March in Review
3/1 was a good day. I went to the gym and went on a walk outside. I got photos off my phone. I posted my blogs. I did a client check in. I had a doula interview (and was hired)! We took AJ to a park he hasn't been to before. We went to The Pie for dinner afterward. It was just a normal evening at home. I did bath and bed time.
3/2 I woke up with a shiner because I bumped my eye on my dresser in the middle of the night while sleep walking. AJ and I went on a walk to the park. I donated plasma and picked up my birthday popcorn. We went to my grandma's house and had a time pressured evening at home.
3/3 I woke up feeling like I got no sleep at all so I skipped my workout. Work was really busy in the morning. It was a pretty normal day where I picked AJ up and did all our normal evening things at home. Matthew and I watched Lost.
3/4 I got up at 5 to deadlift. Apparently AJ woke up at 5:30, which is fine in the context of DST, but he went to bed so late the night before. Work was quiet. I picked up AJ, and he had a rough evening after no nap. Matthew also was struggling. We put AJ down early, and I met my friend Mariah at Waffle Love to use my birthday freebie. I also stopped at Smith's after.

3/7 I was up about six to walk. I did a half day at work where I worked on ESL stuff. I got my free nuggets from Chick-fil-A for lunch and donated plasma. I did one load of laundry and started the cleaning before I went to pick up AJ to take him to his burn appointment. We did grocery shopping after his appointment. It was a pretty normal evening at home.
3/8 I woke up about seven and went to the gym to lift with Emmy. I made a shake and did some cleaning. I did lots of laundry and cleaned the couch. I took AJ to Zurcher's, Trader Joe's, and Costco. It was a beautiful sunny day. AJ fell asleep in the car on the way home. We went to Chubbys for dinner as a family. I took AJ outside for a little bit, but it was windy and cold. I face timed my dad for a little bit.

3/9 I woke up about 730 after the time change. I went on a quick walk before getting ready to go to brunch with Rachel. After brunch I donated Plasma and got Dutch Bros. I spent lots of time outside with AJ. I did some lunch prep, Marco Polo friends, and listened to my audiobook. Matthew got pizza for us for dinner, and I had to be done eating by seven so I could get fasted blood work done on Monday morning. The good news on this day was that AJ fell right to sleep after Matthew put him down!

It was a normal evening at home, but we didn't put on any movies for AJ so had to walk through a lot of regulating and managing his busyness.
