I have been dreading the time when the weather turns crummy and I have no playdates scheduled and Rachel and I are stuck in the house over a long weekend. I thought this weekend would turn out to be one of those, but it didn't.
Today it was pouring, but luckily our friend Amy came over with a lion costume for Rachel to wear when she goes trick-or-treating next weekend. She, of course, promptly refused to wear it. I'm sure she will be the only girl not wearing a costume when we go trick-or-treating in Multnomah Village. Oh, well.
By the time Amy left it was time to go grocery shopping. The rain let up a bit, but then it began pouring when we got home. I got Rachel down for a nap, lay down on the loveseat for my own nap (and James typing on his laptop on the big couch, which was a very soothing lullabye), then prepared a roasted chicken, ordered a birthday gift for Mom, filled out my ballot and it was time to wake Rachel up. Then James, Robert and I sat down to dinner; they were very appreciate and Rachel ate A LOT of chicken; then she wanted to play in the living room a bit; we played with blocks, then it was time for Mommy Books and bed, and when I got back to the kitchen it was all clean, James was typing in the living room again and as soon as I make Rachel's lunch for tomorrow, we will sit in front of the fire and I will read the NY Times and MAYBE pay bills. Or I may put off that unpleasant chore until tomorrow night.
All in all, not a bad weekend. I still like to socialize more, though. Keeps me from feleing too lonely.
