I Hate Today

Today is Charlie's first official full day back at work.

I hate it already.

His summer schedule was great. He went to work at 8 (before we were even up) and got home between 2 and 4.

Now it's 10 or 11 until around 9 at night.

Blech. It's going to take me awhile to get used to it again. I get so spoiled having an extra set of hands, only to have them taken away from me again.

I returned to Turbo Jam today during Phoebe's nap. I just did the 20 minute workout instead of the 45 one that I did on Friday because Phoebe doesn't take a straight 2 hour nap. No, she wakes up half way through and has to be put back to sleep (i.e. nursed back to sleep. I know, BAD habit that is biting me in the butt now). So I don't have enough time to cool down fully when I do the 45 minute work out before my little toddler needs me, thus, the 20 minute workout.

It still made me sweat pretty hard.

We're having a few West Nile mosquito problems here which is taking away my mornings and evenings to go outside when it's cooler. BOO! I still have yet to research if I can put DEET on Phoebe now (because let's face it, DEET is the only thing that really works. Trust me, I've tried everything else,  I always get bit anyway.), so we're just avoiding it and staying inside at those times. I hate going out at noon or later though, it's still too hot.

Although I'm REALLY (pretty please!) hoping that we're heading into fall now and we won't get anymore surges of 100 degree weather *crossing fingers*.

I've been going into serious mode on getting these party decorations done. I do NOT want to be working on this stuff the week of her party. All I want to do that week is make desserts, get balloons and wrap presents. I still have a little less than a month though, so I'm pretty sure it'll get done.

I cooked a dinner tonight off of Pinterest. I was surprised that I liked it. It was a little salty, but I suspect it was because I used canned parmesan instead of fresh parmesan… oops. Link is here if you want to try it.

Hope everyone else has(d) a lovely Monday. I'm counting down the minutes until hubby makes it home!
