OMG TGIF SRSLY

It finally happened. I missed a 365 day. I had to take a photo with my phone while she was sleeping. It still technically counts but its poor quality and I just don’t like it. (so today’s photos are going to be mostly reruns) I was in such a hurry to do everything last night that I didn’t even realize that I was missing the battery for my camera until almost 8:00 and by then she was already asleep. I don’t know where my time goes.
So my car broke down on Wednesday. It started on Tuesday because Tuesday is when things always start to go bad, and Wednesday on my drive home the check engine light finally came on, less than two miles from Laine’s daycare and my neighborhood. But I couldn’t push it any further so my mom had to come and pick me and Laine up and take us home. Then of course she stayed to wash my dishes for me. Ha, that’s one good thing about a car breaking down I guess, people feel sorry for you and want to help out. People, you can feel sorry for me any time if it gets my dishes washed.
So yesterday Erik had to drive me around. He and I both took Laine to daycare and he got to see how I drop her off, he looked at me funny and he told me that usually he just leaves her in the car seat and puts her right inside the door, hands the lady the bag and waves goodbye. I was shocked! I take her out of the car seat; I give her millions of kisses and squeeze her until she starts reaching for the teacher just to get away from me so she can breathe. Then I tell them how long she’s been awake, if she’s eaten and when her last diaper change was. And then I stand at the door until she starts playing and gets distracted, then I leave. It broke my heart that he just dumps her off like that, so yeah, he’s not going to have that responsibility again. Ever. Except for today. Then never.
So he had to drive me to and from work as well. I thought it would be so great to ride together but it’s been so long since I’ve seen Erik on a weekday morning that I’d forgotten what a rotten morning person he is. So we rode is silence the whole way to my office. I told him I needed to be picked up no later than 5:15 at the absolute latest. And he came rolling in at 5:20, then I told him that taking 45 is the quickest way home and he takes 518, then I told him we need to get to the day care quick fast and in a hurry, so he takes and extra 15 minutes to talk to the mechanic about my car. I love my husband and I’ve missed him terribly, but man, what a day to have after all that absence. It sucked. I’m looking forward to having a nice weekend with him to make up for it.
I had to make a quick run to the grocery store after getting my car, all we had in the house were things Erik didn’t want for dinner so I went and got some spinach and broccoli and mushrooms and made some chicken and we ate a super yummy meal. I told Erik that it’s better to keep Laine up until at least 8:30 before putting her down but he got her settled on the couch with him with a bottle and her blanket at 7:00, that’s like giving her Nyquil, she was out within minutes. I think we just got very, very lucky that she didn’t wake up at 4:00.
After she went to sleep I rushed myself over to my parents house to do my Wii Active workout and then did a little extra because the workout felt too short and I didn’t’ feel like I accomplished anything, there is the option to make your own workout so I did that and added about 7 minutes to my normal workout, it was just enough. When I got home Erik was already in bed watching TV so I was able to snuggle with him for about an hour before we turned out the light and hit the sack.
The thunder woke me up this morning early so I was up and doing laundry and cleaning up the living room around 5:00. I asked Erik if he’d bring me Laine after I was in the shower for about 5 minutes so that I could give her a bath before I took her to day care, but he told me he’d take care of it later and take her into daycare for me. I was totally okay with taking the extra time to get a few things done, like conditioning my hair and ironing my shirt. Once I was dressed and make-upped I fed the dog and let her out, packed up Laine’s diaper bag and got Erik’s lunch made I headed out the door, strait into a waterfall. The rain was streaming off our house in a solid sheet in front of the front door and splashing up against the door so when I opened the door I got a bucket worth of water strait in the face. Yeah. That happened.
So I closed the door stripped down and put my pajama’s back on, I grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt, stuffed them in a bag along with a dry pair of shoes and tried again. I had to get into Erik’s car to grab my back up makeup bag that I take with me to work. I finally made it to my car completely soaked. My shirt stuck to me, my hair drenched and dripping down my back and my feet frozen, but as it turns out I still ended up getting compliments on my look today, the jeans and shirt and shoes I grabbed were what I had laid out for church on Sunday, my make up was easy to touch up and my hair dried very strait. So this day still has to potential to not suck.
