Me Day

Chris took G to his Mom's on Saturday for her birthday. What did I do? I stayed home - it was awesome!

I totally needed the break after staying home 5 straight days with sick and cranky fussy butt. (so sorry all you stay at home all the time moms)

This is what I did with my much needed break. After I was finished dancing around the house like a madman.

I made this giraffe looking thing I saw here

The giraffe turned out so well I thought I would totally make a monster. Um. I suck at curves on my sewing machine. My husband laughed at it a LOT. And several FB pals took turns giving it a nickname.
I got a much needed pedicure with my gift certificate I received for my birthday - in February. The spa girl was a little zealous in one spot with the salts. I think she was getting revenge for my non-shaving.
And my sister treated me to dinner after.


I had so much energy not wasted on Toddler Wrangling that I even got a wild hair to organize the office/scrapbook room.







Looks awesome right?

wow! a comment removed by the author. I wonder what snarky comment I would have to make to get that to happen. And, fyi, that's how I organize too.

Katherine said...

Hahahaha! Love your organization skills...so up my alley!

That monster is pretty scary, which is what a monster should be, so I'd say it's a SUCCESS!

Love the giraffe...super cute.

So glad you got to enjoy a home a lone, especially after staying home with a sick baby all week! I actually had someone once tell me how jealous they were that all these "parents" get to stay home with their "sick kids." Um...yeah, because THAT'S fun!

Melissa said...

Loved it! And in your photos, looks like the monster may have a pedi raw spot similar to yours! Ouch!
