We got a treat yesterday. Harper's Nonny and Granddaddy came for a visit. Harper had a tough day yesterday with her teething. She was very fussy and would NOT take a nap.
I've been so proud of myself because last week I started her on a firm nap schedule. Before since I was home and we couldn't go anywhere for so long - I was just pretty willy nilly - letting her nap in my lap or whenever and wherever she decided she wanted to but I decided it was time to try and be a little more scheduled so every day I have been putting her in her room with the lights out, the fan on, the cool mist vaporizer, her favorite CD and just letting her go to sleep on her own and it has worked great!!! She takes a 2 - 3 hour nap and we both feel better. But she wasn't having it on Friday.
So my parents and I put her in the car and drove around and took her to Target because it was too hot in the middle of the day to stroll outside and then we just kept driving around so she would get some rest.
And then last night - my parents kept Harper (it was a pretty easy job because I put her to bed first) and Scott and I got to get out and go on a date. I have been looking forward to this ALL WEEK!!! It was the first time in months we have spent any time alone and been able to eat a meal together and it was just wonderful!!!! My parents wanted us to go to a movie or starbucks or do something but we had so much fun but couldn't wait to get home and check on Harper.
We went to our favorite place - Doe's!!! We splurged our diets and had tamales first. I LOVE Tamales.
Doe's is known for huge steaks - we split this one. I promise this wasn't just my meal. I'm not going to lose 15 lbs eating like this. ha!
This sign was hanging up near us and we had to laugh. Looks like we won't be coming to Doe's without a sitter for at least 8 more years! ha! Yesterday was the Wal-Mart Shareholder's meeting which I missed for the first time in 13 years. There are always lots of celebrities in town - yesterday at the meeting they had Michael Jordan, Ben Stiller, Kris Allen, Miley Cyrus, Smokey Robinson and maybe a few more. I PROMISE that there was a group that came in while we were eating that looked like a country band and they just looked familiar or famous to me. I could not figure out if they were. But I have a feeling we were eating with celebrities - if I only could only find out who. ha! Maybe I'm crazy.
(Yeay - Beth helped me figure it out - it was Trace Adkins! I googled how tall he was just to make sure and he's 6 foot 6 just like this guy was. He was also wearing a CMT t-shirt which clued me in)
Isn't this little girl the CUTEST? I swear if she wasn't mine - I'd be trying to adopt her. I just want to kiss her to death!
Now a little business before I wish you a good weekend!
