Oh the tears!

In an effort to get Miss E to bed early so she'll wake early for daycare, I put her down at 7:30 last night...instead of 8. Well, it didn't quite work how I planned. You'd think having her sleep in would be a good thing. Not so much when I'm trying to head out the door at 10 to 7. This morning, I had to wake her at 20 to 7, having made her breakfast and packed it up so she could have it at daycare. Well, she cried at being woken up, and all through getting dressed. But the water works REALLY took off when the kitchen light was off and she realized she wouldn't bet getting in her high chair for breakfast. She plunked her but down in the doorway, clutching her blanky and cried. I felt TERRIBLE! But I knew she would be fine once she got to daycare and had her cereal. I tried to explain to her what we were doing but she didn't calm down till after we were in the van and on the way. When I set her up at daycare with her breakfast, all was right in her world. Which made mama real happy. :)

After that whole ordeal, I got my butt into Curves for my work out...half asleep I might add. It's my own damn fault. Hil lent me Season 1 of Grey's Anatomy and I stayed up late watching episodes 2-4. Man, it's good. And boy, do I ever love watching it on DVD. No commercials (yes, I realize it's my business) and you get to follow the story better than waiting a week for the next episode. Tonight I MAY be going out but if not, I think I'll continue watching and get 3 episodes in...maybe 2 so I won't be up so late. :) Anyway, we'll see.

Not much new at home. DH had school last night for his apprenticeship. He had 2 tests he studied for all day. He got 100% on the chapter test and 96% on the "big" test. DH was not what you'd call a great student in school. It's not that he's stupid, he's just lazy. But now that he's doing something that interests him, his marks are stellar!! Thursday night's his big induction night in the union. Thank goodness because he's been off work nearly 2 weeks. As a union member, he'll be able to bump someone to get back to work. Yeah, it sucks for that person but that's what the union is for...protection. It's not like he hasn't had his share of layoffs. He worked for 1 week in November of 05 and wasn't back to work again till mid January 06. Anyway, we're really excited. We need him back to work. We've got a mortgage to pay and daycare. Thank goodness for dear MIL whose helping out with groceries. Hopefully this will be the last rough patch for a while.

Well, I must be off. Just wanted to check in. Oh, one more thing. My folks may be visiting in February. So excited to see them and for them to see E. Should be really fun!!
