I'm sitting on the deck, under the umbrella enjoying the breeze. So nice! I should be trying to get a few chores done, but honestly, I'm pooped and can't wait for the weekend to really begin.
This morning (well, 11:50) Maddy had her 18 month appointment for her well-visit. She had fun playing in both the waiting room and the examining room. The didn't mind the doctor checking her ears and what not... but when I had to hold her down on the table...that's when she freaked out. Of course, I opted for the optional fluoride treatment which I'm sure didn't help much. She only started to really calm down when I started to get her dressed (just a dress) but as soon as the nurse came in to give her the shots she started crying again. She clung to me like a little monkey with really long arms. It was all I could do to pry her off me for the shots. Well, at leasts it's done with for a few more months.
We got home well after her nap time so I was able to get some soup into her and then off for a nap she went after a bit of snugglin' with me in the rocking chair.
All I can say is, Thank goodness for coffee night! I have to say, I love coffee night. I almost like it better than MNO sometimes because it's less formal and easier to hear each other. When MNO is at a restaurant it can be hard to really have conversations. If it's at someone's house that's different. However, I can't host MNO because of our foor plan. There's no way Maddy could sleep through all our laughing and joking. Best part about coffee night last night? I bought my last cup of tea before I get a free drink next time around. I also have my GC that I received for mother's day for coffee night (either by myself or with the gals). So I don't have to 'pay' for it right now, either!
However, that's not to say I didn't have to pay for the groceries I bought last night. Man, i can do some shopping at Wegmans! I did buy some frivolous stuff. I wanted to treat Matt to an eclaire since he was sweet to let me get out whenever I want. I also bought him a few treats in the candy department to take to work with him. I bought myself a new tea mug and it's so pretty. Plus, it's made just for tea. Do you know how many mugs say coffee, java, joe? Well, this one says TEA. I used it this morning.
Speaking of tea. I did buy some tea last night! I bought herbal Bigelow mint medley. Now, I bought it for Maddy. I'm hoping this will satisfy her craving for mint toothpaste and my tea!!! But this morning she only had a couple sips and was done with it. So I used five of the teabags to flavor my sun tea I made this AM with my cold brew Lipton tea bags that I found in the cabinet. Wegmans has increased their selection of tea as well. So it's really nice to go look at tea there. But I was good, I only bought the one kind for Maddy.
Great news! I can listen to my music again! I didn't realize how much I missed it until I was able to have it again. Matt has been working really hard to get our public drive up and running and then fixing my itunes and reloading our library. So now I can officially stream music back into the living room again. I'm not sure how much Maddy likes it right now because that means the TV is on less! I love that, but I don't think she does! But this afternoon she gets whatever she wants due to her poor little shots. But again, kudos to Matt for really getting everything running again! I'm impressed!
Well, our anniversary is tomorrow--six years! We have a Chunky Cheese birthday party for Maddy to attend in the morning. But we've been trying to figure out how we want to celebrate it and I think we're going to stock up on some of our favorite wines for us to share together. It seems like a nice idea--something we do together and allows us to sit and enjoy it.
On that note, I'm popping off and I'm going to enjoy the great breeze on the deck while I listen to my itunes! Have a good rest of the afternoon!
Tea of the day: 2 cups green tea in my new mug
WO: Going to do elliptical tonight after Maddy's in bed.
