Belated, but still! I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! Our day was great here. I slept in and it was much appreciated! I woke up to find balloons and chocolates and Maddy signing her mother's day card to me. Matt made steak, eggs and hashbrowns for breakfast. We had left over steak from the night before and that was great. Although, if you've never seen 12 eggs in a pan all at once it's quite a sight! Although I don't suggest you try it! I took a nice long hot shower and got ready for the day. Then during Maddy's nap grandma and I went out shopping. I bought a couple pair of shoes and some makeup/girlie stuff at Ulta. Always fun! I also bought a few things for Maddy at World Market, too. I can't go without buying a couple things for Maddy! That night I gave myself a pedicure and even added a bit of 'bling' to it. I'm addicted to bling on my toes now. Nothing too crazy or sparkling, just a bit. We played Wii too and that is always fun. Matt and I purchased my Mother's Day gifts last week online. I wasn't expecting anything and it was really just an excuse to buy the couple things I've had my eye on. One is a CD set--Omigod! The 80's pop culture box set (totally!). And then also an iPod portable speaker docking system with FM as well. I was shocked to find them on my front stoop yesterday afternoon! I've already loaded the CDs to my itunes and now I need to sync up my iPhone with it and upload my favorites to my phone. Too much fun! The docking station is even nicer than I thought it was going to be and really does have great sound.
My parents trip went well. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time. Today it looks like it's going to be sunny and warm. We did get a brief stop in the rain where we went out to play. Maddy found a few of the left over dandelions that were floating around so hence the above picture. I love that one! I did upload a TON of pictures and a few videos to the gallery, so go check 'em out!
Maddy warmed up to my parents right away the first day. That was nice to see! She wanted to play with them like crazy. She still wasn't that keen on sitting and snuggling, but she was very friendly and loving, so I'll take it. She's such a blast to watch and it's fun to share that excitement with other people. She had my parents chuckling all the time.
Matt really burned the midnight oil this week--quite literally. He worked from 8 am to 4:30 am one day and then for five hours on Saturday and even a couple on Sunday! Now he's back to work today after getting up at 4:30 to get my parents off to the airport. I will be happy for him when his work move is done. It's a lot of stress and work for him, I know.
The house thing is really revving up! Today we have some cleaners coming in to deep clean the house. (I'm thrilled they're going to do the oven!) Then tomorrow the camera guy comes to take pictures of the house and by the weekend we'll be on the market. There seems like there is so much to do before now and then. It will all get done, I know.
As for me, I want to get back on the wagon with eating right and working out. I've been HORRIBLE this last month. With being sick, not sleeping and really busy I haven't worked out and my eating habits are slipping, too. I can tell I am getting flabby! I still fit into all my new clothes without issue, but not as well, so I'm back on the wagon starting today!!
Oh! Maddy finally made it to class for the first time in three weeks yesterday after being sick. She loved it and I'm so glad to be using the class we paid for.
Alrighty, I'm going to get a quick shower before the kiddo is up. Have a great week everyone!
