I did forget to mention the one and only downfall of the Dyson. It's powerful. Well, that's not the downfall. It's what it does to the seams in my carpet. I'm sure this is my carpet's downfall and not the Dyson, but today Matt vacuumed (since he wanted to try it out) and he pushed it over the seam of the carpet between the dining room and living room and it brought up, easily a foot and half of the seam. So all we can do is cut off the loose end and glue it down. We've never had issues with that seam before. Now, our living room has a seam running right through it that we've NEVER been happy with. It keeps coming up in various areas. Well, when I first vacuumed the seam came up in five places. I'm glad I bought more superglue!
Today should be fun and busy. I'm hosting an afternoon playgroup for the little kids who are all Maddy's same age. Then Maddy and I go to get our flu shots at 6:15. This morning I need to clean up a bit for the playgroup, just touch up stuff. Then I need to prep dinner early so that way it is ready to go when Matt gets home so we can still make it to the Flu Clinic in time. If I can get both of those things done, we're going over to the new Stein Mart five minutes away from us. I have a coupon. Love the coupon.
Maddy went to bed without issue last night. Not a fuss. I was impressed considering she was a bit wound up and I thought we'd have a Cry It Out issue on hand. She was up at 2:30-3:15 with a stuffy nose. Although, she never fussed when we laid her down and would TRY to fall asleep for 15 minutes but would call out complaining about her nose. So we finally gave her Benedryl but we had been avoiding it. The Cry It Out has really worked for her and we're back to her falling asleep on her own without a fight, Matt and I have the night to ourselves and we're all getting good rest. It's such a blessing!! Maybe I can start my workouts again now that I'm not exhausted, too. I see that in my Monday's future!
Ok, off to make dinner and clean.
