5/13/11 - Happy Friday the 13th!

Another Friday has come along. Friday the 13th nonetheless (the only one of 2011!). I honestly cannot believe it's Friday, and that Friday is over for that matter. The days, weeks, MONTHS are just flying by. Seriously, where does the time go?? I mean, the weekends are booking up fast, which definitely means summer is creeping up on us. I love having a lot of fun, great plans, but it sure makes a chaotic life that much more chaotic. Not only the events and "plans", but the yard work and keeping up on all of that on top of the usual every day things. Oh summer, you sure know how to keep a girl on her toes!

Work was the same as it's been for months...crazy, busy and hectic. Even though we started our weight loss group yesterday, I'm REALLY starting tomorrow, so today was my last day to kind of indulge. I didn't really do that, other than Chinese food for dinner, but still...my last day. We still haven't heard anymore about the budgets or shut down...and in this case, no news is NOT good news. The legislative session ends on the 23rd, so in about a 1.5 weeks. So, with not even the slightest signs of a budget in sight, a special session is extremely likely. That just never means good things! But, as I've been doing, I'm trying to just block it all out, and not think about it. I did start to panic when something I hadn't even thought of was brought to my attention...if we do shut down, I lose my health insurance...which means we ALL lose our health insurance because I carry the whole family. Scary!

After work I rushed home to my naughty girls. Olivia had one accident today, and went in her diaper after her nap before getting to the potty. Dangit. BUT, other than that she did well all day. She woke up dry this morning (really early, before we left for work), and went to the potty right away! We were so proud of her. She was in quite a mood today...for my mom, and then all evening for us. It was rough. Getting up so early didn't help I'm sure, plus a fairly short nap AND, I discovered she has another 2nd molar popping through, so mix it all together and you get a VERY cranky toddler! Amelia slept a majority of the day, so hopefully that doesn't mean we're in for a long night...she went down really easy last night, slept ALL night, and apparently she didn't get up at until 9:00 this morning! Almost 12 whole hours! Now, that's more like it!

Once we got the girls to bed, Christian's friend stopped over, to have him help work on his car....AGAIN. I love having a hubby who cares about his friends so much, but it really does get old sometimes. Sometimes, you just have to learn to say no!

As we were waiting for Christian to get home from work, I gave Olivia an apple...when she set it down, Amelia started eating it...the whole, big apple. LOL. Then Olivia asked for a banana, and after taking a couple of bites, she "switched" with Amelia...and Amelia proceeded to eat thewhole banana, then went back to gnawing on the apple. Porker!
