Happy Birthday to me!

I woke up this morning to Peyton asking for cartoons. She just can't find them. Which is crazy because any other time of the day, she knows how to work the TV, DVD, CD, MP3, dishwasher, vacuum...everything. She just has some kind of block at 7 in the morning I guess. So I didn't get to sleep in as I had hoped! Kalee woke up shortly after and walked out in her footy pajamas. She had them unzipped so she could pat her belly. She loves her belly!
~~~~~~
After I reminded Peyton that it was my birthday, she ran to find me the present that Grandma had sent. She whispered that it was scrap booking stuff, but I didn't know! So she and Kalee helped me open. They were both very proud of all the things in the bag! I loved it all! They even made me the best birthday cards! Thanks Grandma!! Matt and I went to see Gran Torino last night. It was pretty good. Then we went out to eat at Los Agaves. I had a yummy strawberry margarita...be jealous Meg, be very jealous! I guess that is probably about the extent of my birthday celebration. Unless Matt surprises me...I am not holding my breath. You know, before we got married he was always so thoughtful, even romantic (if you can imagine Matt being romantic!), buying me flowers all the time, doing fun stuff like that. Then we got married... Then Goober started dating and I realized that maybe it was Debbie who was so thoughtful. She swears it was all him, but I am not sure I'm convinced! I guess I shouldn't complain...I love him anyway, flowers or not! I am especially aware of just how much I love him after this weekend and Cody's death.
~~~~~~
Unfortunately, today will be a pretty sad one for us. We are going to go to Cody's visitation. His funeral is tomorrow. He is a friend of ours who was killed in a car accident Friday morning. I really can't wrap my mind around the fact that he is gone. What a nightmare. He and his wife have a young son, younger than Kalee. He was in the accident also, but will be OK. He will be missed.
~~~~~~
Well, we are off to the mall. I have nothing suitable to wear to a funeral, so I need to go get some pants or something. Also need to go get Kalee's last week of medicine. Hopefully she and Peyton will get all better so we can all go see Lily Bug!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
