Yesterday my plans for Friday were:

• Get up clean, including shampooing the carpet in the hallway and Maria’s new room.
• Go out to lunch with Chad
• Consign some more stuff
• Do some shopping
• Nap and/or watch Thursday night TV
• Pick Up Maria from daycare
• Eat dinner as a family
• Watch some TV or read

Instead I:

• Vacuumed and shampooed the carpets in the hallway and Maria’s new room
• Picked up Maria at daycare (early)
• Made a doctor appt for her 2 goopy eyes
• Ate lunch (Chad got takeout for us all)
• Put Maria down for a nap
• Laid down for a nap, but was interrupted by the doorbell
• Arranged the flowers that were delivered!! (Thanks, Karin!)
• Took Maria to the doctor
• Went to Target to fill Maria’s prescription
• Bought Maria her first Starbuck’s beverage! (hot chocolate)
• Went to the mall with an overtired 2 year old
• Came home, gave 2 year old an ice cream cone for dinner, because I knew she was too tired to sit still for anything that wasn’t a “treat”
• Somehow managed to corral her into bed
• Went back up to her room after 5 minutes to assure her that there were no GORILLAS(!) in the house.
• Made a mental note, not to read Good Night Gorilla to her for awhile!

Don’t get me wrong it was a good day! Just wish it didn’t involve a trip to the doctor or the pharmacy!
