Well, today was my last Monday while I'm still in my 20s.  *Sigh*  This weekend I'll turn 30. 

Today I went to the gym, and then took Alex swimming.  He was a little hesitant at first, since we haven't gone swimming in a pool since last summer (he did go in the ocean a few months ago).  He was clinging onto me like a spider monkey.  But after 20 minutes he began to enjoy himself and was getting into and out of the pool by the steps.

We then had some lunch and went to enroll Alex in preschool for the next year.  Then we went to a few open houses in our neighborhood.  Then we filled up our water jugs, went to the grocery store and headed back home.

When I got home, I realized how messy it had to become and started to pick up the mess and tackle the mountain of dirty laundry that had built up over the week.  I fed Alex a yummy dinner of 'toddler' spaghetti & meatballs, which he loved and got all over his face as he tried to feed himself with a spoon.  He is getting better at using utensils.

Alex had to get a bath because he was so messy after dinner!  I then cleaned some more, did some more laundry and ate some sushi for dinner that I picked up from the grocery store - Spicy Salmon Roll to be exact.  Mike was at the basketball game so I got to eat while watching my Tivo'd DOOL (Days of Our Lives for those of you who aren't fans ). 

I also got to watch my other favorite soap, Passions - which was cancelled by NBC so they could add another hour of the Today show - giving us 5 hours of the Today show - like we need another hour of fluff morning shows.  Ugh.  Passions won't officially go off the air until late fall, but hopefully another network will pick it up.  It has been rumored that NBC has cut the budgets of several shows, and an extra hour of the Today show was cheaper to produce than an hour of Passions.  Even DOOL has seen cutbacks, with the 'letting go' of several key, long-time characters/actors.  Saturday Night Live also had to let go several of their long-term comedians due to budget changes - so it has been rumored.

And now I'm sitting in bed blogging about my day!  What a Monday it has been.
