Day 2

Boy woke up for a little around 2:15, but was able to go back to sleep.  Up at 6:30, I forget that M goes into work late so I wasted a lot of time waiting for him to get in the shower only to realize that he didn't have to yet.  Shower, make Boy's lunch- pasta with veggies, cut up mango and cheese, plus some sweet potato puff. M will pack up my lunch later when he leaves for work.  I've been trying to go to the gym at lunch twice a week but I forgot to wash my workout clothes and I can't find my sneakers- Oh well.

Daycare drop off, went surprisingly well, and then off to work.  There has been a lot more roadkill lately and  I have bad gag reflex in the morning, which has been making for an interesting commute. M and I carpool 3 times a week so at least then I can divert my eyes.  One time we were next to a garbage truck on a hot summer morning and I really almost through up from the smell.  Shockingly, this morning nauseau got better when I was pregnant.  Go figure.

Work, same old same old.  Except I got a fabulous recipe for granola and an oatmeal bake plus I found three recipes online to try:  Stuffed Portobellos, Pasta with Kale, Olives, and Feta, and Pumpkin-Choc-Chip bars.   It's supposed to rain this weekend so I figure I'll have some time to cook and bake.  My boss is out for two days, so I'm at somewhat of a stand still.  Good excuse to find new recipes. 

For Boy's 1st birthday two weeks ago, we took him to the same photographer who did his newborn photos for a cake smash session.  I have been stalking my email since even though she told me it would take three weeks to get the proofs.  She emailed them to me today and I am amazed at how adorable the came out and how much talent she has. 

Went to Michaels had lunch and bought a new wreath, some frames, fakes leaves and a glass bowl.  I have illusion of doing a cool fall centerpiece on our dining room table with baby pumpkins and fakes leaves.  I've been trying to accomplish it all week but I haven't even managed to get the orange table cloth on the table.

Can't wait to head home today.  M works late so it's just me and the boy.  Luckily we're doing leftover tacos when he gets home at 8:30 and I have some leftover potatoes for Boy and another veggie.  I know it's hard for M come home after Boy is asleep, he feels like he's missing something.  When he was younger he would sometimes still be awake when he came home but now he barely stays up past 7:15.  I used to work late one night a week but since I came back from maternity leave I changed my schedule.  I thought consistency with bedtime and dinner was important for all of us.  Plus I didn't want to miss another night with M due to work.  It's hard enough with two nights.
