1/7/11 – Surprise Girls Day

Well, today started off quite hectic! Today was my mom’s Friday with the girls…but, now mom’s sick! I woke up to a voicemail that she was still battling a cold, and didn’t want to pass it on to the girls, so she couldn’t watch them. While I, of course, completely agreed and understood, this threw me into a panic because I have so much work to do, including a pile of stuff I left specifically to get going this morning. Christian doesn’t really have any leave time at work (until June!!), so he couldn’t stay home. My mother in law was already at work for the day, so that wasn’t an option. I contemplated calling up my dad/stepmom, but they just live so far away, I just didn’t think it was a great option. So, in the end, I decided to just stay home. Actually, knowing that my office has MANY willing babysitters, I decided to bring them in to work with me for a short time, just so I can clean up some loose ends. I ended up at work for about 1½ hours, the girls got in some play time with my co-workers, and I felt much more relieved.

It was time for a quick lunch and naps once we got home, and I actually took a nap myself! I haven’t done that in a VERY long time. It was much deserved if I don’t say so myself!

Christian had his monthly ear appointment today. He has one more before his next (and hopefully FINAL) surgery. Hopefully all of this will finally work. After some dinner and play time, the girls went to bed, and we watched a movie. A WHOLE movie. We watched “The Other Guys”, and it was HILARIOUS. It was definitely what we needed. Some cuddle time and a good comedy.

Here’s a picture of my girls today. I love this one.
