After work
yesterday, I ran some errands. I was 25 minutes later than usual to daycare,
but it doesn’t happen often and I’m sure Emerson didn’t even notice. I need to
pick up some peeps and a foam wreath to make an Easter peep’s wreath for my
front door. So far, it’s turning out nicely. I was using toothpicks to hold the
peeps in place, but I’m aborting that plan and heading to my glue gun instead.
The toothpicks were killing my fingers. I need more security to hold them into
place anyway. Plus, I don’t like that it puts a hole in the Peep. I’ll post a
photo when it’s done. I probably won’t finish it until later in the week, but
it’s starting out really cute. I’m excited about it!
Anyway, when we got
home, I opened up the back and front door. I locked the front door’s screen
just in case Kodie decided to push on it hard if someone walked, or drove by.
She’s very high energy. If anyone even drives down our street she goes nuts. It
was nice to open the windows and to get some fresh air in the house. The
weather was so beautiful. I made chicken ranch quesadillas, sweet potato fries,
and corn for dinner. It was so yummy!! Tonight, my meal planner says we’re
having grilled chicken, pasta, and garlic bread. Sounds good to me. I’ve been
meal planning prior to grocery shopping and then looking at the meal planner
that I made every day to know what I’m making for dinner. It has been really
nice to not have to think about what we’re having. Dinner time is really
important to me. I want Emerson to feel a sense of family and structure.
Cooking and having dinner on the table every night makes me happy. Plus, we get
to sit down together. I know he mostly just babbles now, but I’m hoping when he
can talk he wants to tell me all about his day. Anyway, I’ve been looking on
Pinterest for some different recipes too. It’s always nice to switch it up and
to give Emerson a little variety. I think I’m doing fairly well!
After I was done
eating, I let Emerson finish up. I did the dishes, wiped the table down, and
cleaned up the house a bit. I feel bad doing that sometimes. He’s still eating
and I’m running around, but if I don’t do it, it won’t get done. I hate going
to bed with dirty dishes in the sink. It just creates more work for me the next
day. Anyway, after I cleaned up and Emerson was done with dinner, I wiped him
off and we played for about an hour. Usually, he chases me around the house and
I hide in various spots. He always finds me though. It’s REALLY funny! He walks
up really quiet, then bursts out laughing as I scream “AHHHH” from beside the
couch, or behind a door. It’s hilarious. Em started to get fussy around 7:30pm,
so we headed for bath. I let him play in there a bit. Lately, he’s been
drinking the water and getting it in his nose. He freaks out and cries. I don’t
know how else to get him to stop aside from letting him learn from his
mistakes. Water in the nose is no fun! He went to bed fairly quickly too, which
meant I could watch my shows. Vander Pump Rules Reunion and Shahs of Sunset. I
love the Bravo network! I stayed up until nearly 10pm. That’s definitely out of
the ordinary for me.
Alright, I have to go over some financial stuff and train someone at work. Have a super Tuesday, all!
