A day in the life of me.
Where to begin -
Well the night before 2/4/14, there was a pretty bad ice storm that made driving pretty treacherous so I oped to stay home from work. I would have gotten to work late if I attempted to go and I had plans to leave early for a dentist appointment. A filling is what I got done but lets start in the morning.Slept until 11am - did the usual bathroom run than went to see if C was awake. She was not. By the way, this girl sleeps like she has been preforming gymnasts all night. She was side ways in her crib with her feet poking through the bars and her knees pulled up to her chest - she was in a comfortable but cramped looking ball. I thanked God that her socks were still on - she is never under the covers and as of recently all of her sleepwear clothing are dirty or trapped in a basement dryer waiting for my pick up. I went to open the blinds and the floor creaked - waking her up, were she instantly popped up and stuck out her arms for me to pick her up out the crib/cage.
Spent some time in my bed afterwards watching an episode of Pocoyo then proceeded down stairs to see what the boys were up to - playing video games of course. We had a pretty good start of the morning/afternoon watching The Croods together (all four of us - how crazy is that - NEVER HAPPENS). For breakfast/lunch, K had four waffles, C had a bowl full of beans and rice (sour cream and salsa included) and I had mommy's leftovers from the super bowl. The Croods was a great movie, plenty of funny moments and the fact that Daddy stayed to watch it with us testifies how good it was. Also, maybe because the cycle of life is about to start but boy I cried and cried during the end of the movie - poor C hopped in my lap to find out what was wrong but I kept giving her reassuring smiles and laughing, all the while tears kept rolling. I seriously could not stop them - maybe I was due for a tear bath. LOL - seriously.
After the movie went off we split up were C and I went upstairs to get me ready for my dentist appointment and daddy and K went to do some school work. I was running late due to watching the movie, but made it to my appointment on time and got seen and out of there all before 4pm - appointment at 3pm. I later stopped at Wal-Mart, instead of Aldi or the Dollar Tree for simple syrup for the icing I needed to create and ended up being pleasantly surprised at how clean and non-crazy this Wal-Mart was. I found out later I didn't need the simple syrup and just picked up sprinkles, powdered creamer for work and some cheap a$$ wipes...boy got home opened up those bad boys and ended up going right back to my pail of water and wash cloth routine. They are CHEAP but will do until this weekend.
Speaking of this weekend - C's BIRTHDAY PARTY! - is happening. I got started on the testing out how to bake these cookies properly and thank God the last batch came out how I desired. They are star shaped and I plan to use the food coloring and icing techniques I looked up/learned and create Pocoyo cookies. I've been practicing drawing Pocoyo...its believable too since C was able to recognize him! Yeppie! Mommy, Mags and Jen are handling food for me - aside from the pizza and cake/ice cream and the punch. I will be cooking Friday night with them but I must have the pinata ready (still not paper mached yet!), the cookies (test batch good, now to make MORE! & ice them), and the goodies bags O dear the goodie bags...I hope their creation will be quick and painless (unlike the pinata). Lastly - and boy i keep forgetting - I need to wrap up her gifts...as few as they are...just wrap them up D!
The night ended with K not wanting hamburgers and Daddy laying down the law on what it is and what it will be...he ate that burger. C having a salad, which meant chewing it up and spitting it back out, and pizza (she cheered when she saw it. lol). Me, burger too, couldn't take another rice and bean combo. Daddy - anything that was burnt or not eaten - our current garbage disposal.
C cried when she was put to bed (a reoccurring thing...hmmmm), I got in bed before 12:30 but was up until close to 1 - f'n around.
Oh well, off to recreate these goodie bag labels before I leave for my podiatric appointment, figure out why this possible bunion is causing me so much pain! :-(
