WHEW!!! Well, it's been a couple days since I last blogged. Life has been fast and crazy here! Matt was out of town Sunday through Wednesday. Matt's parents were very sweet and stayed through Monday to help me out. I spent the majority of the time they were here Monday making the cookies I last blogged about. Monday night went pretty well. I had to go up and see Maddy after I put her to bed, but really, she did pretty well. Tuesday was just a blur. It went well though and Maddy let me get a lot of stuff done. She and I had a great time playing and snuggling. Tuesday night she went to bed better.
Wednesday Matt came home! It was nice to see him about 1pm. Maddy just LOVES her daddy. He walked in the door and she wouldn't stop hugging him!!! Not even enough to get his coat off! I was exhausted from not sleeping well the few nights before that (ok since Saturday night) and he was tired because it was a long onsight and he didn't sleep well either. So Maddy went down for a nap and we did too. I slept like the dead! However, Maddy woke up about and hour and a half later and neither of us were ready to get up!
Last night I had Bunco night. That was fun! I met some nice people who I really didn't know but heard a lot about. I took some of my cookies with me and they went over pretty well. Bunco was easy to play too. That's also nice. I brought along some gifts for my friend's son since I didn't know when next I'd see them. I went grocery shopping on the way home.
Today Matt got Maddy up from bed while I quick got dressed. I went in to relieve Matt so he could get ready for work and she started bawling! I think she thought he was going to leave again. So I took her in by daddy and she stopped crying and they snuggled. Well, when I took her back in her room she started crying again. Well, she just had to live through it while I fast got her dressed and diaper changed. Maddy had her morning bottle and breakfast and was A-Okay from that point on! She even waved bye to daddy when he left.
Today is my dad's birthday! Unfortunately, the sweaters I bought didn't fit! Well, they did but they won't fit with a shirt underneath. So I need to send him the receipt. I will do that tomorrow. Tonight after dinner Matt took Maddy over to his friend's Jon's house to deliver cookies to them. I packed my little heart out while they were gone. They got home and we put Maddy down to bed. She's made a couple of noises but I think she'll fall asleep.
I was supposed to have Mom's night out tonight but I wound up not going. First I thought Matt was going to work late and then when he got home I just realized I just have too much stuff to do to prepare for this weekend. Now I have a TON of cookies and a white elephant gift floating around here. But, I can give the cookies away as gifts or freeze them. And I guess I can use the White Elephant gift as a present some other time.
So we're off to see Grandma and Grandpa tomorrow for the weekend. (Don't think about breaking in, we'll have the alarm system on.) I hope Maddy sleeps while we're there and has a good car trip up and down. I need to pick out some toys that she'll enjoy in the car and while there. We're going to put Jacks Big Music Show, Oobi and The Upside Down Show on Matt's laptop or mine to take with us. It does just as good as a portable DVD player. Better actually since we have a plug in for it that attaches to the lighter.
Well, that's it for now! I need to prep the cats so they are ready for us to leave tomorrow, too. Poor babies. They never get any attention anymore! See you back Sunday night or Monday! Goodnight!
Tea of the day: I had coffee again! Coffee with splenda and ID Cinnamon Hazelnut creamer
WO of the day: 30 minutes elliptical (I'm proud of myself, even though I've been really busy I haven't missed a work out. The scale shows it, too!)
