That was what things came to this week. I have been SLAMMED with work, and can't seem to get my head above water to get caught up. My work laptop has been on the fritz, so I couldn't work from home. My mother so sweetly agreed to drive in and watch Isaac so I could work late. Thank goodness for moms.
Things have been good around here but so busy. Ryan and I surprised Isaac with tickets to a WWE event in Philadelphia. Isaac is obsessed with professional wrestling. I have tried and tried to squash his interest in it, to no avail, so I finally figured, if I can't beat him, join him. I tried to convince Ryan to just take him, but Ryan insisted on making it a family event, since we don't get very many evenings together.
Ryan got us box seats, so we had our own bathroom, which I enjoyed. Isaac was proud to bring his wallet with his allowance and bought himself a t-shirt from a random parking lot guy (Ryan helped him haggle the price down to 10 bucks). He has changed into that shirt every day after school since.
Ryan wanted to document that I actually came. I tried to be somewhat open minded, but I was unimpressed. Professional wrestling is not for me.
He was excited to see one of his favorite wrestlers, C.M. Punk. I think he really enjoyed himself and I loved that I was finally able to scrape together enough money this time to take him, even though Ryan and I probably won't be able to afford a date night or anything fun until November.
In other family news, we also spent quite a bit of last weekend at a soccer tournament. Due to rainy weather earlier in the week, what was supposed to be a two day tournament got smooshed into one super long day. The weather was chilly and overcast and I was reduced to tears because I had no choice but to use a portapotty. Isaac played really well though and kept his team alive in the tournament when he got close lined earning his team a penalty shot and he was able to follow up with a goal of his own. I honestly love to watch him play.
I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed the tour and how much we learned. Although it needs to be noted that my mom sets a brisk pace. Ryan and I were chasing after my mom up a stairwell in the convention center when he turned to me and said that we should have signed up for the tour for asthmatics and pregnant people. When we were done the tour, we met up with my Dad and Isaac to take a ride on the Strasburg Railroad, another Lancaster "to do".
It was a really lovely day to spend in Lancaster with my folks. So life continues to be insanely hectic around here with Ryan working long hours, my heavy workload and being basically exhausted by the time I get home from work, and a variety of family commitments (soccer, scouts, soccer, soccer). But things are also going well. Only a few more months until we meet our little girl!

I LOVE the picture of Ryan and Issac, you found a good man! I remember taking that train many times in Lancaster I miss that place. Hope I can take my boy some day.
