This past weekend consisted of two days that were VERY much needed after a pretty rough Friday. Rough in the sense just that I was home by myself with both kiddos and I basically felt like anything and everything was going wrong. I really needed some wine on Friday.
But Saturday was so, so much better, and Sunday was too. We really just did some work around the house on Saturday, and my parents came over for a few hours in the morning to help (my dad and Jay got back to work in the yard again and my mom assisted me with the boys!).
By the time Sunday rolled around, I told Jay that I really just needed to get OUT of the house. Even if it was just for a 10 minute trip…I just needed to be in public, around other humans, and out of the house.
So that’s what we did. We packed up the car and we all headed for a quick trip to Lowe’s.
We went in an attempt to try and pick out some carpeting for our basement, but sadly, they didn’t really have anything that we’re looking for. Lame.
By the time we finished at Lowe’s, we were both starting to get hungry and decided to stop at Jimmy John’s for some sandwiches.
Neither of us had been before, and the original plan was just for me to run in quick with Lucas, order the subs, and bring them home to go. But then Alex woke up and needed to be moved/swung in his seat, so the other two joined us to the party.
Eventually, we made it home, all of the boys ate, and then I got to dig into my sandwich (it was the #12, I believe?). The verdict? Good, awesome bread, but nothing spectacular. The cookies were good too but, again, nothing I’d rave about.
Then again, they’re cookies. So that’s always a plus, right? But besides that, just the fact that I was able to get out for a while and feel a little more human again felt AMAZING! :)
Other than that, the only other major happening this weekend was Alex turning one month old. Which, seriously, still boggles my mind.
I’ll get more into details on everything (including both Alex and me!) later in the week!
But for now, I’m off to try and squeeze in another episode of Scandal before the boys wake up from their naps (I’ve started watching the series on Netflix and am OBSESSED!). Hope you guys are having a great day so far, and I’ll catch ya later!

Your post had me cracking up. I remember your posts after Lucas was born being equally as hilarious. I can completely relate and remember the need for 10 minutes to get out and be around people when my son was first born.

We LOVE Jimmie John’s! I have it delivered up to my office at work all the time because it’s right across the street ;) I always get the Club Lulu! And I can totally relate to the wanting to get out of the house for 10 mins! I remember those days!!!!

You’re doing so great with those boys. I am sure the days alone with both of them are just exhausting, but kudos to you for surviving the first month! (Ours is due in October, and you keep giving me little pieces of encouragement that make me feel like we’ll be able to do this!) Sending you lots of love!

Lucas has the cutest grin on his face in the shopping cart photo.
I can’t believe Alex is a month old already!
Kelly says
When My first kid was in the newborn stage and i was house bound, I literally looked forward to walking down the block to our mailbox? There is just something so perspective-changing about simply getting outside!
Bethany @LuluRuns says
I’ve only had Jimmy Johns a couple times too, I agree with you good, but nothing too fancy ;)
Kasey @ Working Mama Monologue says
I believe my Scandal obsession also began on my maternity leave. You may want to check out House of Cards as well. And, I agree about the bread being the best part of Jimmy Johns as well. Glad to hear you had a great weekend!
