Teaholic not quite anonymous

Well, it was a very nice visit with my folks. Maddy's a funny little kid. After the initial jump into Grandma's arms and go to Grandpa she didn't really want to snuggle with them. She played and had a great time with them though. And she'd still give them kisses and hugs. Funny how kids are though.

My dad and Matt have become quite good at Wii Tennis and Golf. They died laughing every time they played--especially Tennis. It is hilarious to watch, too. They love watching these little legs running around the court and just the overall look. It's funny!

My mom and I have done a LOAD of Birthday/Christmas shopping for Maddy. She's thrilled because I picked out the stuff I was going to buy and then just let her pay for it. She's happy she doesn't need to ship the stuff or try to pick it out. I scored a lot of sweatshirts, sweatpants and turtlenecks at Target yesterday for her as well. I didn't see them out yet at Walmart and they get picked over soooo quickly. I stuck with the 24 month/2T for both the tops and bottoms. The bottoms will be fine all winter since her 18 month seem to fit her fine now. But the tops may get small towards spring and it depends how much it shrinks, too.

We've been eating like crazy lately and the amount of left overs we have is insane. I made good meals on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. So we still have left overs from Sunday. Then on Monday we ordered in TWICE. Plus we ordered a ton both times. The fridge in insanely full. Now of course, I need to plan our eating strategically so nothing goes to waste. Plus, Matt and my dad love pastry so we still have some of that laying around, too. Although we did find a great little bakery near us and the prices weren't that crazy and the stuff was just decadent.

My Mighty Leaf tea comes today! I can't tell you how excited I am for it. I'm glad I did buy the Bigelow herbal mix at BJs though. I've been going through it and Maddy has enjoyed it as well. It's great for her cold since it's natural, gets liquid in her and it's warm to sip on. It really helps open her up when she breathes in the steam from the mug. She is quite a tea girl though, since she points to Grandma's and Grandpa's coffee mugs and yells, "Tea!" and goes in for the kill.

Going to be a busy, busy rest of the week here. Today Maddy and I each have our class. Tomorrow Matt has a happy hour thing for a coworker. Thursday I have playgroup in the morning, my crown in the afternoon, and then (maybe depending on how burnt out I am) MNO that night. Friday AM I have my dermatologist appointment. Sunday afternoon I have a birthday party at Little Gym. I need to wrap those gifts still, too. We NEED to go to church on Sunday, too. Even if we have to kick ourselves in the butt to go to the early service. (Late service won't allow for a nap for Maddy before the party.) With both sets of parents here two weekends in a row, we haven't gone. PLUS, two weeks in a row before that we haven't gone. It's been over a month and a half, easy.

Well, I could brave the mosquitoes and try to water the front grass right away before Maddy gets up. I wonder where that portable monitor is?

Have a good rest of the week!

Tea of the day: Coffee today. I thought my parents were going to have some before they left so now I have an 8 cup pot upstairs. If I drank it all I'd have every chore done by noon. But I'd also be a raging b*$&h, too. So I won't do that.
WO of the day: Nothing much today, I don't think. With class tonight and Maddy getting up soon, I don't think I will. Plus, I want a nap today! I am getting back on the wagon tomorrow though, since the last 10 days have been miserable for working out.
