11/7/11 - "My Chuy"

Todays "30 Days of Thankful" item is, our Furbaby, Chuy! As much as he drives me crazy, Chuy is definitely a part of the family, and we would not be complete without him. No matter how much I may ignore him, or how many times he hears "no", "stop it", "go away"...he still loves me, unconditionally. He greets me, tail wagging at top speed, barely containing his cries of joy, as if I'm the most amazing person in the world. He provides ample entertainment for the family as a whole, and, Olivia is just over the moon in love with him. We jokingly ask her all the time if we should get rid of Chuy...she says "oh no, I love my Chuy". So, yes, Chuy the Chihuahua, we are truly thankful for you!

Today was a pretty good day. I found out our bank is offering discounted tickets to Disney on Ice next month, so my mom, Olivia and I, along with Kelly and Meeka will be going, and we're all super excited about it, I can't wait to see the girls' reaction! So fun. I was feeling a little under the water today, just kind of run down more than anything I think, and being that I don't have anything too pressing sitting in my box right now, I took the afternoon off. I took right to the couch and relaxed for a while, which was much needed. Once I had some energy back, I took to my newest decorating project...our wall vinyls. I had a BIG, BIG problem with it though. I think the mixture of our cold basement, a textured wall, and a blow dryer that really doesn't work made it a very difficult task. In the end, I got it up, but had to do it letter by letter, and it's not perfect yet. I'll need to touch it up when I get access to a better heat source. At least I've finally started on a task I've been wanting to do for a long, LONG time.

Once Christian and the girls were home, I started dinner, did some dishes and hung out with the girls while Christian replaced a drippy laundry room faucet. Seriously, there is always something that needs replacing! We didn't get much down time today...it was bed time before we knew it! Thankfully, the girls seem to have adapted to the time change with no issue. They went to bed last night at a decent time, woke up on our way to "daycare" this morning, took their naps at a normal time this afternoon and were off to bed tonight with no issue. YAY, take that time change!

Here's a picture of my sweet Amelia Bedelia. I just love this face!
