I did, not Maddy. Matt and I were able to get out overnight last night and I slept all night!
So yesterday Matt mixed and filled in cement where the plumber needed to tear up the concrete to put in the pipes. He did a really amazing job and I have to say, I'm really impressed!! Then he worked some more on our bathroom floor and we will finally finish it up tonight and glue it down. Matt still needs to put up the new dryer vent in our spare room before the framers get here tomorrow.
One little project seemed to creep up that we weren't expecting. Maddy's bathroom outlet popped yesterday so Matt tried to fix it but we didn't have time to fix it before dinner so we needed to come back home to try to fix it. However, it wasn't as simple as Matt thought it would be so he'll need to keep working on it later. So Maddy's bathroom is unlit right now. But so are about half of her outlets including the outlets for Maddy's vaporizer, night light and noise machine needed to be moved. However, our bathroom is still out of order too, with the floor being up. So Maddy will get a bath in our room tonight and then Matt will glue down the floor and it will have all night to set.
We had a great time at the Melting Pot last night. I thought for sure we were going to be late since Matt worked on house stuff right up until he had to rush to get ready so we could leave. But we weren't, we made it on time. We decided to get a cheese fondue and then the chocolate dessert fondue with a salad in between. It was all delicious. The cheese fondue was GREAT but we wound up still being hungry after it and we were wondering if we made a mistake in not getting the main course. Last time we went we were already pretty full after the cheese. Then, after the salad, we made a 'make your own' chocolate fondue and we had milk chocolate, cookie pieces, caramel and marshmellow. We got the large plate for the dessert which means we each got quite a bit to dip. WOW, I was STUFFED by the time I was half way done. Not to mention, I had a chocolate martini and I was pretty chocolated out! I don't think I've ever become tired of chocolate before, but I actually did. It was sooo good though. The waitress brought us more marshmellows and brownie pieces for dipping. The brownies were my favorite. However, I couldn't even finish those! I brought them home for Maddy who promptly devoured them. (Sorry Grandma and Grandpa Jackson--I guess she had a bit of a sugar high after we left.)
After trying to fix the outlet we wound up nutting the one lead that was the issue and putting it on hold. So we moved all the things Maddy would need to sleep.
Then we headed out to the hotel where we were staying overnight. They had an reception until 7:30 so I had a couple drinks and appetizers. We went to our room but our champagne was not there (Matt bought the romance package which included champagne and truffles). So we called and waited....and waited... called again and asked them to bring another bottle as well...and waited, and waited... finally Matt called the front desk and wanted to talk to the manager but they assured us it WAS on the way. It showed up about 5 minutes later and the second bottle was on the house because of our REALLY LONG wait. Two boxes of truffles as well although I was still so chocolated out I could barely touch them.
And I slept ALL NIGHT, like the dead. I guess Maddy didn't though, she was up with grandma rocking from 2-4. Poor Grandma. But she took a really good nap today (Maddy, not grandma) and is now down for another. I think her cold is slowly getting better. I need to suck out her nose though and I hate that and so does Maddy.
After getting up this morning, Matt who is a sweetie, went downstairs with the tray the champagne came on and brought back breakfast for us. I ate way too much--omelete, bacon, sausage, yogurt, fruit..sheesh!
Then it was off to bring Matt home so I could run back out to church to teach Sunday School. I actually had three kids.
When I got home and Maddy got up from her nap, Matt, his parents and Maddy ran out to Wegmans to pick up dinner. I had sushi, part of a potato pancake and of course, peanut butter pie. Nothing beats Wegman's peanut butter pie. Matt's parents tried it for the first time and loved it, too. It was weird being home alone but kind of nice when I was just without Maddy for the last 18 hours, but I made good use of my time and unpacked our bag and cleaned up a bit.
Again, I am so spoiled. I have had such great food, drink and company in the last two days and had such a nice time. Matt's parents are sooooo good to us for driving up here to watch Maddy so we can get out. I slept all night and really do feel refreshed. Plus, getting some time alone in my own house today was really nice as well. I couldn't ask a better weekend!
Tea of the day: I'm having some cold green tea right now, but I didn't have caffeine this morning.
WO of the day: None, but I'm looking forward to getting back to my elliptical machine tomorrow now that I'm feeling better. I've missed it and with everything I've had to eat over the weekend, NEED IT!
