Another Saturday done and in the books.  It was a really good day for me but I'm not sure Tyler would agree with me.

His day started at 3:30 this morning when his work phone started ringing.  Luckily he had just went to the bathroom and wasn't quite asleep yet.  He headed into work and I fell back asleep.  When he did come back, I was in the bathroom.  My bladder is losing a battle for space at the moment so I tend to spend more and more time in that room.  So, Tyler came back home and since I was awake, he said to my belly, "You better stay in there at least until we are on our way home!"  It turns out that yet another pregnant woman was thought to be going into labor and it may have freaked Tyler out just a bit.  We said good night and were ready to get back to sleep when the phone started ringing again.  It was the hospital again saying that there was some blood work to do and that they forgot to tell Tyler about it when he was there 5 minutes earlier.  So Tyler headed back into work for another half an hour.

Tyler was able to sleep until 7:30am when his phone started ringing again.  He went into work while I continued to sleep.  He came home at some point but I didn't hear him.  I was out of it until 11.  Even though I was not the one going into work I was still super exhausted - must be all this baby growing but don't feel sorry of for me.  Tyler is the one who should be sleeping that late because he works so hard at work and then studying and to top it all off he is getting sick.  But he didn't come back to bed when he got home.  He went right to studying and stayed that way most of the day.

Once I did get out of bed, I fed TK some warm milk and then played with my own Kitty.  I ate some breakfast and played on the computer for a bit before doing some chores.  I did the dishes and folded the laundry.  It really didn't take long so soon I was on the couch making the weekly menu.  That has turned into my least favorite thing to do on Saturday.  I just have no inspiration because I want to cook new meals but we only have so many recipe books out here and it's all getting so repetitive.  But I managed to come up with 7 meals and then I just had to wait for Tyler to finish up what he was doing to head out to the store.

Now, the weather up until this point was kind of awesome, meaning it wasn't raining and although the sun wasn't shining brightly, it wasn't gloomy outside.  I thought it was the perfect time to go to the store. But I had to wait for Tyler to be done what he was reading.  By the time he was done reading, it was pouring outside.  So we headed out to the store in the rain and got there soaking wet.  We did manage to get most of the food items on our list so that was great.  Our walk home was much dryer.

Tyler got called to work once we got home so I unloaded the groceries and I think started cross stitching.  When Tyler came back home I did a bit of a work out and then showered.  It was awesome.  After the shower, I continued on my cross stitch.  Tyler was finally done studying for his test so we were able to spend the whole afternoon relaxing and just being together.  As stated before, Tyler has been under the weather so it was nice for him to do nothing all afternoon.

Tomorrow he writes his test and then he gets some sort of relief.  He still does have one more final to study for and write but it seems to be some what easier of a test to study for.  It's not so much reading boring books and making notes.  This next test is all about memorizing images and he's already done really well on that so I feel like there isn't as much stress surrounding it.  I could be wrong as it's not me who is writing it.

I'm exhausted and looking forward to heading to bed, which might be earlier then what is normal on a Saturday.
