It’s playtime

Ah, so glad it’s Friday. Even though I have to work Saturday night I at least get to sleep in and spend most of the day with Ella tomorrow.

I worked an early shift today – 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. I needed to go in early to help out, but that also means I needed to get home early to relieve Steve to let him work. He didn’t use the sitter, since that would have been an hour drive to and from, and she’s way too nice for me to ask if I can bring Ella in at 5:15 a.m.

It’s great to get home at 2 though. I played with the baby (how long can I call her that?) for an hour then she very easily went down for a nap. She usually is. From other mom blogs I read I think I am incredibly lucky.

So here I am, back on my computer – I feel like since I keep wanting my friends to blog I must keep good blogging karma by frequently writing myself.

I’m trying to shoo away the less annoying of my cats, Maude. I love her, but these are her favorite hobbies:

1. Begging for attention the one minute I get to relax.

2. Wanting in/out of the bedroom when I’m in bed. Whatever’s opposite of her current position.

After Ella’s nap we I have plans to go to the new It’s Playtime and out for a bite to eat. It’s Playtime is an indoor entertainment place for kids – slides, cars, kitchens, toddler, baby toys. It’s such a great thing for rainy days or just to do something different. Although I am extremely bummed the one 10 minutes away closed and reopened 25 minutes away. Ugh. When you’re trying to squeeze things in between meals and naps, you don’t want 50 minutes of drive time.

OK, well I’m going to go relax and enjoy naptime.
