Cheese With Your Whine?

Counting the days =(
Well, this is officially my last 'regular' work day off with Rylee before I go back to work. I keep vacillating on whether this is right or not. I do know I'm doing what I need to, but it's really tough. I take comfort in the fact that she is happy when she's at school and that she is her normal self at home.
Today was a crazy day. We went to lunch for Katie's birthday which is Wednesday. We had planned to go with Galena for Chinese, but then I thought I had to go to Grapevine (to meet Erin so that we could check out the carseat situation for the trip), so I cancelled on her, and then it ended up that I am going to go there tomorrow. So basically, nothing that I thought would happen today did. Ever have one of those days??
After lunch, since I didn't have to go anywhere, we decided to go watch The Longest Yard. Okay, how many times must I make the same mistake??? Rylee does NOT do well in movies. She spilled my drink on herself, took off her shoes, fussed and fidgeted, and in general frustrated the crap outta me (thank God for Lexapro!). So we got up and walked around. Katie had Conan out there too. Rylee was walking around - shoeless of course because they are on the floor in the theater - and got her feet totally black on the bottoms. Apparently, she drags the tops of her toes when she walks, because they are black too. Now, she's tooling around here saying "EEEWWWW" and looking at her piggies. Crazy chick.
Katie and Chris brought Cole home from Grandaddy's funeral with them and sent Taylor home with Granny, so he'll be here for a couple of weeks. Taylor won't be home for quite a while, since she's going on her trip with Granny about the same time we take off to Florida. It'll be close to a month til I see her again.
Speaking of Cole....he took this pic of Rylee when he was here last time. I think he did a marvy job, so I thought I'd share.
WHOA!!
It has just now dawned on me that we moved here exactly a year ago today. Has it really been that long? Sometimes it seems like we've been here forever and at others it feels like we just moved here. But I truly am happy in McKinney. I've met a great bunch of friends that I don't think I could live without. Of course I miss the people I left back in OKC, like Cassie and Mike, but we still talk and that makes it easier. I think this was a great move and new start for us. It's funny how life goes. I never expected that we'd be where we are today....what with me going to work and her starting school and all. Kinda makes ya go hmmmm. Life is full of surprises, but that's what is supposed to make it fun, right?
