Well, today went fine, but man, if I'm not exhausted. I woke up with a bit of Maddy's cold (which I'm actually thankful it is over allergies). But it wasn't that bad so I worked out at 6:30. Maddy was up on and off between 8 and 11:00. I had to go up about 3 times. I was finally asleep at 11:30 and slept REALLY WELL until 6:30. So it was nice to have a good nights sleep.
After my work out and shower I didn't much care what else happened! I was thrilled I accomplished that. :) I did go grocery shopping with Maddy though and she was great in the grocery store. Especially since they've now switched around my Giant yet again while they are expanding and remodeling. There is now a Starbucks and Boston Market in my Giant. Kind of exciting! (I obviously don't get out much.) Maddy and I got home and I was dreading, DREADING carrying it all in. Normally I'll put Maddy in the living room (which is baby proof and visible from the car) while I run in and out dropping groceries off at the foyer from outside the car (I unload the trunk to the curb). But today the chinese grandma saw me putting groceries on the curb and her and her son came out and helped me carry it all to my house!!!!!! I COULDN'T SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH. Which I'm pretty sure she understood JUST fine.
Lunch came and went. Which is funny. Maddy loves carrots from canned peas and carrots mix. However, she won't eat the peas. So I bought her dimed carrots in a can but she won't have anything to do with them. It's not the shape either, since I even tried cutting them up once.
Maddy took a 2 hour nap and I changed cat litter, took around the trash cans, straightened the house, wrote and mailed a letter I've been meaning to write, emptied out Matt's car, swept, and mopped the kitchen floor. I definitely exceeded the amount of chores I originally had planned today.
Maddy and I played for a while after she got up and I made a snack for Matt and got a snack bag ready for Maddy and picked him up for his doctor's appointment. His face was worse today than yesterday so I wanted him to go in and he agreed. I got a GREAT time slot (4:30) with a doctor I like! We drove over to pick up Matt, drove him to the doctor and then Maddy and I went to Giant to pick up a couple of items I forgot. We went over to Tuesday's Child and I bought Maddy two books and a stuffed horse. Then we wandered the shopping strip. I stopped and picked up a cold bottel of water for her from one of the deli's.
Matt came out and he has POISON IVY!!! WAH? Turns out what we thought were fang marks were probably two blisters that subsided before the rest came out. So yep, there you have it! Matt did think that the reaction was much like poison ivy and thought it could possibly be it. But he couldn't explain the fang marks. He is REALLY allergic to poison ivy and we think he got it mowing/trimming the lawn for the first time. He thinks while trimming a leaf blew onto his arm and touched it for a second. That's how allergic he is. So now he's on different meds.
After we dropped off his two prescriptions (and yes, he has picked them up and took them/put them on) we let Maddy wander around a bit since she had been sitting LITERALLY for two hours WITHOUT complaint. I wanted to let her out at the shopping center but it was so close to the road I didn't feel comfortable with it.
I quick heated up the left over pasta, opened a can of pasta sauce, nuked some mesquite chicken, cut it up and threw it in the sauce and toasted our 9 grain bread from the breadmaker. That was dinner. We played on the back deck a bit and Matt ran out to get the prescriptions and I gave Maddy a bath. Now she's in bed and I'm TIRED.
I think I'll be going to bed quite soon as well. I want to get some extra rest trying to get rid of this slight bug Maddy has given me. Good night all!
WO of the day: 30 minutes elliptical
Tea of the day: Matt made me coffee this morning.
