that he stripped naked in front of me. I don't remember everything that happened after that, but we did watch some Rupert on Qubo at one point. Then his mom came home, and I left to go get Stephan.

Saturday, we had planned to go to the temple, but I came down with a cold (again?). I took Stephan to work, and then tried to rest when I got home. I took a hot shower (ahhh) and tried to be human. At two, I picked Stephan up, and we tried to retrieve a package of his from UPS, but alas, the site was closed. Then we went to his mom's house so she could work on my aching shoulder. She did that, and worked on some pressure points on my foot to help my cold. It helped a lot! We hung out for a while, and then went and got some dinner and came home.

Today, we went to church, got sustained as Meetinghouse Librarians, Stephan had a case of vertigo (not fun),  but he did recover. Then we came home, had some leftover too-hot enchiladas, and here we are.
