It was one of those days...

It actually was a good day for Brad and I. I woke up with all the intentions of getting a bunch of stuff done but in the end I spent most of the day with Brad doing date night things. That was all fun and good, until now. At 9:30 at night I have a few chores that really should be handled but instead I am typing this blog and thinking about counting sheep. It's hard being a full time mommy, wife and professional. Working full time 5 days a week then having a busy weekend can really wear on a person's nerves. I'm not saying it's anything specific that wears you down just the pace and the constant GOING. But I will agree that if my life is not always filled with the things I do on a daily basis I wouldn't know what to do with myself. SO why do I bring this up? I look around my house...particularly to my right...



And see this mess. Now some of you may say that's not bad. But in that particular area I see about 20 things that I need to work on. I have what some people would call a "type A" personality. If I could I would diagnose myself as having some degree of OCD. My own personal experiences with this is that I sleep much better knowing I will not wake up with a mess in my house. But I will stay up late making sure the house is clean, so in the end I lose sleep. Tonight I believe I will just go to bed with a dirty house. I have those days when my type A personality doesn't really get to spend much time exposing itself. And it was one of those days.

Brad and I enjoyed a lovely day together going out to eat and then to a movie, baby free. We seriously must do this more often. Marie spent the afternoon with her Grrrrnny and Papa. It was nice spending a few hours doing stress free things.

We also took the dogs to the groomers. Gizmo now has her summer haircut!!



She can no longer "whip her hair back and forth," at least for a few weeks. She gets a little sassy and frisky when she has no hair.

Also Marie is Marie. She still has her cough but I am hoping she will do better tonight. Last night wasn't that good of a night. COUGHED all night long. If this crazy wind would ever settle down all these little ones might be able to breath a little better. Marie never acts like she is feeling bad. She is one of those kids that comes in to the office and the parent swears up and down their child is sick but never seems to act like it once they enter the office building. Yes I have one of those children. She had a 101.4 fever on Thursday when she went in to our office and had a blast running around making her momma chase her. She really is a good baby. Brad and I are truly blessed to have such a great family.

Oh and one of those things on my list today was to clean out my car. WOWZERS!! That was an experience. It's been a while since that has happened...I knew I smelled sour milk somewhere. I FOUND IT!! GROSS. My poor car. I also stripped down Marie's car seat as well. My conclusion is that no food should be fed to a baby in a car seat, haha. So many crumbs fell out of that sucker this evening. But after tonight she will have a super fresh smelling car seat. That type A personality is slipping away day by day. I just hope I don't turn in to a total slob!! HAHA. Ok the thought of that just makes me laugh.
