Maddy and I went to meet my mom's group at Chunk-e-Cheese today. She absolutely LOVED her time there. She insisted on holding the cup of coins and putting them in every ride she went on. I got a great deal on the coins, too. I bought 40 and received 60 free. So I paid $10 for the 40! Then, when I got up to the counter to use the coupon they asked how many times I would like to use the coupon, so I said TWICE! Yes, 200 tokens later.... Obviously, we brought a TON home. Maddy loves it though. I'm thinking about emailing my other group of moms to see if they'd be interested in going as well.
The house is, yet again, falling down around me. I don't know HOW this HAPPENS?! I swear I clean every day in some way, shape or form!!! Today I did two loads of laundry, took apart Maddy's highchair and gave it a thorough cleaning, ran and unloaded the dishwasher, swept and washed the kitchen floor, dusted our bedrooms, cleaned the toilets and quick vacc'd the living room. GEEZ! Yet, I still feel like it's falling down around me. I even did a bit of grocery shopping after CC and made dinner.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I'm looking forward to this weekend. When I'm not IN the house I can't see what a mess the house is and therefore feel like I should always be cleaning it. I have a very hard time relaxing in my own house. It didn't used to be this way when I worked outside the house. I was able to come home, kick up my feet and relax. Now, because I live and work in the same place I can't seem to unwind really well anymore because there's always something to DO!
But this weekend will be great. I get to sleep in, go to bed late, eat leisurely with Matt. Not to mention we're going to enjoy the drive down, maybe stop a winery or two... it will be GREAT.
Ok, off to hang out with Matt.
Oh! If you get the opportunity, here's a video of Maddy. Matt and I were talking about what Grandma and Grandpa could do with Maddy over the weekend to get out of the house but not in the heat. So we mentioned Chunk-e-cheese. Well, Matt and I both thought about how crowded it would be and thought about Matt's dad secret service style protecting Maddy and Matt made a quick arm movement which Maddy then promptly copied all the way through dinner. So, now, I'm worried about her punching someone at playgroup tomorrow!
Tea of the day: Green tea and Fox Trot herbal from Adagio
