Sunday, 30 November

Got up, feeling really rested. Headed to the gym, got a good workout in, came home and got showered, Olivia was up with Kurt so made them breakfast and then we all kind of hung out for a bit while watching a movie. We then headed out to run some errands, had to go up to Pronto, then went to Target, Best Buy, and the grocery store. Getting all my supplies to make Christmas cookies.. now I just have to start baking. I think I will do it next week - I'm so full of sweets right now that the temptation to just eat all the dough may be to high. So we did the errands and came home. Olivia took a nap, so finished getting the soup made - it's really good, nice and tastey. We had soup and crackers, Olivia got up a little bit later so fed her dinner. Kurt had to go to work so while he was gone, I did some ironing and then cleaned out the laundry room and the downstairs bedroom. Such a mess but got it all straightened out. The rest of the night just hung out with Olivia.

Saturday, 29 November

Slept pretty good, Olivia slept all night and didn't wake up until after I did which was really nice. All the playing yesterday/swimming just knocked her out completely. So got up, got Kurt and Olivia up and we all went to get breakfast. Olivia loved her oatmeal, I have biscuits and gravy. Good stuff. Lots of coffee too. After breakfast, went back to the room, got showered, got Olivia bathed and dressed for Christmas pictures. Olivia got the cutest dress from Mom Stanley. So got her all ready (forgot stuff at the house) so had to run and get her new tights and Kurt got her new headbands. She looked so cute. Got the pictures taken, really cute. After that, headed over to Brenda and Mark's house. Had more breakfast (I love the holidays). Hung out for a bit but then had to leave so Kurt could get home and relax for a bit before going to work. We stopped at the outlet mall on the way home. Got a few things but probably going to take them back. After getting home, Olivia took a nap and so did we. We watched a movie, slept for a bit. I then started making Soup (Turkey Rice) with the leftovers. Kurt headed to work and I cleaned up, did laundry and went to the grocery store. It was a nice relaxing evening. Only a few more days off, it's been a nice vacation.

Friday, 28 November

So I didn't get up early this year and go shopping, didn't see much that I wanted to get in the ads. So slept in, then we all got up and had some left over quieches and bacon. It was delicious. Got Olivia showered and dressed then got ready myself. We all headed out then to Hartland to visit the family. On the way there, we stopped at Meijer - lucky for us, the only deal that I wanted to get was there and they still had some of the V-Tech motion games available. Sweet. So got a few things there then we continued on to Mark/Brenda's house. Got there around 11:30 or so. So many people were ther - I think I heard there was 47 people from the family over. We hung out and chatted, played cards, I hung out with the kids, then we had to leave to go check into the hotel. They had a pool, so while Kurt rested - I took Olivia swimming. She did so good, she jumped into the pool and even went under water. She loved it. We swam for about 1/2 hour then everyone left to get cleaned up and to head back to the house. We then ate dinner, had the gift exchange and after that - we played cards. It was a really fun day. Really enjoyed myself.

Thursday, 27 November

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! It was a great day - it ended up being an almost perfect holiday. I got up early and started making breakfast for the family. I ordered quieche, but made eggs, bacon, waffles, muffins, juice, had stuff for toast. I had a fruit platter, cheese/crackers and chips/salsa platters too. Everyone showed up around 11:30, so we ate and got to hang out. It was such a nice time, we played wii, chatted, hung out, such a nice day. Shon, Tracy, Hudson and Ivy had to leave around 3:00 and around 4:30 or so we had the big Turkey dinner. Turkey, Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, sweet potatoes and lots of good desserts. The pumpkin pie was really good. After dinner, cleaned up and then my parents had to head home. We ran to Kmart for a few things then came home and cleaned up and got stuff ready for when some of our friends came over. Paul, Chris, Mark, John, Mike, Chris came over for drinks and appetizers. It was such a great day.

Wednesday, 26 November

So got up early, got Olivia packed for Grandma's house and then got her up/dressed/fed. We headed to my parent's house - stopped for coffee on the way, ahhh - Tim Hortons. I hung out with them for a bit then headed home. I got lots of hugs and kisses from Olivia before I left. I got back home and got Kurt up. We went and saw the movie "Twilight" - I haven't seen a movie in a while so it was a really nice treat. We got popcorn and I must have had 2 big bags of it myself. So after the movie, we got some lunch and then ran to the mall for a bit. Did a little shopping at Macy's then headed home. Kurt had to work so he got ready for that. I got cleaned up and met up with Michael and Barry at Pronto. It was such a fun night, so many people were out at the bar. Saw Mark and John there, Paul, Chris, Joel, pretty everyone I knew was out. So it was a really fun night. Stayed out pretty late. Got home around 2:00 or so, and pretty much crashed.

Tuesday, 25 November

Week is going by so fast, not really doing anything during my vacation but enjoying "not doing anything". Work has me so stressed out lately, just not really happy at the office but dealing with it. I just keep hoping things get better with the economy - right now, everything is so micromanaged and all of the freedoms we had are gone. I'm done complaining. Still enjoying my time off. Today, trying to get some major cleaning done before the holidays. I also finished getting the rest of the decorations up. It looks so nice. Okay so cleaned, did some prep cooking and by the evening time I was exhausted. Luckily, Olivia is such an amazing little girl, she was so good - she played while I cooked. So fed her dinner and then the two of us just hung out all night. A really great evening with my little girl.

Monday, 24 November

First day of my vacation, slept in - that's what vacation is all about. I got up eventually, had some coffee and by then Olivia was up. Got her cleaned up, fed and then we played for about 3 1/2 hours. By then, Kurt got up - so we all had lunch and then we went to Home Depot, got a few things for projects we were working on. Not really much to mention today - pretty uneventful. After getting home - we relaxed for a while before Kurt had to go to work. I went out for coffee with a friend, it was nice getting out for a bit. Olivia was with us, she was so well behaved. We stopped at the bookstore afterwards, got Olivia a new book. Anything that lights up or makes nose, she loves. Got home and it was time for her to go to bed so put her in pajamas and she was out cold within a few minutes. After that, watched Heroes then tried doing an arm workout.

Sunday, 23 November

Sunday, slept in - almost 8 am... The animals woke me up so got up, fed the dogs/cats, made coffee, watched a little TV, it was a pretty good morning. I was freezing though - so cold downstairs. After getting Olivia up, we played with her blocks and read books. We then went grocery shopping. Olivia was funny, she kept dozing off while in the cart. Came home and I made breakfast for all three of us, it was so good - delicious, made quieche. The house smelled like bacon. So we ate then Kurt got showered, we all three headed up to Pronto - had to take some pictures. Chatted with Marleen, got some things from the store. The day was filled with cooking and cleaning. I'm so boring. I baked cookies and brownies, I'm so bad - I have to stop baking/cooking desserts. I eat to many bad things. It was another good day filled with sweets.

Saturday, 22 November

Vacation has finally started - I'm in such a good mood. Got up, had about a whole pot of coffee, did some reading, ordered a few things online for Christmas, watched "The Hills" and "Heroes"...such a great morning. After that, Olivia got up so changed her, fed her oatmeal and then got her dressed. Went to the gym, worked out, then we came home. By then, Kurt was up so I got cleaned up and we all went out for breakfast. It was such a great morning. After eating, we ran a few errands and then relaxed the rest of the afternoon. Kurt had to work so I hung out with Michael and Dan, we went out to dinner and then watched a movie. Nice relaxing evening. After the boys left, I put Olivia to bed and then I cleaned up the family room. It was another good day.

Friday, 21 November

It's so nice that it's the Friday before a long vacation. Today went by pretty fast, got up and got Olivia up/fed/dressed then got showered and dressed and headed out. Dropped off Olivia and then got to work - it was a fast day. I think just because I had so much to do and I had to get it done before the break. At lunch, went to the gym - I may switch gym's... it's just a pain getting there and with not being able to go in the morning anymore, I'm just rethinking the whole Bally's thing. There is a 24 hour gym by the house... I will look into that. After work, got home - Olivia was home already so I got her cleaned up, Kurt left for work and I took Olivia out to the store. Had to get a few things at the grocery store. After that, made dinner and fed her. After that, we had the best evening playing and climbing up and down the stairs. We watched a movie - then it was time for her to go to bed. After putting her down, I got onto facebook for a bit, then finished the laundry. I then went to bed early. It was nice.

Thursday, 20 November

Almost through the week..... So looking forward to a little time off. Got up, got ready then got Olivia up. Drank a lot of coffee, Kurt got some new creamer that is delicious. So got to work, little fidgety today with what is going to happen with the "Automotive loan". I hope it goes through, so many people will loose their jobs if it doesn't. So work was good anyway - busy. At lunch, I did a little more Christmas shopping, I think I'm done with Olivia now. I'm really early this year. After work, got home - Kurt got Olivia so came straight home. Olivia was in really good spirits, she was dancing around. So cute. SO we danced for a while. There was a limo at the house when I got home, it was for Kurt. He was being picked up for the Tina Turner concert. So he left as soon as I got home. Olivia and I had a great night, lots of fun stuff. We went to the store and got some stuff for the animals, got Olivia a new book and then headed home. I made her dinner and fed her then gave her a bath. We got her a new bath toy that makes bubbles and plays music - she loved it. Well, I think she loved splashing water at it more than anything. So got her in pajamas and then we played with her Little Einstein Music Blocks. We read about 5 books and then it was time for her to go to bed. She fell asleep pretty fast. I then did some laundry and got onto facebook for a bit. It was a good evening, watch Wall-E again (couldn't figure out how to turn the regular tv on last night).

Wednesday, 19 November

Still floating from last nights concert - what a show. So got up (only a couple hours of sleep).. I may have been half awake when I got ready, I forgot Olivia's lotion in her diaper bag, my cell phone and a lunch... So got Olivia dropped off and then got to work, a little later than normal but still on time. Work was good, busy - didn't get away from my desk until lunch. Ran some errands and picked up stuff for dinner. Finished my day and headed home. Kurt got Olivia so I got home and started getting dinner ready. Made dinner and cleaned up a little bit. We ate dinner, watched a really cute movie "Wall-E", very cute. We then just hung out - family time. Gave Olivia her bath and then put her to bed. She must have been tired because she went to bed without any fuss. After that, cleaned up downstairs then fixed Kurt's ipod. After that, got stuff ready for Thursday then went to bed. I was tired.

Tuesday, 18 November

Okay, so today was so awesome... I can't even put it into words.. Well, I can - but it will be difficult. First of all, the regular day was okay, blah blah - same old stuff, but I get a call from my friend Michael that the person he was suppose to go with to Madonna basically backed out - so he had a free ticket. I was like Hell(o) yes! So luckily, Chelsea (Patron Saint of babysitters) said she could watch Olivia. (Thanks again Chelsea). So got home, got some stuff done for the next day, fed Olivia, changed, stuff like that then I headed over to Mike and Dan's house. Joel and Johnny got there and we all headed out to Ford Field. We arrived, parked pretty close to the arena and got in. While in line, channel two was there and interviewed a friend of mine - I happened to be in the background, so I was on TV last night. :) Here is a link to the clip That was fun. So we get inside, I got a program - and a pretzel. Then we walked around for a bit, met up with Kerrin and a couple of his friends. It was such an amazing stage setup. Oh, ran into a ton of people I knew... Jack & Pete, Joe, Tom, Steve, Jeff & Jonathan, Tall Eric, Richard & Joe... lots more, I was surprised how many people I ran into there. SO concert was amazing, Madonna does a great show. I got a bunch of pictures (I will post the link to the left). The concert went to about 11:30 and we got home around 12:30... such an awesome night. SO happy I went. Thanks again Mike.

Monday, 17 November

Just one week to get through and then a nice long vacation... Got up and got ready, then got Olivia up and ready, got Tim Horton's coffee on the way to daycare. Yum. Got her dropped off and then off to work. Today was a little better than it was last week. The morning went by pretty quick so no complaints there. At lunch, got a decent cardio in then finished up my day at work. After work, got home, got Olivia cleaned up and then picked up Michael. We went to the gym. Did a chest workout - it was pretty good. After that, got her home and made her dinner. Fed her, got her in pajamas and then we played for about an hour. Then it was time to put her to bed. After that, I got some stuff done around the house and then pretty much that was it for the night.

Sunday, 16 November

Did sleep in this morning, that was nice. Didn't get up till 8:00 am or so - Would have slept in later but Finnegan had gotten between the bed and the wall - and was stuck. So "Meow, Meow, Meon" eventually I just got up and got him out, then fed the animals. Did some laundry and got showered. Kurt got up and at noon, my mom came over with Olivia. We all went out to lunch then. Food was good but took like an hour for them to make it. So starving.... Ate everything. Olivia did okay, got a little fussy for a bit. After lunch, we went to Target - got a few things there then came home. Kurt worked on the upstairs decorations while I made cupcakes. Olivia played in the kitchen with me. Kurt then headed to work and I cleaned up, make dinner for Olivia and then gave her a bath. I was exhausted so I got her ready for bed early and put her down for the night. I think I was in bed by 7:30 and was asleep before 8:15. It was so nice getting so much sleep.. I really needed it.

Saturday, 15 November

Thought Olivia was going to sleep in a bit, but unfortunately - she was up by 6:00 am. So got up and fed the animals and Olivia. She had banana and oatmeal. She was happy about that. After breakfast, gave her a bath then got her dressed. We then ran to the Toys R Us. Had to get a few things there. They had a big sale going on - so doing a little more Christmas shopping. Finished up there and came home. Got Kurt up and then shortly after that we had to drop Olivia off at my parent's house. She was spending the night with grandma. So dropped her off and then met up with Chris and Paul at P.F. Changs for lunch. It was really nice, free lunch (Chris works there and they were doing some training). After lunch, we went to the mall next door - got Olivia a Holiday dress, really cute - Red Velvet with a black bow. We then came home (It started snowing). Rested for a bit but then had to get ready to meet up with friends at Mike and Dan's house. We met up with Mike, Dan, Kerrin, Joel, Michelle, Mark, John, Erica, Dee and Shawn. We then all headed out to the Fisher to see Avenue Q. Okay, I have to admit - it totally sucked. None of us enjoyed the show... oh well - it was fun going out though. After the show, we all went up to Pronto. It was a fun time there - had a couple of drinks and hung out. Left around 1:00 am or so. Fun Night.

Friday, 14 November

It's Friday. So happy it's almost the weekend. Got up and ended up having to get up Olivia right away (she woke up early). Got her cleaned up and dressed, fed her and then got showered/ dressed. Dropped her off at Daycare and got to work (Stopped for Tim Hortons on the way - my favorite). Work has been a little depressing, nothing bad - just not use to people being so negative at work. I think people are just scared and some are a little more vocal then others.. Anyway - just really looking forward to the weekend. At lunchtime, I picked up a few gifts at the store. Finished my day and then picked up Olivia. Got her home - Kurt was working on decorating the upstairs. It's looking really good. After he left for work, I fed Olivia dinner and then gave her a bath. I kept her up a little later than usually hoping she would sleep in. So we played until 9:30 then I put her to bed. After that, I got a few things done around the house then went to bed. I did watch Wanda Sykes stand up (She is so funny, Love her).

Thursday, 13 November

I will be so glad when this week is over. It's been a rough week, getting over being sick, having so much going on at home, being busy with the house, Olivia, animals... plus having so much to do in the evening... just a tough week. I'm really looking forward to the weekend. I feel bad that last night and tonight I didn't get much of a chance to spend with my little girl. The Santa event went really well last night and I'm sure it will go well again tonight. Pictures should be available this weekend for it. Work good, well - okay, I think people are just constantly on edge with everything going on with the economy - job security is just not there anymore - so it's been a little tougher at work. I'm just hoping things get better soon. At lunch - I did a good cardio, feel good about that - still starving myself... but soon as the Santa thing is done tonight, I'm going to pig out. After work, I rushed home - Kurt had picked up Olivia so I gave her a bath (missed getting one yesterday) then got her in Pajamas. Started feeding her a snack and by then Julia was over to watch her. I had to head out to Rochester. Got there a little early, traffic wasn't too bad, so got there - ended up going to CVS first and got a few things. Got to Bordines - got on my "Sexy Santa" outfit and they started the event. There were about 400 women this time - it was fun and I had a great time with the ladies. Had lots of pictures taken, hopefully my eye wrinkles didn't show too bad. The event went till 9, immediately after that - I left (got a Whopper Jr.) - it was delicious. Got home, dropped off Olivia and went to bed.

Wednesday, 12 November

It turned out being a really nice day. Got up with Olivia and we played for a while - she was in good spirits. Got ready and got her ready, stopped for Tim Horton's coffee on the way to daycare. Yum. After dropping her off, got to work - it was an okay day. At lunch, got gas and an oil change. Needed that, was way over due. After work - came home - Kurt had picked up Olivia from Daycare but had to run out the door to go to work. I had about 20 minutes to get her cleaned up, pack her bag and get her to Jen's house. SO got her there and then headed to Bordine's Nursery in Brighton. It was crappy weather but made it there in time. So I was the "Sexy Santa" for their pre-holiday Woman's Night Out event. Yes, embarassing but it was a lot of fun. I had a great time and I got over the nervousness pretty quick. It was 300 women of all ages - and me in santa pants. After it was over, picked up Olivia and then got her home to bed. I was starving, didn't eat anything all day - so pigged out on some avacado dip and pita chips. After that, pretty much exhausted - went to bed.

Tuesday, 11 November

Got up and was planning on working out - but instead I folded the clothes from the dryer, put away the dishes from the dishwasher, ran a load of clothes, cleaned up a bit, took my time doing everything - it was nice having an hour to really just kind of wake up. Got ready and then got Olivia up and dressed. Fed her a banana (which she totally loves) and some milk then we headed off to daycare. Got into work early, busy day - lots to do. At lunch, did make it out to the gym and did some cardio. Finished my day and then picked up Olivia. We got home, I fed her a snack and then we raked leaves outside. Put away the last of the big potted plants in the garage. Made dinner, fed the animals and right about then - Kurt got home. SO we ate, it was okay. Then gave Olivia her bath - she was a mess, she is very determined to feed herself and let's just say more stuff went on her than in her mouth. I think she likes to finger paint because her face was covered in ketchup. So gave her a bath then got her in pajamas. It was Kurt's job to then play with her while I cleaned the rug/carpet in her room. Never ever get white/cream colored carpet again... not with kids. I think Kurt had more fun playing with the legos than Olivia did. So Kurt put her to bed and the rest of the night, we played some cards and then fell asleep.

Monday, 10 November

New week....Feeling so much better than last week. Got up and fed the animals, did an ab workout, got Olivia up and ready and we headed to daycare. Olivia just loves Mrs. Jamie. Dropped her off and got to work. It was a really busy day - happy about that. Stuff to do all day long, it just flew by. At lunch, did a shoulder workout and then back to work. After work, picked up Kurt then we both got Olivia from Daycare and from there went to costco. Picked up some pictures and a few other things. Got home, Kurt made dinner while I got Olivia bathed. Dinner was good but it gave me an upset stomach - I think I just ate too much. After dinner, cleaned up a bit and then we just hung out for a while. Olivia was having fun climbing over Kurt (he was laying on the ground) and then she would bring over all her books. She is still amazed with the tree.

Sunday, 9 November

Weekend went by fast.... too fast. Got up around 7:00 am or so - fed the animals, made some coffee and then got Olivia up (she was up already - talking to her big teddy bear). Fed her some breakfast and then got her cleaned up and dressed in her Christmas outfit. Took her downstairs to see the Christmas tree and then took lots of pictures. She loved the tree, she would walk up to it, touch an ornament or bulb then walk back. It was so cute watching how amazed she was with it. She then sat in my lap and just looked at it with me. It felt very special. She is so sweet. After taking the pictures, we had to run up to Pronto to take holiday pictures of the store, we got some muffins and coffee while we were there too. After that, came home - got Daddy Kurt up and we all hung out by the tree. I went to the gym for a bit came home, Kurt went to Target with Olivia while I was out. I then headed to the grocery store to get stuff to make Apple Pecan Cheese cake to take to M & D's house for dinner. Kurt made dinner for us all and it was so good. Kurt then left for work, I headed to the boys house for dinner. Olivia had already eaten so she just played there while we ate. It was a really nice time. Dinner was delicious (Lasagna). We had dinner and dessert - then I took Olivia home to bed. Pretty much just cleaned up a bit and then went to bed myself. Weekend is over.

Saturday, 8 November

Got up and I feel so much better. Got up around 5 am, Olivia got up and I actually felt good so I didn't mind getting up... plus I did go to bed at 7:30 last night. Fed her breakfast and then we read a few books. After that, gave her a bath - got her dressed and then we went and ran a few errands. Around 11:00 or so, I went to the gym with Michael - Olivia was asleep so she stayed with Kurt. We worked out and then met Kurt, Olivia & Dan for lunch at the mall. We got Olivia's Christmas outfit (gold dress) It's really cute. After lunch, I took Olivia home while Kurt/Mike went to the verizon store. Olivia and I had a great afternoon, we played outside for a bit then got out her blocks, played with her stuffed animals. Kurt got home and made some dinner - I didn't eat, wasn't quite up for food yet. He went to work and I spent the evening putting up the christmas tree downstairs. It took a while (Olivia was into everything) so after putting her to bed I was able to get the tree up and get the room cleaned. It looks really good I think. After that, pretty much went to bed - it was late.

Friday, 7 November

Not such a great day.... I have the flu and feeling horrible. Got up, thought I could go to work - so I showered, got dressed, got Olivia up and got her to daycare went to work and after being here for about 30 minutes, I was going to pass out. Came home, stopped at CVS on the way to get some meds. Bascially slept in bed all day. At one point, I decided to get up and try and rake the leaves but my head was so dizzy and I felt so nauseous that I had to go back to bed. At 4:30, I went and picked up Olivia, I stopped at the store and got chicken noodle soup on the way and some TheraFlu for Kurt. I felt even worse, the drive was horrible, being in the store was painful - but I got her home and then laid down for a bit. Kurt was feeling a little better so he watched Olivia for a bit. I got up and tried giving Olivia a bath but afterwards my head hurt so bad that I got sick again. Kurt ended up taking care of her for the rest of the night while I slept. I ended up going to bed around 7:30 and not getting up all night.

Thursday, 6 November

So far so good - it's been a much better morning than yesterday. Olivia is feeling much better and it must have been just a 24 hour thing. Dropped Olivia off at Daycare and got to work - it went by pretty fast.... lots to do. It's freezing in the office though, I have a heather but may go get another one. I hate being cold. At lunch, went to the gym - okay workout. Finished my day and then picked up Olivia. Had to stop at CVS to pick up some medication and a few other things then came home. Immediately got her cleaned up and then we left to go meet Peter for dinner. Ordered the lobster macaroni and cheese, it sounded good but unfortunately - Kurt and I both got the flu and during dinner is when we started to feel it. Kurt was working but ended up coming home. It was horrible, both of us taking turns getting sick. I was up pretty much the whole night, I would get sick then feel better, get sick then feel better. It was not fun.

Wednesday, 5 November

Today started out as a doozy.... Got up and fed the animals, made coffee, did a chest workout, showered, got dressed - then went and got Olivia up. I smelled something bad in her room, well - she had thrown up all over her bed and then she moved to the other side of her crib - resting on the material bumper (it's paded material that goes around the crib for protection). Well - it's made of polyester (which Olivia is very allergic too). So anyway, cleaned up the mess, gave her a bath, washed her hair and got her dressed. She seemed fine, her cheek was really red and a little bumpy from resting on the polyester... So she is dressed and then all of a sudden - like a gusher, she threw up all over herself. So got her cleaned up and dressed again, she started talking and playing. Luckily, Kurt had the night off before so he was able to stay with her. She got sick a few more times through out the day. I took a half day so Kurt coud do some errands. So on the way home from work I stopped and got Olivia some pedialite (and M & M's for Kurt...okay me). Olivia seemed to be much better. She wasn't eating or really drinking anything... but she did start feeling hungry around 1:30 or so - so fed her and she drank two sippy cups of juice. We then went outside and raked, she was much better. I went to the gym while Olivia was napping. Stopped at Costco for a few things on the way back. Got home, Kurt left for work - Olivia was up by then. The rest of the evening was very quiet - Olivia slept on my chest for a while - I fed her dinner and got her ready for bed. She was out early, she needed the sleep. I watched some TV but was in bed pretty early.

Tuesday, 4 November

I started doing my morning workout at home, going well - haven't had the urge to sleep in yet - hopefully I can fight that off. Got ready and then got Olivia up and dressed. She seems to like the extra sleep and she really likes daycare. So dropped her off and got to the office. My one PC was gone all day so it was a bit of a hastle - but got through the day. Did go to the gym at lunch, decent gym and not too far away. Not across the street like before but not too far away. After work, got Olivia - she had a great day. Then we went to the grocery store, bought stuff for dinner, then went and voted (Go Obama) - No line at all. Got home, fed the animals, then started dinner - I made chicken and vegetables on rice. I made a jerky sauce - it was really good. I cleaned up, living room, family room, Olivia's room and kitchen. Kurt worked during the day and he got home right around the time dinner was just about done. So we ate dinner, Olivia loved it. I then cleaned up the dishes and gave Olivia her bath. She got me soaking wet - she enjoys splashing me. Luckily I had changed before this. After that, got her in pajamas and it was time to read. Read 5 or 6 of her books and then gave her a little massage - and she was out cold. Put her to bed and pretty much did the same myself.

Monday, 3 November

Lots of changes today - got up at my regular time but did a Ab workout at home, got showered and then got Olivia up. I'm happy she is getting a little more sleep now. Got her fed and dressed, then got her up to daycare. It's really close, only 5 minutes from the house. Dropped her off then got to my new office. Only took about 12 minutes or so from the daycare. All of my stuff was in boxes so hooked up my computers and then got everything organzied. That took most of the morning. Some positives and some negatives - but so far so good. At lunch, I went to the new gym... but forgot my shorts so just checked the place out but didn't workout. Got back to work and finished my day. I'm here a little longer than I have been... so makes for a longer day. Got home, Kurt had picked up Olivia earlier in the day to take her to a doctors appointment. She was in good spirits. Kurt said she had a great time, they were playing with musical instruments when he went to pick her up and she didn't want to leave. That makes me happy. So got home and I made a coffee cup chocolate cake (got recipe from my dad). Then cleaned up the house. After that, gave Olivia a bath while Kurt made dinner. Everything was good, and Olivia fell asleep right after dinner.... she had a busy day. SO after that, basically just relaxed with Kurt until I fell asleep.....

Sunday, 2 November

Sunday - Ah... got so much sleep, it felt great. I went to bed so early last night and slept in too... it was great. I'm feeling stuffy still but it was nice getting extra sleep. SO got up and ironed some shirts for work, cleaned up the laundry room, got Olivia up and changed - after that, we read about 15 books. Her skin looks really good today, so very happy about that. Gave her a bath and she was happy playing in the water.... Kurt got up and we watched the Indiana Jones movie, it was good - I'm surprised how much I liked it. Olivia fell asleep in my arms while watching it - too cute. After lunch, Olivia and I went to the store and CVS, then to the YMCA - checked out the facility. Too expensive for what it is. After that, came home and decided to make Sweet Potato ravioli. It was okay, I didn't roll the dough thin enough so it was too thick. Besides that it was good. So cooked that then we went over to Mike and Dan's house for dinner, it was really good - thanks M and D. I brought the ravioli. After dinner, watched some tv then we left for home. Put Olivia to bed and then it was time for bed myself. Big day on Monday, new office, new daycare, new gym... yikes...

Saturday 1, November

Got up and fed the animals... had some coffee and cereal, got showered and then went and picked up Olivia. She had such a good time with Jen, Jake and Geo. She was running around with Jake, it was cute to see them chase each other around the house. She had a blast. Brought her home and then gave her a bath, got her dressed and we then went outside for a bit. It was a more of a relaxing day then anything else. After that, I went and got some movies at Blockbuster, Indiana Jones, Hulk and another one I can't remember though. Watched a movie and then made some dinner. Kurt had to work so for most of the evening, Olivia and I read books, played with her blocks and then went to bed early. We were both exhausted.
