Exhuasted

I'm so worn out today. Having a cold can suck the life out of me. Not to mention it's rainy and dreary today, and that never helps. I figured I should write now because I have a date with my old love Nyquil tonight. I seriously can't wait to knock myself out. I figure I'll be out pretty fast since I haven't had it in almost 3 years!

This morning we ate breakfast and then headed to the Y. Daniel has a whole routine down when we get there. We ride the elevator up instead of taking the stairs. He knows to push the 1 to go up and the B to come back down. Then he charms the front desk ladies and asks for the keys to the nursery. Before we can go down to our room, he has to stop in the director's office to say hi to him too! I'm very glad that Daniel is so well loved there. He discovered Chris' candy jar the other day, so he decided he would just help himself this morning! I was proud he only took one, but also explained that he has to ask if it's okay first! Chris thought it was hilarious though, and Daniel made off with a Twix.



After work, it was off to WalMart to get new tires put on Jacob's car and get an oil change. This has been one of those years where everything expensive has happened. But, now at least both of our cars have new tires on them!

I knew it was going to take awhile. When we did my car Jacob was home for the summer, so he just followed me and I went home until it was done. No such luck with being able to do that today. We were at WalMart for almost 2 hours when it was all said and done.

Thankfully they have a Subway inside, so Daniel and I ate there first to kill some time. He did a very good job and did great sitting at the table. He only tried to get down and couple of times. They only had one highchair and it was in use, so that was our only option.



Then we did some shopping and wandered the whole store. We looked at the Christmas stuff. Then stopped to look at the fish, which he loves! Then we looked at the toys and he wanted me to grab a certain toy for him. He played with it for 20 minutes...so I bought it for his birthday. I love this age. I can just buy stuff with him right there and it doesn't matter!

When we got home I realized that I left a card that I needed to mail sitting on the chair. The mail had just come, but our mailman parks in front of our house, so we just waited for him to come back and then took it out to him. He loves Daniel and it was so cute today because Daniel just learned to say the name Mike the other day...and that just so happens to be our mailman's name too! We get outside and he's saying, "Hi Mike! Hi Mike!" I think it totally made Mike's day!

Then I got the little dude down for a nap. An hour late, but at least he went down easily!

My back is starting to hurt really bad today...and I'm afraid that at anytime I'm going to wake up again and not be able to move. My body seriously hates me. I'm off to go lay down and rest before the little guy is back up again!
