Showing Up

This day was super crazy and I just ate coleslaw and tapioca pudding for dinner... so... 

have low expectations, is what I'm saying.

Kid had a half day and Baby did not... so... we had a ton of driving and some awkward time in between which we successfully spent eating, shopping, & returning Christmas stuff.

(P.S. I still haven't finished packing up the Christmas bins!!!!)

I did have a fun and successful afternoon out with my favorite date.  

With her homework load
we really don't get very much time to just hang out.  

As maladjusted as she is (Ha!) I sure do enjoy having her around:

And she patiently kept me company while we walked around the mall making returns and such.

I paid her in Godiva truffles.  She ate one in one mouthful.  

Which filled me with momentary regret and prompted me to call out: 

"There goes $2.20 down the hatch!" 

I exchanged a coat I got for Christmas for this coat which I kind of LOVE:

I am never going to stop loving you turquoise and magenta!! We've been Best Friends for over 30 years and I swear to God I'll never quit you!!

(It is turquoise in real life, just take me word for it.)

Then we scored some basketball shoes for Kid.
Interesting that they only make boy's shoes.  

Baby will never EVER go for that.  Basketball is out for her, for sure.

You may not know this, but I'm not really a big shopper
(exception: Target) 

and Kid & I were worn OUT. 

We weren't even at it for 2 hours.  

After picking up Baby, I did still manage to squeeze in my workout... 

(it was close... I REALLY didn't want to... and I had managed to hurt not one, but two fingers, on opposite hands, within 10 seconds of each other while trying to get out of the car?!  

It was weird and blood & bandages were involved)

 I even managed an extra 5 minutes on the treadmill to make up for little Miss Distraction:

I don't know how rollerskating with a giant dust mop all around the treadmill would bother me?  

At least she has a helmet on & is kind of cleaning.

This is all extremely reminiscent of this get up, is it not?:

It is good to know she hasn't changed her spots too much.

(P.S. 14th consecutive workout, I'm really doing it, peeps.)

 And then we attended Baby's curriculum night
(which I had almost forgotten about!!!!) 

and caught this cute moment between Baby and her best friend:

 Dinner was scraped 

but not my diet! 

(hence the bizarro dinner choices) 

and Mr F took the kids out for pizza.  

The End.
