a slow day

i can't believe i'm going to say this.

today i am actually bored.

TJ should be home from work any minute now.

there is chicken marinating in the fridge for dinner.

i have vacuumed.
swept and moped the kitchen.
dusted some base boards.
balanced the check book.
cooked some beans for a soup i ended up not making b/c i discovered i had no tomato sauce.
talked on the phone (ALOT)
ground up some uncooked brown rice into powder to make baby cereal with.(it's cheaper to do it yourself than buy baby ceral)
washed some dishes.
folded some laundry.
caught sipits of the soaps here and there.
washed out a milk crate thingy to put toys in b/c we don't have anything to make a good toy box out of. it's not very nice so i draped a fitted sheet around it to disguise it and filled it up with the toys he uses most that i leave stashed around the house b/c i would hate tracking back and forth from his room for each one. now they are centrally located.

i got all of that done by 3 pm.

and i've been bored ever since.

teege woke up from a nap at 3 and we went and played outside. apon which i though he decided he was hungry in the middle of our play time. i fixed him a bottle. he ate 2 oz of it. and the procedded to pitch a fit.
i went and laid him down.
i hear him sing out every now and then. he is just in there, in the dark, looking around. what the heck is up with that??

he's been napping rather well lately.
i think i've figured out the right combo of wake time/activities that he's tired enough when he lays down that he sleeps for 2 hours, rather than either so over tired or over stimulated (or both) that he only sleeps for 45 mintues. YAY ME! i get good chunks of time to myself now!
and he's weened to.
it was so much easier than i expected b/c he was already used to getting a bottle. it was just a matter of days before he chose the bottle over my boobs. i was saddned at first. but that lasted all of 2 days before i was FREE!!!! and i felt good about it!

i guess i could go find something else to do. if i clean the bathroom today then i don't have to do ANYTHING tomorrow and i can eat popcorn and watch all the movies in my DVR that have been patiently waiting for me to have time to view them.

that's not such a bad idea.........
