Mom's morning out yesterday was such a blast. First I went to my local Ulta for my haircut. I swear that my stylist is a magician. I walked in wanting to get a good trim/reshaping/get rid of layers. Ok, if the layers aren't there to cut off, how do you get rid of layers? Some of them are still to short to really take care of. But honestly, I walked out with a great soft bob with soft layers and it really is a huge change although she barely cut off anything. She totally changed my cut without really cutting off much length! Also fun is that they were having customer appreciation services. So I received a free paraffin hand dip. They had coffee, homemade cookies, bottled water. Of course I received the head massage (which she seemed to do forever!!) while getting my hair washed. So nice! I did buy a top coat nailpolish and also a deep cleanser for once a week.
Then I went over to Walmart to do a bit of shopping! Eureka! My keychains were back in stock so I bought them out again. I have a ton of heart ones now and also the rectangular ones I like better. I will need to stop at the other Walmart to see if they have more in stock, too. Once I find something I like I stick with it! I did a bit more shopping but not for anything exciting at Walmart. Then I went over to DSW to buy a new pair of workout shoes. Lord, that took forever. I didn't want to spend a fortune on shoes but I wanted ones that were nice. I swear I spent a good 1/2 hour trying on shoes. Then I spent a total of three minutes trying on some cute ankle heeled boots. :) I bought both. I popped over to World Market to buy more Torani Sugar free syrup for the house.
I returned home and Maddy had just gone down for a nap. When she got up we went out to the post office to mail my mom's birthday gifts. Then we went to Wegmans for dinner. I got the sushi, Matt got a salad from the salad bar and I bought some soup for Maddy. We all sat upstairs to eat but it was anything but pleasant. Maddy was just too squirrely. I realize we don't take her out to eat that often (ok, once), but I think she'd actually be better at a sit down place because we aren't fussing with containers, food, etc.. After running a couple more errands and heading back home I started to realize something.
My throat was starting to feel raw. ARGH. Yes, I was catching Maddy's cold. Darn it! I still got my workout in (which has been going really well, by the way). I took a couple Advil and Matt and I watched some TV. We went to bed at 10 but I was having a hard time falling asleep. I'd say I fell asleep at 10:45. Maddy was up at 11:10 crying. I think she had fallen asleep outside the blankets and being cold caught up with her or she had a nightmare. After a few minutes of being rocked I thought she was ready to go back to sleep. Not so. So Maddy and I wound up watching Mr. Rodgers until about midnight to get her mind off of whatever was bugging her. So I really didn't go to bed until Midnight last night. Add in she was up once more that night and I was pretty dead this morning.
We skipped class since Maddy seems to be on the tail end of her cold and I wasn't sure which direction my stuff was heading. I didn't want to get anyone else sick and I didn't want to have us catch someone else's germs either. But Maddy seems so much better tonight and I am actually feeling pretty good as well! I'm hoping we continue this way through tomorrow so we can go to playgroup on Thursday.
Other than that, not much going on. Today was very uneventful. We spent the day in the house. I took a nap when she did. Matt came home earlier than normal since my dinner in the crockpot was done much faster than expected. I'm hoping to still go to bed no later than 10:15 tonight...who knows if she'll be up. Goodnight!
Tea of the day: Coconut Aloha tea and lots of other herbal tea throughout the day.
