Feeling Pretty Good

Well, today is the big day. I'm leaving my daughter with my mother while Lloyd and I go attend a wedding in Cadillac. So far, I'm feeling pretty good about it. There is no one I trust more than my mom. I know she knows everything about Lauryn and she knows how I like things done and I know she wouldn't do anything or give anything to Lauryn that I wouldn't approve of. That means a lot to me. I do feel a little nervous that Lauryn might get upset that we're gone so long. This will be the first time she and I have been away from each other all day. She'll probably do better than I will! I promised Lloyd that I wouldn't change my mind and ask him to turn around half way there :P

I have a few things I need to get done today. I made a list/schedule for my mom already but I do want to throw a load of laundry and vacuum again. I feel like vacuuming has become like laundry....never ending! With a dog and cat who are in shedding season and a baby who's learning to crawl, I am constantly vacuuming! I also need to make up a few bottles, put some wet wash cloths in the fridge in case her teeth start bothering her and just make sure I have everything as ready as I can.

I am very much looking forward to going to the wedding today. The bride is a very sweet girl I used to work with and I'm excited for her because I know how much she's wanted this big day. I'm also looking forward to Lloyd and I getting out, just the two of us and having a little fun. We haven't danced in a while so I'm looking forward to getting out there during the reception. Should be a fun day!

Tomorrow's The Big Day

I am getting a little nervous now.  We have a wedding to go to tomorrow and it's in Cadillac so we decided to have my mom come over and watch Lauryn for the day, instead of taking her with us.  There is no one I trust more than my mom and I know she knows where everything is and how to do everything but I'm nervous because this will be, by far, the longest time I've spent away from my baby girl!  I am looking forward to going to the wedding and having some time with Lloyd but I'm hoping I don't freak out being that far away for that long!

Lots to do today.  I have to clean the bathroom, do two loads of laundry, dust, sweep, mop, vacuum...it probably sounds like my house is a mess :)  It's not, I just didn't do these things earlier in the week like I usually do, so they all need to get done today.  I also need to paint my toe nails and find my strappy heels for tomorrow.

I think I'm going to grill some chicken breasts for dinner tonight and make linguine oil and garlic to go with them.  I've been all about that pasta lately and Lloyd really likes it too.
