Long Weekend Much Needed

I had to take an extended weekend. Insomnia struck again from 3am-7am on Monday morning and there was nothing I could do about it. So yesterday I called in sick to work and DH and I spent a long, luxurious day off together! We went to eat at La Mad. We went to see Ocean's 13, which was fun. We went shopping at Target. Later I got an ice cream sundae! Then we went running at the park with Tito J. We finished off the day by watching our DVD's of Tough Enough, the cool wrestling reality show, and I passed out before 10pm. I feel good today, better than I have in a long time.

And it was a Happy Father's Day that we had on Sunday, too! The baby and I gave DH his gifts, the new leather wallet w/grooming kit, and a picture I had printed out for her to color that said "Super Dad" and I supervised as she wrote her name on it. (She does it correctly but only if I supervise.) Uncle Mano had slept over on Sat. night so we woke his ass up and we all went to church w/Tito J. It was a local Baptist church, and DH liked it a lot! Tito J. not so much. I must admit, seeing the preacher wearing shorts and flip-flops threw me for a loop at first, but then I realized, "Well, Jesus preached in sandals." Anyway, I think DH definitely wants to go back. They have a lot of youth programs that he's interested in getting the baby involved in, and an awesome lending library. I guess if I have to be Baptist for awhile then I can, but I won't mention it to my grandfather!

After church we all went to eat sushi at a local place; it was ok. DH and I had been meaning to try this place and now we have and now we know! After that we bid adieu to Tito J. and the rest of us went to 1/2 Price Books so the baby could spend some of her b-day money. I ended up reading 21 books to her this entire weekend!

Health note: One good thing about the selling plasma experience, was I found out my iron is good. It should be, I've always taken multivitamins. I went off the Pill for good this week, so now birth control is all in DH's hands. However, starting about a month or so ago I seem to have developed this nervous tic on the right side of my nose near my eye. I'm not surprised, based on all that I've been through lately!!! And still have to go through later this week...
