Wednesday last week Avery and I made a trip to the bank with her half full piggy. The lady working at the counter knows me fairly well, (as I have to go inside to do everything because my window doesn't work!), and she let Avery watch the piggy get emptied into the coin counter in their back room. She had $17.40 and she was very excited to have cash. We went to ToysRus where she had a hard time deciding what she wanted, but she ended up with a new Snap N Style doll named Brianna Lynn who is a princess, and a Littlest Pet Shop panda. We were pretty happy to see the dolls back in stock because I haven't been able to find them forever, and she loves them!
Yesterday I went shopping for easter egg hunt supplies. That stuffs not cheap I tell ya! But Walmart had decent prices and I got most of it there. I'm going to Lutsen with some friends over Easter weekend so we're having the hunt on the Monday after with Cece and Tierney. It should be fun! I'll post pictures.

Pet Peeve
I bought a new pair of khakis today at JC Penney's and to my severe annoyance when I got home and was cutting tags off I discovered the ink tag still remained on them. Now I have to drive back and get them to take it off. This is one of my major pet peeves. I guess I should have looked to see if it had one, but isn't that kind of the cashiers job? Ugh.
It doesn't help that I'm just tired and crabby from a poor nights sleep. My dogs were restless, and I had a hard time falling a sleep, then my brother got into town at about 4 am, thus they went nuts. My mom let them out (which I didn't know at the time) and they were still whining and pitching a fit so I let them out (again). After that they settled down but I was awake. I finally get back to sleep and some time around 7 my mom came in to get my laptop for directions to the courthouse. So I'm awake again. Arg.
Apparently Avery had a bloody nose last night, but I didn't hear her wake up because she was sleeping in the guest bedroom at the time. She gets them every now and then, luckily not as much as I do. She pretty much slept the entire day away yesterday as her cold took hold. She was pretty miserable and wouldn't eat or drink. Thankfully today she's doing better. Is it summer yet?

Still Chilly Out
So this morning I had the pleasure of standing in my garage with the dogs in my pajamas and fleece crocs. Tim had taken one of the spare keys when he brought Avery home Thursday while I was at school and hadn't given it back, and the other spare key was not where I thought it was so I was stuck. Luckily the crappy old rotary phone with the broken in half handset let me dial and I called Tim for him to drive the key over. Even though I was only out there for a few minutes it was cold! If you don't turn the doorknob just right after you unlock it, it just locks again and thats what happened. Avery was inside watching cartoons on the couch half asleep. So onward with my fun week!
I did laundry pretty much all day, and Avery and I watched part of Fox and the Hound while I walked on the treadmill. We went to Joanne Fabrics to get a pillow form for the fleece tie pillow thing Avery had gotten with Robin on Friday. The pillow form costs more than fleece precut thing! Then we went to McDonalds (always a bad choice but Avery wanted to) then came home and cut the fleece and made the pillow. There is also fabric for a Little Mermaid blanket, but that one I haven't attempted yet. Pictures are up of the pillow.
As for yesterdays sickness, it was over as quickly as it started. She's been fine all day, eating and drinking and not feeling sick. So it must have been something she ate, but Robin had all the same things and wasn't sick except for this strawberry milk. Things were uhmm...pink last night so I'm thinking maybe that just upset her stomach? I dumped it all just in case it was bad somehow even though it smelled normal. Oh well! At least its not the flu. And thats it for today.

A tough week
So while my parents are soaking up the sun in Mexico I'm stuck here all week which is turning out to be a doozy. Lets see...
Tuesday: I woke up in the morning unable to lay on my left side- as my ear hurt too much. It wasn't too horrible, but I thought perhaps an ear infection was brewing. I had class that night (so I thought) and didn't make an appointment for it as I didn't think I would have time to go. Turns out I didn't have my first night class so I went to the urgent care and found out I had an infection in the canal of my ear. Which is better than the inner ear, but still painful. So I got some medicine for that and it has been clearing up. I thought that both night classes were canceled for our "Student Success Day" but that was untrue. It was only the first one, and I missed review and a test in my Spanish class.
Thursday: Ran on very little sleep, as Avery kept me up from about midnight to 2am, not wanting to sleep. Long day, very glad to get some rest at the end of the night.
Today: Very annoyed with co-worker who tends to think she is my boss and doesn't listen to the opinions of mine that she asks for. I went to the library after work to return a book and bumped someone in the parking lot. No harm was done, and I'm not entirely sure it was my fault as I was looking when backing up because I know that people are nutjobs in that parking lot. But the lady insisted it was my fault and I gave her my insurance and got out of there.
Then I was supposed to dye my hair but Tim went to a movie and didn't feel like telling me when it got done as was planned. Whatever I wasn't in the mood anyway.
Avery got home around 9 and was crying because she was woken up when getting out of the car. She fell asleep on the couch with the exception of crying when I put on her pajamas. When I woke her up to put her in my bed she said her tummy hurt, and I thought it was because she hadn't gotten her Miralax for the last day. She proceeded to get sick all over herself and the bed.
She hasn't thrown up since she was a baby, so she was absolutely hysterical. I cleaned her up as fast as I could and got clean pajamas on her and put her back to sleep on the couch. I threw everything in the wash (including a very messy bear) and its all going right now. I'm tired, but I want to get all the laundry washed because I don't want it to sit there and smell. So here I am!
Too bad I'm not in Cancun. *sigh*
