I spent my afternoon doing something completely not pleasurable. The dentist. Shudder. I hate the dentist. I want to cry every time I hear and feel them scraping my teeth. Hate. Hate hate hate. What a way to spend my boy’s one month birthday, huh? That’s right. Little man is one month old today!! Where did the time go? In honor of his birthday, and the fact time goes so quickly, I thought it would be fun to do a mini flashback post. Here we go!

One Week Ago: I was hanging out and having a girls’ night with my friend Mandy. I guess that means I can’t complain about Peter having a boys’ night tonight? Darn.

One Month Ago: I was taking an ambulance in an ice storm to the hospital to push 7 lbs 15 oz of baby out of me. I did so quite happily. As you may recall, I was pretty over that pregnancy. 😉

One Year Ago: I actually had no clue, so I turned to the trusty blog search. Apparently, one year ago today I was awoken early by Makenzie, looking forward to a full body workout, and considering whether or not I view Valentine’s Day as ridiculous. Things don’t change much over a year in some ways, huh?  But oh thank goodness my blogging has! I feel more confident after finding my “voice”.

Five Years Ago: I’m pretty sure 5 years ago this weekend a bunch of friends and I went to a cabin in the woods.Check out the attractive pictures…

I never said the cabin was anything more than a shack. It was basically camping with some wood walls. We stole all the guys’ warm clothing.

I also never said I’m not a huge dork. Apparently some things don’t change in 5 years either, huh? 😉 Somehow I still even look the same!

Question of the Evening – What were you doing one month/year ago? 5 years?

We all know that old cliche “time flies when you’re having fun” holds true. And yes, weekends do always pass by quicker than expected. I still want to know where this weekend went though! Besides my girls’ dinner with Mandy on Friday night we had absolutely no plans. Yet somehow I sit here writing this post already later into the Sunday afternoon. How did time go so fast when all I can remember doing this weekend is the following…

My final C25K workout from week one. I finally got some of my music on the IPhone for that one. Glee makes great running/workout music!

Some friends stopping by for a quick visit. Like an hour quick. They brought some special gifts, including these adorable little purses as a special gift for M.

Eating some pizza and catching up on the DVR.

Getting maybe three hours of sleep Saturday night. Kiddo was up every hour on the hour to eat. Which is why we had a “family nap time” today. Braedon went down for his nap. Makenzie went down for her nap.

And Peter and I crashed for those two blissful hours as well.

Grocery shopping for the week.

And the following thought crossed my mind while shopping - “Wow, lots of people seem to be having parties soon”. Duh, Tina. There’s that little thing called the Super Bowl going on tonight. Life is such a blur right now. It starts early enough that we may catch bits and pieces of it. I'm intrigued by the half time show…and admittedly excited for a new episode of Glee finally. Thank goodness for DVR because I know I could never make it that late!

Question of the Evening – Watching the Super Bowl? What for: the football, the commercials, the party, the half time show, or the Glee episode at the end?
