Pajama Day Hand-off Nite

So as we roll towards the end of the week, today just happened to be the day Johnnie had been looking forward to all week. It's pajama day and he gets to wear his pajamas to school. For Lisa, earlier in the week when I told her about it, she actually didn't know which pajama she was going to let Johnnie wear. That's because all his pajamas at her house were already too small for him. I mean, it's ok to wear at the house obviously but ouside? For all to see? Not good. Fortunately, I did find some pajamas at my apartment that did fit him just right. It just wasn't what he would usually wear, but they looked good. Why don't I dress him up at night in these pajamas? Because I think they're too tight. I mean you're supposed to sleep in comfort and Johnnie already gets too hot and wiggly in bed. Which is why I put some loose pajamas on him when he goes to bed. But for wear outside of the house? These work just fine. And so it was that I got him duded up for pajama day without any issues. And then I went home, did my IS Team Meeting for the week, met up with Dennis my direct report boss and we got a couple of things done and I felt like by noon time, I was actually done for the day, which meant I was done for the week. I finished the Health Net grant report and got it to Oneida by the end of the day even, which was the only outstanding thing left to do this week. By the time I picked up Johnnie from school at 3 PM, I already felt like it was almost like the weekend. I didn't make any plans for the entire weekend mind you, I just thought I'd get myself some nice Rest and Relaxation at home. Still, after I picked up Johnnie and we went home a couple of loose ends came up at work. Turned out I was NOT done with my Health Net Grant report. They needed an expense accounting report. Sort of like my budget expenditures. Now I'm really going to have to make up that one since I didn't really track everything all that closely. Oh well, that's another hour or two I have to spend on that and since I was actually tired at the end of today, I thought I'd just wait until tomorrow to get it all done.

I don't know why I was tired really, maybe it's watching Johnnie and Claire taking its toll on me. Or maybe it's just the way it is every Thursday when it's close to hand-off time. I just get mentally exhausted. It's not like I do anything different on any other night. I made Johnnie pizza for his late lunch. And still headed out to Panda Express a couple of hours later for dinner like we always do. He didn't want to eat in tonight. He wanted to go home and continue to bug Claire until his mom picks him up. It's ok really, I even ordered some Panda Express for me tonight as well. I'm tired of cooking for myself. I simply didn't feel like it tonight, like I didn't feel like doing much of anything. Certainly I didn't feel like cleaning the house and without an extra push coming from Johnnie, I was ok leaving things as they are. After all, it is a long weekend coming up. I'm ok to clean things up later on at some point. As for the pick-up, since no 2 consecutive pick-up days are ever the same, I did not hold out any hope that Lisa would come early. I did wait until 7:29 to call her at which point she informed me she was already outside in fact. And talking to a colleague. I dropped Johnnie off and headed back inside just as quick as I could since Lisa was still on the phone. It was Johnnie that called me back to tell me that I hadn't sat down and talked to his mom yet. Sigh. I headed back outside, chatted for a few minutes to lock down weekend plans, which weren't much really and then off they went and off I went. I finished off my 11,000 steps, and called it a night and crashed on the couch. I am so ready for the long weekend...
