LONG Weekend

I decided to take Friday off rather than wait until this week. I was just THAT tired. I slept for almost 12 hours straight! I pretty much relaxed most of the day although I did get a few things done around the house. I picked Shayla up early from the babysitters house and we drove out to Brick. We went to dinner with my parents and then my mom and I went shopping while my dad spent some time with Shayla. We stayed over and unfortunately for me, Shayla wanted nothing to do with sleep that night. I was up at least 4 times with her but it may have been more - I completely lost count. Saturday morning I got up early, fed Shayla, got her dressed, and then left to head back home. Paul and I were picking up new mattresses so my parents were going to watch the baby for me for the day. We got the mattresses, got the old set into the spare bedroom, cleaned the dining room, took a nap (haha), and got everything together to head back out to Brick. We went to dinner before getting to my parents house; we figured it's so rare that we get to go out, just the two of us, so we took complete advantage. We found out Shayla was very good for my parents during the day so that made me feel better - I know what a monster she can be!! We stayed in Brick Saturday night then left Sunday morning after stopping off at IHOP for some pancakes. We were very lucky that it didn't take us too much longer to get home; we were expecting it to take double the time because of the storm. Anyway, that's my LONG weekend of driving back and forth! I spent over 4 hours in the car this weekend just driving to and from my parent's house. And even more time if you add in the shopping trip, going to dinner, picking up the mattress, etc.! Ack!

The huge part of this story is that Friday night I was forced to give myself my own Lupron shot. Paul did not come to Brick with us until Saturday evening so I didn't have him there to jab my thigh. It took me about 20 minutes to get up the courage but I eventually stuck the needle in ALL BY MYSELF! It didn't hurt, of course. I get the same shot every night...nothing changed except for who was holding the needle but I was still scared out of my mind!

Tomorrow morning I have an appointment for bloodwork and an ultrasound to see where my body is. I don't think there will be any major news to report but if there is, I'll be sure to update tomorrow!
