Autumn love

So Sunday we went up to Hood river for their yearly harvest festival. His parents and us that is. Perfect weather, cool creative things to look at and good snacks! It was a good day, then afterwards we went up to the Portland hospital to see Bens cousin. She just had a beautiful baby girl, so was so little I had forgotten how easy babies were to carry at that age. Josiah got to meet his great aunt Chris, second cousin Julia and third cousin Jadalyn.
When we got home and was finally able to get Josiah down for a real nap, he wouldn't sleep for anything on the trip in the carseat because he is incredibly sensitive to light and sound. He only slept for maybe a total of an hour and a half the entire day, and this kid still wanted to climb mountains!(stairs)
Well anyway, with an overtired baby, my sister still was willing to come over and stay the night with me and keep me company we even made some homemade soy candles together and they turned out looking and smelling great!
These days waking up I get to sleep in till as late at 10:00! Now that is awesome! I was needing to catch up on days of lost sleep for some time, and my son is willing to cooperate and let me do so. Going on with our late start days, I don't really feel like doing anything anymore. I'm still sometimes in my sweats, fed Josiah some breakfast, with little chunks of fruit I can come up with for him to feed himself. Now I settle in this big couch and watch netflix. I don't care if the laundry is piling up anymore, and don't care about the dishes as much.
However, I feel bad sometimes for my husband when he gets home because there are those rare days where I have to wait for him to get home just so that I can get a shower in. He is so wonderful at forgiving me for not having dinner perfectly ready for him on the table and for not having the house clean for him. I just get so exhausted by just watching my son play, is that bad? I don't want to be that lazy mommy and wife that sits at home all day, eats bon bons and watches soap operas. I want to be the mom that gets out and plays with my kids at the park and take them to exciting events. I don't feel like I am living up to that standard. I know that my son is only 8 months old and I still have a lot of time to do all those things. I just feel guilty, I think that me being lazy sometimes is bad!
I need to get to the part where I think that I'm qualified for a day off every once in a while. I need to remind myself that its totally ok to let things go every once in awhile. My husband doesn't care just as long as he can eat SOMETHING when he gets home. I love a man that loves leftovers! Maybe the change in the weather is part of the lazy effect that I have. Eventually I'll get my butt into gear. Probably not till after mid-November though, then everything will hopefully be back to normal. Anyhoo-Happy fall everyone!
