It started off rough. I couldn't get myself out of bed, so I was running late to begin with. I quickly got myself ready, got the girls up and ready and rushed out to get them loaded in the car. In the meantime, Christian discovered that the dog escaped the yard...AGAIN (he's never run away in the morning before). He took off looking for him, and I was off to drop the girls off at school. After I dropped them off, I joined in the search. We both went around the neighborhood over and over again, to no avail. He finally had to head to work - already late (and his work does not take kindly to lateness). I decided to one last sweep around the block, driving as slow as I could (probably looking like the creepiest neighborhood stalker ever), yelling his name out the window. Sure enough, he came running down the street, up to my car, like it was no big deal. An hour of searching. So frustrating. So, this weekend we'll be investing in some collars - maybe stop in to get his shots updated, and figuring out what to do. Our current plan is to line the fence with chicken wire. Should be fairly cheap to do, but sounds very time consuming. It will be worth it once it's done through, and we can stop worrying. For now, he'll be chained up every time he goes outside. Ugh.
So, I arrived to work about an hour late. The morning was busy, so it took my mind off of everything and I was able to just move on with the day. Then, excitement. One of my online friends, Mikelle, is in town for work, and I met up with her for lunch today. YAY! It was chaotic trying to get to her....in Minneapolis, at lunch time, near Target Field, right before a Twins game was starting up. I finally got to her, and we had a great lunch. Chatting, getting to know each other better. It was great. Man I love meeting my online moms, it's so comforting putting that piece together. Then, it was back to work. Another chaotic drive out of town! Dang Minneapolis.
The afternoon flew by thanks to my LONG lunch and a really confusing, messed up Contract that I'm working on right now. Haven't had one of those in a long time, definitely has my brain working over time!
Christian had to work some OT today, so I picked the girls up again, and met him at home. He then took them over to his parents house for dinner and some pool time. Which gave me the chance to finish up my laundry from this weekend, do a little more picking up around the house, and FINALLY finish catching up on my blog. By the time they arrived home, it was time for bed. YAY, productive day! Tomorrow is my Friday, and I'm super excited about that! Bring on the weekend!
Today, Olivia's teacher drew a picture of her. She was SO excited to show me, and it's super cute. What a fun keepsake :)
