Sunday nights… I’ve learned to hate em. Sometimes it comes and goes and you don’t realize it, but when you have a great weekend and then Sunday night comes and you realize it’s almost over, it’s hard to let go of the past two days. You don’t want the day or the night to end. At least I don’t. Because after a great weekend, going to work on Monday morning is not the way to cap it all off. To solve this problem, Monday should be a day of rest and relaxations. I bet everyone agrees.
I hung out at work Friday just to get some confirmation on charges for AICD’s we perform at the hospital. The boss wasn’t in all afternoon so I did some preliminary calculations on charges and costs and reran a full years worth of data. I discovered different issues in this analysis versus the one I did in August. Which means more work for someone else who needs to correct the problem(s). But who wants to hear about that?
I got home on Friday night and was completely worn out. Two hours of sleep the night before, a long day at work, and Friday night traffic. We had a quick easy “Griller” hamburger dinner and I got the kids to bed at 7:00. I was in bed at 7:30 and was out like a light.
1:00 AM… Jacob peed in his bed. I swear he went to the bathroom before bed but maybe not. So I got him changed and he crawled into bed with me. 4:00 AM… Jacob peed in my bed. WHAT THE HELL?!?! I got him clothes, put a towel on the small wet spot and told him to get changed and get back to sleep. I was a complete zombie during all this.
And Saturday morning I think the kids hit a record on sleeping in. Jake woke up at 7:15 and Bella woke up at 7:45. Donna got back from work at 8:45 and Jake and I raced to his baseball tryouts.
It was packed. And he was the smallest one out there. I was a little nervous until I saw him out there on his own doing what he does best – making the coaches think ‘who’s that little kid out performing the big kids’. Yeah, his bat isn’t as strong as the others, but he was hitting every ball that came his way and never flinched, never blinked and ALWAYS kept his eye on the ball. He charged the ball and stepped and threw. There was a lot of praise from the coaches who were evaluating the kids.
Two hours of baseball and we went to the Galleria for pretzels and sunglass shopping.
We played video games when we got home and then we took a nap. My dad took Bella to church so it was Donna sleeping and Jake and I joining her at around 1:00.
Later that night we went to my sister’s house for a baby shower and stayed up late. It was fun.
Sunday we all went to the Rose Bowl. Jake biked while I ran the 3.1 miles. After many stops because he was tired, we finally finished in 34 minutes. Not bad. Especially after a pace of walking as he biked up the incline.
We visited the bike store to get him some hand brakes, went to the Montrose Farmer’s Market and came for naps. I watched most of the Pittsburgh/Denver game before falling asleep. Then we went to the Galleria, got a humidifier at Sharper Image, picked up food at CPK and Donna and I had a nice full glass of Pinot Grigio with the dinner. Finally, all of us cuddled up in bed to watch “The Incredibles”.
The Incredibles (2004)
My Rating: 10/10
My Review: An incredible movie. Watch it. Own it. Know it.
Can a weekend get any better than that?
And here I am dreading morning.
And those interested in the answer to the Mensa Quiz of the day for Friday, here is the answer…
QUESTION FOR JAN 20:
You have decided to take your morning run in preparation for the local marathon at an average speed of 6 miles per hour. Unfortunately, you are not in as good shape as you thought, and you are running uphill. You find that you complete a half of the run, all uphill, at an average speed of only 3 miles per hour. How fast must you run to make the return trip-all downhill-at an average speed for the entire round trip of 6 miles per hour?
ANSWER:
You can’t do it at all. For example, if your run is 6 miles, you would have to do it in one hour to average 6 miles per hour. However, you’ve already taken an hour to do the first half of the run, thereby using all the available time.
