There are good days and bad days

This last week I've had quite a mixture of good and bad days. Fortunately today was a good day!

I got up "early" with the kids, which hasn't happened a lot lately. James usually gets up with them. Today he had class and clients so I got up at 8 ish. I fed the kids and then Lizzie went back to sleep for an hour while I got ready. Then my Visiting Teacher came over and we chatted and what not and it was nice. Then the kids and I went outside for awhile and played with some neighbors and I got to chat. That was nice! By the time we got inside it was time for lunch and naps. Lizzie went down with out a peep and Edin actually fell asleep in his bed. (He usually comes to the door and cries for awhile and then falls asleep there.) Edin slept for an hour and a half and Lizzie slept for an amazing TWO HOURS! I couldn't believe it. This was only one of a few real naps Edin has taken since we took the Binky away. That alone would have made today Awesome.

But it did get better because my good friend Lauren came over and hung out with me. We chit-chatted while I cleaned the house. Yeah baby! Then when the kids woke up we went to Plato's closet, a used clothing store that carries nice brands. I finally earned my jeans. I've been saving my points for almost two months now. When Lauren suggested we got to Plato's I thought for sure they would have some Silver jeans for cheap. They had only two pairs in my size and they were long and all wrong.

To make a long story short, we came back later, didn't find anything at Plato's and headed to Buckle, where I was reunited with my fit-like-a-glove jeans which bring me pure joy. They are Silver Jeans, aiko boot-cut

(Not my actual butt in the jeans)

It turns out they were a little too short and when purchasing $72 jeans, you want them to be perfect! I had to special order the jeans, which cost me five extra buckaroos but they are coming to my door in 8 days. Holla! And I can return them for a full refund if they turn out to be different or something wacko happens.

So I spent all my money but it is freakin' worth it. After we got home from shopping, my cute kids took a bath and ate dinner and they were both so cute it made me sick! They both ate and loved dill pickles. It's so odd that my one year old likes pickles but whatev. I can't complain! I forgot to mention that Lauren and I got some free candy at a sweets shop in the mall because we had a connection. I had amaretto chocolate fudge and died. Holla! I think the only thing that would have really put this day over the top would have been eating out. Mac & Cheese for lunch was pretty "average day" ish but still all right.

Also I got to see my good friend Brittany and her kids. Edin is tight with her son Dash.

AND! I have a wonderful FREE night's stay at the Best Western hotel in Park City, UT. Thank you James for putting your name in that cup and winning!! We're staying in the hot tub suite and SWEET it is. Our good friends from way back when are coming and it is going to rock. A night with out the kids. Wow. What's that like? I can't remember. It's been almost two years.
