Man, rough day today!! Tatum is doing a lot better but MAN she was a handful today and I had them both by myself as my poor mom is super sick too! It also feels like Wade and I are coming down with whatever it is and I'm pretty sure Wyatt has some degree of it as well as he's not seemed to feel very well the last couple days either. Yuck.

As a friend said, her cheese face is on point! 😂😬

In spite of how challenging she was being, I actually got more done than I expected today! I finished up thank you cards, got almost all of the birth announcements addressed and stamped and ready to mail, some laundry done, and I even made dinner thanks to my Instant Pot!

I tried a new recipe tonight! IP Chicken Pot Pie Casserole! It tasted amazing!! Wade went back for seconds and I have a TON leftover for dinner tomorrow. Super easy recipe too:

After dinner I sent Tatum out to the backyard to run off some steam with Wade and Wyatt and I vegged out for a few!

I love his "praying mantis" pose. I trimmed his fingernails again tonight so you can actually see his hands instead of mittens! 🙂

OH!!! I also added some new Pyrex to the collection by way of winning two raffles!!! I'm most excited about the Pink Gooseberry set!! It's been on my wish list for a while but price-wise out of my reach really!!! Thank you raffle!!!! I'm really loving them!

This is also the first two pieces of Snowflake Garland I've gotten, so I have to decide if I'm up to starting a new pattern or not. Lol!! They're really pretty!

Tomorrow I have lunch with my boss, then I'm gunning for a real good nap in the afternoon because Tatum's butt is going back to school!!! Whoop!!!

Tummy Time – Not a Fan….

We had a nice day today!  Got a few things done here at the house in the morning, then met Amber and Sadie for lunch at the Chocolate Angel Tea Room.  It was really good!  After lunch I wandered around High Street for a bit and then puttered over to Plano Antique Mall too for a little Pyrex shopping expedition.  =)

Got some Town and Country and a Butterfly Gold.  =)  I know, I don’t need any more, but hey, my name is Jamie and I have a problem.  LOL

This evening we had a wonderful pot roast I cooked in the Crock Pot today.  It’s funny how our time with Blue Apron and Hello Fresh gave me a new appreciation for spices and seasonings!  I seasoned the meat with Rosemary and Thyme, and it was delicious!  I’ve finally figured out which roast to buy for more tender meat and I’m happy I did!  I had a really hard time getting behind pot roast before that.

Also finished my planning for the next week this evening.  Also funny how I never was able to fill a paper planner when I was working but now that I’m not the dang thing is full.  LOL!

Really looking forward to my parents getting home either tomorrow evening or Sunday morning.  Two weeks is a long time to go without seeing them!  Tatum is going to be so excited to see them!

A puzzle piece fell into place on Tatum's no good, very bad weekend. She was running just the slightest fever this morning, and since both Wade and I figured the ear infection didn't get knocked out by the antibiotic Wade took her in to Nitehawk (pediatric urgent care). They checked her ears, checked for strep, uti, everything, but nada. Virus. So at least it's not an infection, yet… 😬

We had a fairly low key day since she was feeling kind of off. Naps, mommy treated herself to a MASSAGE (and it was ah-may-zing!), and then I grabbed my new additions to my Pyrex collection from my "dealer":

I present, PINK GOOSEBERRY!

I had the top bowl (the smallest) but she was able to complete my set for me! Really love them!!

After that we did our very first Walmart grocery pickup, and I have to say, I can't believe it took me this long to try it!! Should have listened to Sara!! No more lugging kids into Wally World for me! Woop Woop!

We braved it and went to Cotton Patch for dinner, and it went better than expected. Stopped off at the dollar store for me to get the little cups I use to stack my pyrex and Tatum picked out a flower. She was so pleased with it, and what the heck, it was $1…. right? I know, spoiled…

Tomorrow I have a whole stack of stuff to do so I'm really hoping she will feel well enough to go to school. I am so not ready to have both of them at home!!! She's been pretty much fever free since this morning so my fingers are crossed!!!

Until tomorrow!
