7/13- Friday the Thirteenth!!!!

Well...It's Friday night, I have had my glass of wine and I am watching Dateline... alone. I use to think that my "social" life was the lamest one around, but from talking with my other friends, I am starting to realize that I am quite normal. In fact, when you get married, have kids and even add a puppy to the mix, your social experiences become limited. (Maybe I will write this on Wedding cards?) It use to not be as bad cause, we would take Reagan to the "Grandmas" house and we would be free. Now we have Molly and no one wants to watch Reagan AND Molly, so we have to be here or come back early! Oh well...at least right now I feel somewhat social with my glass of wine (even if I am alone)!

Last night was pretty rough. I knew that it might be when I heard Reagan first squeak at around 10pm. She cried a bit again at 2:30 and really started wailing around 4. I got up with her and she had a bit of a fever (from the shots). I gave her some Advil and we slept on the couch till Tony got up with Molly. Now, Tony and I are not  "Family" sleepers. I would never bring Reagan into the bed with Tony and I cause I would not want him to squish her. Plus I really don't sleep that well when she is in there, cause I get nervous that I will squish her. However, at this moment, I was enjoying the snuggle time, cause she was not feeling well and I "knew" that she just wanted her Mommy. I was "right" cause her and I slept till 8:20 when I finally woke her up.

Nothing like a stick and a Popsicle on a hot day!

After breakfast, Reagan and I had a playdate with my favorite stay at home mom, Kelli. As always, I am blown away by her calmness. Her daughter is 2 1/2 and it is interesting to see what Reagan will be like in about a year. It is amazing to see how much they are like "little" people with their own personalities.

After lunch, nap and another dose of Advil (poor baby), Reagan and I headed to a short shopping trip to find some shoes for the wedding. We went to Burlington Coat Factory and Target. BCF didn't have shoes but we found a fabulous Rehearsal dinner dress for her for only $7.99. We then stopped by Target and found her some shoes. A little more than I wanted to spend, but she will defiantly use them again. While we were there, Reagan was cracking up and waving to everyone like she was the Queen (even if they didn't wave back); We also got Daddy some PopTarts and Diet Coke (something that he had been craving since our "budget" cutsl and I took away his $20 a week).

After we go home, Tony had to stop at the store to get some Pedialite for his "Night Out" for his Future Brother In Laws Bachelor Party. (We will see if this "miracle" works for him too?). Then Grandma Baba came over for dinner. Normally, we ALL go over to my Mom's and she makes some wonderful meal for us to enjoy, but since Tony wasn't home, I decided to try a Pinterest Recipe with her ( I am sure she was thinking "Oh great?? :-/.  I made Pizza Biskets, sweet potato fries and corn. Surprisingly, she really enjoyed them and EVEN asked for more (WOW)! We then took a nice long walk to get Molly's energy out.


After Grandma left, and Reagan went to sleep, it was just Molly and I. Molly is what the "Puppies for Dummies" book call Adolescent Stage. This basically means that she is a major B when she gets in her mood. Her and I got into another tiff whens he felt that she wanted to jump on the couch. Now... eventually, we will let her go on the couch (cause we like to cuddle), but not till she understands that WE are the boss (and she stops freaking leaking).  Eventually, I won after some "dominating" and a "time out".
