What A Day!

It has been a crazy few hours! Last night I got home and the construction crew was still at the house. The electrician had been in so my soon to be new kitchen had a ton of brand new outlets! In my old kitchen, there was one place to plug in appliances, suffice my excitement on each of the new outlets. That morning we asked our construction guy if the electrician could put in two recessed lights above our "Bamboo" Peter Lik picture in the living room that hangs above the fire place. When I opened my front door last night there was my "Bamboo" picture all lit up and pretty. That moment of awe lasted only a few minutes because I went on to serve Baby Girl dinner which she threw at me and then I discovered that the heat wasn't working. When hubby called to see what the crew had done it was too late for anything to be fixed so we had to tough it out. I didn't mind for me but I was worried about my daughter who is fighting off an upper respiratory infection so the last thing I wanted was for her to be cold. Of course, my hubby, the hero, went to Target and purchased a space heater so she wouldn't be cold. I slept in her room and was warm and toasty but I am not sure you could say I really slept because I heard every movement that she made and thus was worried all night. The moment I walked outside her room in the morning I was glad I choose to sleep in there because the place was freezing! I was probably complaining too much because hubby suggested that I get out of the house early and get to work where it was warm. I jumped in the shower but that was a mistake because there was no warm water!!! I didn't think the water was affected because warm water was coming out of the faucet but that must have been the last few drops because the shower was like ice. Suffice to say I didn't stay under the water for very long. At least it jolted me awake. I thought my drama of the evening was over but when I got to daycare Baby Girl split her lip open. She was playing with another kid while I prepared her medication and she bumped her head against the bookcase. She must have hit her jaw which rubbed her tooth aainst her lip thus causing an outpour of blood. I really wanted to cry seeing her cry but had to stay calm. It took one of the teachers 10 minutes to get the bleeding to stop. Of course right when the studio nurse and crew got there. Apparently, any injury in the face bleeds a lot but the nurse reassured me she would be already albeit a puffy lip. She clung to me for 15 minutes and then pushed away and got on to playing. I left her with worry but what else could I do? I went to work and then I got a call from Moses' daycare and the groomer giving him a bath noticed his eyes were dilated to different sizes. So that concerned me so I called hubby who made an appointment with the vet tomorrow morning. Man its only mid-day. I hope this afternoon is calm....I hope i just didn't jinx myself!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
