Since she has been sick, she has been going to bed around 6:30ish and after we got Jimmy signed up and Charley signed up for the day care room it was 6:30. They will watch her for an hour and about 40 minutes in they came to look for us, because she wouldn't stop crying. She never really cries, but since she has been sick she is crying a lot more - poor baby. So we took her home, she drank a whole bottle in the car, she was a hungry girl, but I know she wouldn't have drank the bottle there, because there were so many distractions.
She came home and went right to bed, she was a tired cookie. So we are going to try again on Saturday during the day to see how she does. I am sure she will do fine. I have to admit, I wanted to go and check on her many times during my workout or at least I kept looking towards the room where she was...but I never went in there until they came to get us. I am sure it will get easier for both of us. I am just glad we did it.
I had a semi-interview for a new job today - it was more of a informative lunch then anything. A friend recommended me for a job and the guy pretty much called me and said "it is yours if you want it" and he is willing to work with me part time too. The only catch is there is still a job possibility out there where I can work from home 5 days a week if a certain company wins a contract. They said they should hear before Thanksgiving. I am really hoping that will come through...I am keeping my fingers crossed, but it is nice to know that I have a back up if it doesn't come through.
I love my job now and love where I work, but things have changed since a new employer won our contract and they are planning on moving to another city in June and it is in a not-so-nice part of time and about an hour and a half drive from home - too far for me. So I need to find something new. I hope it all works out. Jimmy is starting a new job the Monday of Thanksgiving, and I am so excited for him, it is a huge step in the right direction and the lady he is working for is planning on retiring next year, so if he gets in there and does a great job, he will be in charge in a year.
Ok enough about all that...my workout was ok...I did 35 minutes on the treadmill - I walked 7 minutes and ran 3 and repeated that 3 times then walked for a 5 minute cool down. The running killed my lungs, but it felt great to get out there and do SOMETHING active. I also got to do some strength training for about 15 minutes before we had to go get Charley. But it was a lot better then nothing.
Hmm, what else. The Monkey Bread turned out great. Everyone at work loved it and devoured it, and I only had a little bit last night and a little bit today. I just barely ate my points tonight so I am doing great...oh and last night I didn't have my Breyers Free - So I was exactly on with my points yesterday.
Tomorrow night my friend Kelly and I are going to the Tot Swap - for those of you who are not familiar with them it is like a big consignment sale for kids clothing and toys. Kelly is selling some stuff at the sale so she got 2 passes to the pre-sale and invited me :) I was going to go on Saturday with everyone else, but this is even better. I am hoping to get a Kelty Carrier and some winter clothes for Charley. I usually do pretty good at these types of sales and I never get to go early, so I am hoping to do even better.
I am also on a mission tomorrow to get us all something to wear for our family Christmas pictures. My friend Margie and her wonderful daughter are going to be our photographers and are going to get a family picture of us...with the dogs! I am so excited. Also as a side note...I am so impressed with Margie's paper Christmas ornament skills...she is amazing! You definitely have to head over to her website and check it out!

Good luck with the gym. When BG was a baby I just learned to not look in there. It was like as soon as she saw me it was all over. She was fine until she saw me.
I am sure she will do much better during the day.
Good luck with the job too. I wish I could find something to do from home. But being a teacher I don't think they would let me teach a class from my living room :-)
Thanks so much for your comments - I'm definitely going to implement some of your ideas to up the healthy foods in my life. :)
Fingers crossed on the job prospects!
I use to check on Mikayla while she was in daycare in the gym with a quick sneak or fly by so she would have no idea I was there.
Congrats on the job opportunites - that is wonderful. I have been trying hard to find a new job here but in a small town it is hard, especially when I make a good salary now but I am really unmotivated and I don't want to be a legal secretary the rest of my life!
