out of tune
the past several weekends i have been longing for a weekend home. we finally got one and it lived up to the anticipation. we simultaneously got a lot done and had a lot of fun. i'm looking forward to our next weekend home. yard work done. house cleaned up. windows and screens fully cleaned (even the garage window). a solid bike ride on saturday. breakfast out yesterday. great weekend.
last night we had trouble getting calvin down. we kept him up a little too late and then i feel like i may have perpetuated it. i'm pretty strict when it comes to the bedtime ritual but last night he asked if we could read the train book we like twice and i decided to do so. i couldn't help myself - it was one of those rare times in life where you are living a moment that you know you will think back on fondly for the rest of your life. we were snuggled up, reading our current favorite book - and instead of watching the illustrations he was looking at me with what i thought were sleepy eyes and every time i would read 'puff, puff, puff' and 'chug, chug, chug' we would gently put his hand on my chin and smile. it makes me smile as i type.
i would be remiss if i didn't mention that puff puff puff and chug chug chug sounds a lot like the happenings of some of the great college parties from back in the day....
anyway, i rode saturday and took yesterday off. between the oscillating weather (on again off again rain with a lot of wind) plus our projects there just was never a good time to go. i had considered the wca dane county criterium but decided i didn't need to make my crit debut in crappy weather. if it is nice i'm planning on the race next week. we'll see i guess. with the 45 mph wind gusts i opted out of the bike in this morning as well. maybe i'll run tonight?
happy monday.
