Teaholic not quite anonymous

Maddy slept in until 7:30 this morning and slept all night and I did, too. I am so excited for that! She seems to have gone to bed without any fuss over her new bed. She's also gotten over her bathtub thing, too. She was freaked out about taking a bath for about 3 weeks.. Dunno what that was all about, but she refused to sit down and started to cry as soon as we got her anywhere near it. I made sure it wasn't too hot or too cold before I put her in. But that's seems to have passed.

This morning we went to church. It's been so long since we've been there. I felt bad since I didn't leave Matt much time to get ready since it took me so long. The getting ready wasn't even all that bad, just the picking out clothes was the hard part. I never really dress up anymore so it's kind of like having new clothes--finding ones that go together for the weather and fit right (which I'm pleased to say are getting more and more). Then I pick out jewelry and makeup to go with... Then finally I shower and put it all together! Not to mention this morning I blew my hair dry as well and I never ever do that--looked nice though! I love my hair after I blow dry it. I was antsy while Matt was getting ready though. I had a cup of coffee this morning and it just about killed me. I was ready to jump out of my skin!

Maddy was a perfect angel in church. She sat next to me for a long time and just kind of watched what was going on. Then she snacked on pretzels some. Then she sat in my lap and watched. And by that point, church was over! She looked so cute today for church. I love dressing her up although she complained about the dress as soon as I put it on her. She tried to pull it off over her head. I put on an Elmo to keep her mind off it while we waited for Daddy to get ready (sorry again, Daddy, that I didn't leave you much time). When we walked into the fellowship hall on the way into church, there were about 10 people in there. Well, they all stopped and looked at Maddy and smiled. I'm telling ya, she looked darn cute! Well, Maddy gave them the shy eyes and cast down her eyes through a smile. One of the Ladies said, "Yep, everybody is looking at you! You're just soooo cute!!" And well, she was. :)

On that note, I did cut her bangs in the bathtub tonight the same way I did last time, so let's just hope I didn't screw 'em up!!! They were still a bit wet when she went to bed. But she was good at letting me do it. She watched the entire time.

On the way home we picked up some chicken nuggets for her from McD's. She loved 'em of course. She must have ate at least 4 (and for her that's a lot) in the car ride home. Hey, she was happy and I know she was getting hungry (church ends at noon) so it worked out nicely.

Yesterday one of the four gate anchors to the foyer came undone so Matt and Maddy ran out to Lowes to buy a new anchor for the wall. They also stopped at Giant for a couple groceries and at Arby's for dinner. While they were gone I was able to sort through all of Maddy's drawers and organize her clothing while moving around winter and summer stuff. I took a whole bin downstairs to put away! Sheesh. She wore them all pretty well though. I hate when I find stuff in the bottom of a drawer she's never worn! Now her drawers are organized for fall and I can see bottom. We also put the filing cabinet in the closet since we couldn't put drawer locks on them. Close enough! We put outlet covers on the three outlets that have things plugged in. Only the night light is the one thing that's uncovered. I cleaned out a white bin some of things she shouldn't get into if she gets up in the middle of the night. Now all we have left is the bookcase and that will be tomorrow night.

We all took a nice long walk in the crisp fall weather and that was it for the night! Tonight Matt and I will have a fire on the deck, that will be really nice!

Tea of the day: NO TEA! I had coffee and since then haven't had much time for anything else. Maybe I'll make a cup now.
WO of the day: Brisk walk
