Busy Girls

So cute in her coat and hat, ready to go!

So it's been a busy week for us. Sunday was my Grandma's 80th birthday party in Cedar Falls, and yes we can all thank my mother for planning it on Superbowl Sunday, like I could ever get that off from work. So I had to call in, but it was really nice, all the family (except my cousins in California) were there and it was really nice to see everyone. Ireland was getting over her bronchitis and ear infections but she was doing really well and had fun playing with everyone, especially my little cousins Olivia and Anna. Then Monday I stayed home with her until Chris came to pick her up for his weekend. Tuesday I went into work early and got off early as well so I got some sleep that night. Wednesday was bowling day of course, and my baby came home, Chris dropped her off at the bowling alley. She's always so excited to see me, it just melts my heart. But then of course she has a fit every time she has to be held by someone else so I can bowl. Wednesday night I went out for my birthday dinner with my girls. Jen, Jessica, Brianne, Amber, and Shannon and it was wonderful. No men, no kids, it's been forever since we've done that. We went to Ohana's and then to the bar for a couple of drinks and then realized how old we're all getting when we were on our way home by midnight, all tired. But that's the way it is now and none of us would change it for anything, and we had a great time. I really needed it as I've been dealing with some crazyness lately, but like they say, you're best friends will hate the same assholes you hate, and sometimes it really helps just to share the hatred with people who love you. So today is just a whole day I get with Ireland, which are of course my favorite days ever. She's napping right now and then I think we'll go shopping for a bit. The cold today is almost tolerable and tommorrows suppssed to be like 45 which is a heat wave compared to what we've been dealing with lately. God I hate winter. Tommorrows back to the grind, but next week I have four uninterupted days off with my little lady. So that's good to look forward to!
