Rewind

Today is nearly over and I wish I could rewind it and start over. I woke up cranky from lack of sleep all weekend and obviously Brennan and I woke up in the same mood because he was exactly the same way. I was in the back of church before Mass even began.. I really hope there are extra graces given for coming and ending up in the back every single Sunday. It's so cold in the back of Church that I have to into the Holloway center and hear nothing from annoying junior high kids blabbing when I opened the door. Then as soon as I got Brennan to sleep more loud noise from what seems to be people seriously out to make me mad. See.. I am was grouchy. Today was the start of Catholic schools week, which made me start thinking about that entire issue again (not that I don't think about it daily - but make me think about it during Mass.) It was just ugh.. I wanted to talk to some friends and I couldn't even do it.. Brennan was screaming, Kurt wasn't reading my mind of how I wanted things done. I think I need to go to Mass again or something. I'm pretty sure that's NOT how I'm supposed to be ... isn't it supposed to calm you? Ahh!

Okay, enough depressing attitude!

Did I blog that I cleaned the church a couple of weeks ago for the first time? Well I did! It was the first time my team got together and it was really good. I was surprised it only took 45 minutes and felt bad when this little old lady who was 80 said she really wished I would bring some of my "young" friends (I really think she thought I was in high school) to help out. When I told her most of them were kind of occupied with having babies she kind of gave me this look like - babies? Ha ha... Teen Pregnancy Pack... anyway I had to explain I have three children and I'm not a teen. I'm definitely going to bring Kurt & the kids next time. I'm really glad to have stepped up and helped when they asked.

Today I was very thankful for my friend Missy who brought us dinner. She has no idea but this was the most perfect day EVER to bring us something. :)

I was reading My Fussy Baby book by Dr. Sears while taking a semi-relaxing bath this evening. Turns out the only way Brennan likes to be held is the colicky baby hold. Hmm! I feel like I know everything there is to know about bonding/attaching with my child. It's most a refresher and reminded me of everything I already know (because I seriously have the worst memory in the world.)

Saturday we went and saw my brothers new rental house. Which is actually my parents rental house that he moved into. It's looking good! We some some bald eagles.. we tried to take some pictures but they didn't turn out good enough to post. Then we went to my parents. I don't know.. people seemed cranky to me. Becca was home and we haven't seen her since she went on her trip out east. It was cool to hear about it and she actually marched in the right for life march. I'm kind of jealous! :) She had to leave early which made me sad.. I'm really hoping to go down next Monday if I can to see her. Emily and her boyfriend Jeff came.. I don't really know him so it was good to just have him in the environment of our overwhelming family. Our family is going to be like the family on Big Fat Greek wedding before you know it. Ha ha ha! We played this super fun game... The Game of Things that my sister got me for Christmas. I was laughing pretty hard! Fun times.

My little love just woke up and it's about time for bedtime. Hope your weekends were good!
