After church today (which is a huge undertaking in and of itself) we stopped at MacD's to pick up chicken nuggets for Maddy for the drive home. It works out nice because she get some food in her before she goes down for nap at 1:00. It also helps keep her awake since if she's in the car around noon after the switch of daylight savings time she will fall asleep which means NO NAP. So whatever we can do to keep her awake, we do. Well, Matt ran in (there's no drive through at this place) and picked up food. When he came back, I unlocked his front door for him so he can get back in.
That was a HUGE mistake. The car's alarm started going off. He tried to press the buttons to make it stop. No dice. He tried to start the car to make it stop, nope. Anyway, finally it just stopped on its own and we drove home. All was good
--until we arrived at home. He opened his car door after turning off the car and AGAIN with the beeping. We just high tailed it into the house and got Maddy ready for a nap, changed clothes and everything. We'll deal with it more when Maddy gets up. I'm hoping if we lock the doors from the outside with the button it will reset the system. If not, we're going to need to take it into the shop to have it reset by them. What a bunch of rigmarole.
Other than that, church went fine. Maddy is an angel like always. She especially loves to color with mess free markers/paper right now, so she sat/laid on the pew did that for a lot of service.
The house looks like a hurricane hit it, AGAIN. I don't know how on earth this happens but it always does. I swear there are little gnomes running around making a mess. I do know of one little gnome that does it... :)
My time last night out with Kris, my college roommate was a blast. We went out for dinner and then back to her hotel and had a beer at the bar. It was really nice to get together with her.
Before I met Kris we bought ordered Maddy's birthday cake. I think it's going to turn out really nice. It has her favorites on it--flamingos, kittens and purple writing.
Ok, off to starting thinking about Christmas gifts, cards, etc. SHEESH, the holiday season is already here! When did this happen?
Tea of the day: 2 cups pumpkin spice tea
