Monday Five Countdown - day off edition!

Because of my sucktacular day, I took today off. The hubby needs a break from being the primary parent for at least a day and I wasn't sure what was going to happen with our car, so I figured we could use the time.

Five Things I'm Grateful For

1. Having lots of time with Nate this weekend and today.

2. We were able to get a rental car in the same make as my car. The insurance company is going to partially reimburse us, which is helpful, of course.

3. We had a really wonderful Easter. We got to see both of our families and had the most gorgeous weather. It was a wonderful day from start to stop.

4. The new tires for the hubby's car should arrive today, which means we'll have another car.

5. Nate's happiness. I know I keep repeating myself, but it just makes my heart happy to always hear people say how happy he is. I know so much of parenting is luck (it really is) but I like to think that we have at least a little to do with him being so happy.

Four Things I Can't Stop Thinking About

1. Hanging pictures. I want to seriously hang tons of things before Nate's birthday party.

2. A new car. Hopefully getting the police report tomorrow. Have to file that, get them to check out my car, see if they'll total it out and then see what we can do about a new family vehicle.

3. Baking. I am craving making something with chocolate in it or on it or something.

4. Nate's sleeping. This three day weekend has been really helpful for me in getting a better idea of how he is throughout the day. The remaining problem is that the hubby says Nate's different when I'm not home, so we have to figure out what to do to manage that.

Three Things I Want To Accomplish This Week

1. Picture hanging!!!!

2. Schoolwork. Just any schoolwork, at all... because I am woefully behind. :(

3. Get through the week at work. It's going to be a nutty one.

Two Things I Am Working To Be Positive About

1. Hubby's job prospects. I'm really worried about money running out.

2. Constantly feeling like the hubby and I are at odds about Nate's napping/sleeping.

One Random Thing

1. The royal wedding is this Friday and while I totally understand the folks who don't care about it, I am so totally excited. I think Kate Middleton is beautiful and stylish and really interesting. And I think she and William are going to do great things for the monarchy (even though the monarchy is completely outdated and doesn't serve much of a purpose, imo). I can't wait to see her dress and all the wedding details and will probably spend much time this week watching shows about Will and Kate.
