We Survived!!

Today was Addie's first day at daycare...And WE survived!! She did great!! She didn't cry one time!! I cried until lunch time. She was 16 months old yesterday and I haven't been away from her for more than a few hours at a time. So, I was not ready for this in any way. On with the story ...We dropped her off at 8:30. She sat down in her chair like a big girl and ate a jelly and biscuit. She ate lunch good and even took a nap. We have got into the habit of holding her until she falls asleep and then we lay her down. But today... like a big girl, she laid down and her teacher rubbed her head for less than 5 minutes and she was out like a light. She slept for 2 hours. WOW!!! They had a special thing for the grandparents at 2:30 this afternoon. So we all went and cookies and lemonade. After that we, brought her home. She fussed when we had to leave. I am so proud of her!! She did so well. She is going back on Monday. She will only go 2 days a week. I hope I do better Monday.

I will post a picture tomorrow. So stay tuned!

Works-for-Me Wednesday

This is my first time participating in Works-for-Me Wednesday . Here is my tip:

If you want to take an apple to work or school that has been cut and keep it from turning brown... here is what you do. Take your apple slicer/corer and cut your apple. Put it back together as it was and put a rubber band around it to keep it together. Since the flesh is not exposed to air, it will not turn brown. Remove the rubber band, eat, and enjoy!! (Just remember... don't eat the core!!)

Menu Plan Monday

I have been having some problems with my left wrist here lately. I had to see a Bone & Joint doctor last Wednesday and then I had to go back Friday for an MRI. I have to go back once again this Wednesday to get the results. There is something he might do in the office Wednesday, however, I could end up having to have surgery in the future. Therefore... since I do not know what will happen Wednesday...my meals are simple. Updates to come later.

Monday- Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy (It's a Southern Thing!!), Eggs and Bacon

Tuesday- Spaghetti, Corn, Cesar Salad, and Bread

Wednesday- Left Overs

Thursday- Cereal or Sandwiches

Friday-Eat Out

Saturday-Pintos, Au Gratin Potatoes, Creamed Corn, Cornbread (Hubby will be home if I need help)

Sunday-Left Overs

Addie's 1st Haircut!!

Addie is just over 15 months and we got her hair cut for the 1st time today. She did so good. She didn't fuss at all. I was really worried because she did not have a nap before we left. She didn't need a major cut or anything... just a little trim. Her bangs were getting in her eyes and the back was getting long. Here are some pictures.
