No Things I Love Thursday!



This is how I feel right now! Ahhhh...my life seems to go in cycles of normal routine for a few days then crazy busy for a couple days, then back to normal, and on and on and on!

Today has been a busy day and tomorrow will definitely be busy! Today I cleaned a little, grocery shopped, MADE AN OFFER ON A HOUSE, exercised, made dinner (ok, I admit I threw a Stouffer's Lasagna in the oven, but I did make salad!), and got started on a birthday cake for a friend's son! And to top it all off, my baby girl had a rough time falling asleep tonight! After an hour and a half we finally wrapped her up tight in a velcro swaddle. That seemed to do the trick!

Tomorrow I need to finish the cake (I'll post pictures), make dinner for a friend who just had a baby, exercise, take our dogs to the park, and go to a banquet for the Christian Medical Ministries of Alabama group my husband and I go to. Oh ya, I need to do all that while I take care of my baby girl!

So all that to say...sorry there's no Things I Love Thursday post today! I guess I could have typed a review up in about the same amount of time I typed this...but there's no turning back now! Also I apologize that I haven't gotten up the Grocery Store Deals and coupon match-ups! Yesterday we drove over to Mississippi to visit my MIL (mother-in-law) to celebrate her birthday! We had a great day, but I didn't have much time for blogging. And we're going back over on Saturday to spend the night and celebrate my BIL's (brother-in-law's) birthday!

The busy times sure do make me appreciate the normal routine times!
