I Woke Up Tired…

I woke up tired. And late. But instead of immediately feeling frustrated at another night of poor rest, I pulled out my Bible and devotional to start my day right.

I then had a decent morning before heading out to go visit a friend. On the way to visit said friend, I got stuck behind this guy.

I hate traffic. And smelling nasty things. But Christmas music on the radio can keep me in a good mood.

I head to Atlanta Bread Company so I can pick up lunch for my friend. She just had gallbladder surgery a week ago and I wanted to pay her visit and bring her some food she wanted. I got lost. And my phone was dying. But I somehow managed to get one call in to find out what she wanted and then somehow stumbled across my destination in the process.

I make it to my friend’s apartment and after getting M out of the car shut the door. Only to realize my purse still remains inside. And my keys. Great. And Peter gets quite frustrated when I need help. Let’s just say this isn’t the first time.

Thank goodness for time spent with a friend and a yummy lunch. My camera was with the purse, so it looked something like this.

Although much less glamorous. We were both pretty rough looking today with her recuperating from surgery and me taking a daily beating from pregnancy.

On the way home, things continued to not look so hot. Especially when I saw a sleeping M in my rear view mirror…

I knew that would mean no nap once we got home. I was right. A fussy, sleepy M occupied my afternoon. Prayer (and a good cup of coffee) were involved. The coffee would have been good, if not for this…

The dang filters keep flopping over and getting grinds all into my coffee. Annoying. Especially three days in a row. So…is it bed time yet? I've managed to keep cheery despite minor annoyances and no workout for stress relief, but I don't know how much longer it can last. 😉

  • Do you do something scatter-brained often? I have been all over the place this week! I can’t seem to get my head straight.
  • My Kind Act of the Day = the visit to my friend, bringing her lunch. I know how much it means to me to have visitors (and food) when in recovery.

gettin’ cheeky with it

No, not “gettin’ jiggy with it”. And no, not cheeky like wearing chaps cheeky. I’m talking Cheeky as in my all time favorite Mexican restaurant Cheeky.

I haven’t been since sometime this summer, until now. Now….I have dined there twice in the past 24 hours. Oh, yes.

Last night I had Mom’s Night Out with my friends from the mom’s club. I thoroughly enjoyed getting out with them and chatting without the kids. If only I could have enjoyed a margarita or dragonberry mojito with them as well. Sadly, I didn’t get any pictures of the crew all together. You can picture 8 women enjoying kid-free girl time with non-stop talking and ever-flowing chips + salsa. Sounds fun, right? 😀

I headed back to Cheeky today with Em. We had decided at our last visit we would hit up Cheeky. She had never been before and had to see what I always rave about. And I can hardly believe that the next time I see her she will likely be holding her little boy in her arms!

We shared the chips + salsa, then each ordered two tacos + beans. I had my go-to combo of one fish taco with the chipotle poblano slaw and one pork taco with the mango pepper slaw.

Yum yum yum yum. I did switch it up the night before with one fish taco and one crab cake taco. What? When I like something I will order it over and over again.

I don’t have any plans the rest of the afternoon so I plan to play with my little miss ‘tude, if she’ll have me. If she won’t, I have other things to keep me company.

Only 100 pages in and it already intrigues me so. It is different than I expected, but I adore dark and mysterious storylines. Have a great rest of the Saturday all!

  • Do you tend to order the same things at restaurants or always mix it up? I have a hard time branching out if I know I love something.
  • What types of books/movies do you prefer? I love suspense in both. Romantic comedy movies are fun too though.
  • Have you entered yet? Ends on Monday night!

It’s kind of funny. I become a certified personal trainer and the first workouts I turn to this week come from someone else. The book came in for me at the library last week and, after flipping through it, I couldn’t wait to give the circuits a go. Making The Cut includes a lot of […]
