Hmmm...about me logging in more often, that didn't exactly come to fruition this week did it? I had good intentions though. Let's hear it for good intentions! Here's some other things I had/have good intentions about: saving money, working out, not eating out every night, and doing homework in a more timely fashion. Sigh. Well, if I actually did those things I'd have nothing to complain about. Who am I kidding, I can always find something to complain about! Let's move on.
Here's a rundown of this past week's excitement. My little girl had a doctor's appointment for some vaccinations on Tuesday. We found out she's gained three pounds since her last visit six weeks ago and has grown another two inches! As for the shots, uh, she hated that. One of the shots made her a bit fevery, but that was expected, and she was a crabby little baby for the rest of the day and part of the next. And we get to the same series of shots again in eight weeks. Woo hoo! Since then she's rallied and is back to her cute baby self. I had a doctor's appointment because my throat had been killing me and it turns out I have a mild case of strep throat and am now on antibiotics. I have not returned to my cute baby self, but I haven't been cute in decades except maybe to my mom. Try not to get old folks. Saturday we took our little girl to a pumpkin patch and hayride, corn-maze deal and we were thoroughly unimpressed. So was our little girl as she slept in her Baby Bjorn the entire time, but we did get a couple of pumpkins and some cute pictures. As we were leaving we passed the "real" event for the day. Let me explain: there were two places called Something from the Farm: one was a place where they had a huge corn maze, hayrides, the real Cam the Ram, etc., (the link) and the other was a local farmer with a fresh vegetable stand, his own corn maze, "hay rides" and a pumpkin patch. Guess which one we went to? Aargh! Why didn't someone mention this somewhere? We did get some fresh apple butter though, but it's from Arkansas not locally made like you would think when visiting a local farm. All in all a bogus experience.
Now if you'll excuse me I have to write a 9-15 page page mid-term paper that's due Tuesday morning by 8:00. I heart weekends.
