Friday = DONE!

Well, today was Friday, and for my weekly chores that means grocery shopping! And since Husband worked in the afternoon/evening I got to go by myself. (so was not looking forward to that) With the awesome Cozi app I already have my grocery list ready (although still adding things to it and organizing and what not. But anyways, I get Munchkin in her car seat and off we go! It was a fairly un-eventful trip, although WIC gives you so much baby food! Seriously, I have no clue how we're going to go through all of it. 16 jars of baby food minimum a week, it's crazy! Since we moved I've been shopping at a new Dillons, just as nice, but things are in a different place, so it sometimes takes a little extra time to find things. Munchkin was pretty happy during the shopping so the extra time wasn't really stressful. There was a surprising lack of people there, honestly, I think there were as many people at 4 on a Friday as there are at 10 at night, for someone with social anxiety, it was quite relaxing.
We're all done, going to check out, and we have a very nice young guy clerk, who has only done the WIC checks once before (poor thing) So he struggled through it, but was very nice, we got everything taken care of, and I'm going to walk out to the car, and I can't find my handy dandy WIC folder thingy. So I look in the diaper bag, on the counter, everywhere, finally find it in the cart. Disaster averted I head to the car. Everything's in the trunk, baby buckled in the back, and I can't find my phone. Let the freak out begin, I looked all through the diaper bag, the back seat, took the grocery bags out of the trunk looking for it, couldn't find it. So as I'm loading the bags back into the trunk I feel something odd in my shirt, I had my stupid phone all along, it had just fallen down and was playing hid and seek, evidently on a much higher level that I was. Oh, so much fun.

But in much better news, I got all but two things on my daily list done, and everything done for my Friday list! I'm so proud of myself. Now, I'm going to take the last 20 minutes of my time before bed and goof off.

Night!

Feeling pretty good today!

I got up, got ready, got the baby ready and we were off! We made it to the post office to pick up our held mail and to take the hold off. See, it's a funny story; when we moved and I went to get our new mailbox keys the post office told me that the previous tenants had not turned in their keys, so therefore I had to pay for a new lock/key set. So not fair if you as me, having to pay for someone else's stupidity. But anyway, I paid for the outrageous new lock, and was told to call before I went to get my keys (to make sure they were actually finished before I drove out to get them) So I called Friday and was told to pick them up, and did so. But I forgot to pick up the mail/remove the hold while I was out, and by the time I was done with the rest of my day it was to late. So I had to go back today, and I have a very bad track record about getting to the post office in time on Saturdays. But in awesome news: Monday we'll get our first mail at our new place :)
And in even better news: The baby slept for almost 8 hours last night! I was so excited, like beyond excited. I actually got about 7 hours of sleep myself. And she even took a nap today while Ber and I were hanging out.
The original plan for today was Ber was going to take Munchkin and leave me here alone, well that didn't happen, because Ber mentioned she was going to Hobby Lobby, and after asking Husband about it, I went with because I wanted to do this :
This is the actual complete project. (you can see me taking the picture and Bur waving in the background...she's kinda crazy like that) So instead of getting as much work done as I was hoping, I got part  of it done and had a wonderful afternoon with Ber and Munchkin.

Although I did get quite a bit organized this morning. Using this awesome app in my phone I have all the important reminders for this month in there. And that just makes me feel good, like I really accomplished something and have my month in order, which just makes life seem easier and more productive

day 7 is completed and my sink is shiny tonight! I'm feeling pretty good about that :) Now just to tackle day 8 and keep going and continue feeling positive about life and the Flying process.

I hate when your face starts pealing after having a minor sunburn. It's nice that washing my face doesn't feel like rubbing sandpaper on my cheeks, but still. I'm just happy I don't normally wear make-up, because there would be no way I could do that natural 'no I'm not wearing make-up' look today. (and that's what I prefer to try to do. Although it is kinda fun to do the crazy exotic make-up every once in a while, I just don't really go out anywhere that it would be appropriate for much anymore.

Well, it seems like I had quite a bit to say today, anywho, I'm off to get a few rows of crochet finished and then off to bed.
