Tuesday June 2nd

6:00am I woke up to get ready for work. Makenzie was still sleeping so I spent sometime working on my blog post. I talked to Pete on the phone and another friend while I was waiting for her to wake up.

8:00am Mak finally wakes up and I change her and put her in the car to go meet Grandma and Grandpa. She's still in her jammies and kind of sleepy so it was a quiet ride listening to a Dixie Chicks CD. I meet my mom and dad at the church where they give me an iced coffee and I give them my baby, lol... for the day while I work at the office.

9:00am I get to work and I am trying to focus on payroll while I have a very hyper dispatcher wanting me to work on other things with him. Payroll was easier than normal with the short work week so I was able to get it done before lunch. April got us all Portillos and we celebrated the fact that we are getting a huge payout tomorrow!! Such a relief.

1:00pm I start to work on projects with Todd and we get a TON done. It was a very productive day at work. Pete gets back to the shop and offers to pick up Makenzie so that I can keep working.

4:00pm I get in my car to go home and I called my friend Annette to vent about some stuff. It was a great talk and she had some words of wisdom that really helped. Miss you annette :) Then I get started on dinner. Pete finished mowing the lawn while Mak played on the kitchen floor so I could keep cooking a mexican dish with rice. Pete also helped our neighbors dig out some grass for a patio they are putting in. While dinner is in the oven Makenzie and I read some books and played with some animal flash cards.

5:30pm We got done eating and Pete got a call from his brother about him and his friends staying the night on Wednesday. I got Makenzie in the tub while he was talking and she played awhile. After coming up with a route from OK to IL Pete came upstairs and got Makenzie ready for bed while I did a deposit for Catom. Makenzie came walking into the room in a "dress" (one of my tank tops) and a head band!! It was HILARIOUS. She loves dressing up and spins around and just smiles and laughs. She played for awhile in the dress until her head banged into her crib when she was reaching for a hair piece and her lips started to bleed.

7:30pm After a bottle and some cuddling she was ready for bed. She is down to only one bottle a day and she really savors it, lol. We put her down and we went downstairs to clean up and then relax. I was feeling super emotional, so a good talk with Pete really helped me get alot off my chest. He is a good listener and an even better hugger. He had another early start in the morning so we decided to start devotionals early and just head up to bed.

10:3opm Our plans did not work out... we ended up talk more and more and realized how late it was and could not believe it!! Poor Pete... he only got a couple hours of sleep...
