My day started at 3:15 am {15 minutes before my alarm clock was supposed to go off}. I can't think of the last time I had to set my alarm clock that early! I didn't want to get out of bed, but there was no point trying to go back to sleep for 15 minutes. I had to pickup my friend at 4:30 and take her to the airport. It was my first time driving on the Autostrada {a major highway where cars drive really fast and you have to pay tolls}, but it went really smooth. There weren't many cars on the road since it was so early, so I think that helped. Connor slept most of the 1.5 hour drive there and woke up right before we got to the passenger terminal. We had donuts and pigs-in-a-blanket in the car while we waited with my friend to make sure she got on the flight.
The drive home felt like it took forever. I was so sleepy and had nobody to talk to. I called Aaron once I knew where I was going, and turns out he was on his way home too. He started feeling sick last night and went to the doctor this morning. Thankfully they prescribed him a couple meds and sent him home so he could rest. When I got home, Aaron was asleep and I wanted a nap soooo bad, but Connor was wide awake from sleeping almost the entire drive home. We had a snack and played until it was time for lunch. After lunch, Connor started rubbing his eyes. That was my cue to put him down for a nap so I could get one too. Two hours later I woke up to my alarm feeling so much better. Even though Aaron wasn't feeling well, we we had to go on base and do a few things that needed to be done before Friday. We also told a friend that we would listen to her speech for her speech class {since it's an online class, she needed 10 adults to listen to her short speech}, so we had to waste time between our errands and meeting her. We got Connor's haircut and then took him to the bowling alley to bowl for a little while.
Bowling shoes are only cute on little kids.
Taking a break.
Connor had a melt down when his game was over and we put his bowling ball away. Instead of buying another game, we took him to the play ground. Aaron tried taking a nap on the bench while I played with Connor.
This boy loves flowers!
After playing for a little while, it was time to go back to the bowling alley to meet our friends. Her speech was really quick, so we left right after. We made a quick stop at the store before heading home... bad idea. Connor had another melt down in the car while I was grocery shopping and he went down hill from there. It seemed like we couldn't get home quick enough. By this time, poor Aaron was feeling awful and went straight to bed as soon as we got home {after 7}. I put away the groceries, gave Connor a bath, a bottle, read him a book, brushed his teeth and put him in bed by 8. Now it's my turn. This momma is exhausted!!!
