Tired...again?

How is it that I am almost more tired at the end of the weekend than I am at the beginning? Is it wrong that I am looking forward to the start of the week? What can I say, I like my routine!
We did have a good weekend. Saturday we all slept in, I am just now, after nearly 7 years of marriage, beginning to understand how Dave claims to catch up on missed sleep during the week by sleeping more on the weekend. We played a little, took Bay to the dog park, where I got a unique and brutal burn, sweet pea went down for a nap and Dave helped direct me put more pink in my hair :) Ahhh...the things you do to bond :) We decided to go to Saturday evening service, as Delanah was going to be awake and perky, and had a good service. We like Saturday service, really good message, not as packed and we didn't have to rush around to get there on time :)
For some reason last night I voiced the thought that a glass of wine sounded good that night. Since when do I drink wine? Yeah, got home and water sounded so much better! Ahh well :)
Today we had a picnic with some other moms with babies the same age. SO amazing how different they all are! Will is about 3 weeks younger and Kolin 1 week younger. Will is crawling, Kolin likes to "walk" while holding on to his moms hands and Delanah was content to just sit there and watch it all unfold. But when it came to eating our girl was a star! Will won't take any food that has something other than a smooth texture, Kolin will experiment with a few foods, but still won't nap without a bottle, and there was our girl, munching away on her lunch of carrots and hummus, turkey burger, sausage, cantaloupe, blueberries and raspberries! I helped with the blueberries and raspberries only because I didn't want the berry mess! We got several comments that they were jealous of her eating...I love Baby Led Weaning!!!

Okay, so this weekend wasn't all rosy. Dave and I got into a bit of a tizzy on Saturday before the dog park, and I have really got to start watching myself. He's beginning to get the impression that I like being in complete control of things and that I think that only I can take care of Delanah. I don't think that at all! I think that during the week I am so used to making all of the decisions that it is really hard to let that go on weekends. Yes, I like being in control of things, I know which ways work best with Delanah, but how is he supposed to know unless I let him try things? It is SO hard to step back when I think I could do it better! Of course I feel my way is best, if I didn't, why would I do it that way? I know my daughter well, but I don't need to keep reminding him of that fact. I need to let him get to know her and in order do that I am going to have to step back and that is going to be SO difficult for me!
