Here is your daily dose of Charley - we had fun playing with a box today :) heehee


I did have a bunch of mishaps today though, it just seemed like one after another...WARNING baby poo talk ahead...

  • Started the day off well - well as good as can be when Charley wakes up at 5am. But then she napped (and so did I!!) from 7:45-10:15!!
  • Next on our plan was to meet Jimmy for lunch and then hit up Trader Joe's - I was also proactive and packed clothes to go to the gym on our way back - I figured Charley would take her afternoon nap in the car on the way back (about 30 min or so) and then be rested up for hopefully at least a 30-40 minute stint at the gym daycare
  • Made it to see Jimmy and people at work - who just love to see Charley - then went to lunch
  • After lunch I needed gas - headed for CostCo where gas was $1.85 a gallon!! I was pumped, there was a little of a line, but no biggie...then I realize I didn't bring my wallet!
  • I thought it was in Jimmy's car - so back to work I went - it wasn't - It was at home
  • So home we headed - as the car began to smell of baby poo...
  • I decided not to just bag everything and went straight to the gym instead of home - only to find out that the gym daycare is closed from 2-4 every day - I got there at 2:30. Eh
  • I asked if I could just change Charley in the women's room - they said no problem - and oh there was poo everywhere - always fun.
  • We head home to change her clothes (I did have an extra set of clothes with me, but she barely got it on most of her clothes, so I thought it would be better to come home where I could clean her up more)
  • After we were home I did get some things done - vacuumed the living room and stairs then we played some and I straightened up her room some
  • My cousin was on her way for dinner - we were trying a new Italian place near my house - she made it here in time for me to walk the dogs - IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE
  • Then we went to dinner - where Charley cried the entire way there (good thing it was close) I didn't feed her dinner because I wanted to feed her at the restaurant so she'd be occupied with something to do...so she was HUNGRY.
  • Dinner went well - food was good - will def go back there. Company was good too. And once Charley got food in her tummy she was having a blast - there were 2 other little kids within sight of her - she was having fun flirting with them - it just cracks me up how little kids have 'little kid radar' and just love looking at and watching other little kids.
  • Came home from dinner - tried to put Charley to bed...she was WIDE AWAKE - so she came down and hung out with my cousin and I
  • We chatted while Charley played
  • I tried to put her to bed a 2nd time...she was just about asleep...then MORE POO
  • So I had to change her...then she was wide awake talking to me and making funny noises, so cute that I had to laugh a few times - which didn't help
  • Finally got her to bed about an hour after her normal time...thank goodness she is still asleep
  • I should be asleep but I wanted to try a new recipe that I was thinking of making for Thanksgiving dessert - oh boy was that a FAILURE - it fell apart and almost ended up on the kitchen floor. It is currently in the fridge so Jimmy can pick at it later if he wants to.
  • I should have just given up and gone to bed when my cousin left - but nope - now I am up and it is after midnight and I need to be in bed! But I have to go and watch the very end of "Get Smart" which we rented a few nights ago - but I fell asleep...then to bed!
Sorry for the rambling bullets, thought it would be better bulleted style, but now I am thinking not so much, but am too lazy to go and fix it...sorry!

What a cute picture. OMG 1.85 a gallon?? Our cheapest is 2.29. Sorry everything didn't go your way yesterday. I tried a recipe out last night too for Thanksgiving. I've decided to not use it as well. Look at the bright side of that, better to have it not work last night then on Thanksgiving day right? I hope you have a better day today!

OOPS! Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it. It's 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Oh - what a frustrating day. Seems like you can't win for losing! Hope today is better and that you get to the gym!
