~I'm Done~

Ding.

There went the timer.

I'm officially done.

This goose is cooked, let me tell you.

I even had about an hour nap on the couch today but I could so go to sleep right now.

I guess all the stress and the lack of sleep from the last few days is really kicking me in the arse.

Oh well.  I guess that all comes with being a Mommy, right?

Right.

So no more complaining, okay?

Well, shite, maybe some later down the road, but no more today :D

Today was actually good.

My nieces were on their best behaviors and we had a good time.  We spent a good hour outside playing and just enjoying the lovely weather.

Then once Miss Rowan started to misbehave- yes, she gets awful when she is tired- she went to take a nap.

That is when the rest of us crashed out on the couches!

Ah, bliss I tell you.

The bliss lasted a good hour until my damn dogs decided that they'd bark to the door bell ringing... the door bell that was ringing ON THE TV!!!!  Ugh, Crazy Mutts I tell you!!

After a while, we all loaded up into the car and I had to take my oldest niece to her Youth Football game, where she is a cheerleader.  The silly thing wanted me to take her at 5pm when she didn't have to be there until 715!!  She has found that she likes boys :)  She is too cute... Much older than her 13 years, I swear.

Once we dropped her off, the kiddos (Rowan, Zach and my other niece Jess) went to Target...

Goodness, do I love that place.

I didn't have to get anything, but I wanted to waste some time and obviously some money... lol... So we went.

We ended up walking out with a Giant Jack-o-Lantern, a bag of Candy Corn and Peanut Butter M & M's, a book for my niece and one for me (Janet Evanovich's "One for the Money") , a movie for Ro ("Alice in Wonderland") and a movie for Derek and me ("Family Guy"), three pairs of slippers- two for me ($5.99 each what a steal!!) and one for Rowan, and then two puzzles for my puzzle loving daughter!!

Am I crazy or what?  I didn't need anything in Target and I came out with all of that!!!

Shopping at Target always makes me feel better though... I walk out with a smile each and every time!!

haha, I'm such a goof.

Dinner was El Pollo Loco for me and McDonalds for the girls.  I really enjoy their salads from there.  Very tasty and pretty healthy.

Derek should be home soon.

He had to go to a Stanislaus County Wide SWAT dinner.  He wasn't too keen on going, but because the Sgt had bought tickets and pretty much told him he was going, he went.

Thankfully he didn't want me to go... Those things are so boring and the wives of the other guys from the other SWAT teams are so weird.  Two years ago we went to a dinner and the wives from another SWAT team were calling themselves and each other "SWAT Bitches".  Um, yeah.  Weird huh?

Hey, I'm VERY VERY proud to be the wife of a police officer... But I will NEVER refer to myself as a SWAT Bitch.  Come on now... 

SO anyways, he should be home soon.  And it will be nice having him here.

Tonight I hope to get Zach to sleep in his crib.  He is doing so much better that I want to get him back in there before he gets too used to being in our bed.

Derek has a hard time sleeping when he is in there... He feels like he is going to squish him.  And truthfully, I'm afraid he will too :)  Derek sleeps like a rock and sleeps all over the bed... Shoot, half the time he sleeps on me and doesn't realize it!

Zach still doesn't have too much of an urge for food.  He has had maybe a total of 3 bottles today... When he usually has one every 4-5 hours.  But he did have some Apple Sweet Potato mixed with Oatmeal at lunch... So, I guess he is okay.  He has had plenty of Poopy Diapers (ewww!) and pee diapers... So I know he is getting plenty of fluids.

I just can't wait until he is 100% back to normal... I'd say we are a good 80-85%... But 100% is just around the corner, I know it!!

Well, I think I am going to go watch "Alice in Wonderland" with Rowan, even though I'm not too hot on the movie.  There is just something weird about it :)

Plus, I'm sure you all are tired of hearing me ramble on!!

Have a great evening and see you all soon...
