How do you solve a problem like Maria?

That could have many meanings for me since my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are both named Maria, but I meant it as in the song from Sound of Music of course, since I certainly don’t consider my in-laws as problems ;) The musical was amazing! I think I have convinced a couple of my coworkers to go and see it since I gave it such a good review ;)

My weekend was fabulous. Time with the girls is always a good time! I got home just before 9:30pm on Saturday evening. It took a bit longer than normal to get home because of the congestion getting from Yorkdale to the 401 express, and then because of the very heavy rain, which made for poor visibility. But, mom and I made it home safe and sound!

So I got home on Saturday night and Carlos had finished the painting in the nursery. He worked hard while I was off having fun with the girls! I think he finished mid-afternoon on Saturday, what a man! I am so pleased with how it turned out! Yesterday, we went to get the blinds we had picked out and we spent the afternoon putting our furniture together. In a total of 4 hours, we put the dresser and change table together and hung the blinds and window valence. So, I think we did pretty well! It looks fabulous! Now all we’re missing is the crib, which is supposed to arrive on the weekend. Here’s hoping it arrives on time!

This will be another busy week for me! But I do have one evening free this week (Wednesday), so it’s slightly less busy than last week where I was busy every evening. Tomorrow evening, I am meeting up with an old friend of mine from high school. We recently reconnected through Facebook, so I am excited to see her again and catch up on the last 10 years! We are meeting for coffee, but the earliest she could meet is 8pm. So, I will likely only be able to stay until 9:30pm or so since that has been my bedtime as of late! But, I’m sure we’ll have a nice visit even if it is a short one.

As of today, I am 29 weeks along! Only 11 weeks to go!!!!!

Glad you like the mascara! :)

Sounds like the nursery is almost complete. That'll be nice to have it all done!

Arash did a tonne of work on Saturday too.

1) he was up in the morning to take his car in for an oil change
2) he bought a snow blower
3) he cleaned out downstairs and basement
4) set up the TV downstairs which hasn't been set up since we did our renos
5) cleaned out the garage
6) figured out how to use the snowblower
7) cleaned the kitchen.

I felt more than a little guilty when I got home!!!

Yes, the nursery really is coming together! My goal is to have it all ready by New Years, so a month before my due date, including all the supplies I will need for the first little while. So I guess that gives me about 6 weeks to get everything together.

Lj, sounds like we are both lucky to have men that are so productive while we are away!
