She's Talking Away

Lauryn was looking really sleepy so I put her down for a nap and she's been talking up a storm in her room.  I love when she's does that!

So far today, I finally organized and put away the last of the things that were in boxes in the bathroom closet...thank you very much Lloyd for adding more shelves :)  The dusting and vacuuming has been done, the bed is made, toys are picked up and the few dishes from lunch and Lauryn's bottles are done.  Now I need to figure what to make for dinner.  I also have two loads of laundry to get to but if it's not done today it's no big deal.

I need to start looking up more recipes.  Feels like I haven't tried anything new in a while.  I got a new Bon Appetit magazine but I rarely find anything in there that we would like.  We're just not that fancy..LOL

Sleepy

Today was nice but felt incredibly long!  Lauryn and I were up most of the night last night and even though I did fall asleep for a little while on the couch while she was taking a nap, I still felt whooped most of the day.  I vacuumed, did the dishes and made dinner...that's about it!  I used some of the roast I made for dinner yesterday to make shredded beef tacos.  I just added some garlic and some cumin and they were really good!  I made Mexican rice and of course, guacamole to go with it.  It's been a few hours but I think I'm still stuffed.

I should really head to bed.  Wish me luck that me and my sweet pea get a good nights sleep!

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!
