Today

-Poor Millie still had a little fever. 3rd day of this fever bug, whatever it is.

-Despite her sickness, we spent a few hours at the church this morning setting up for New Beginnings. The show must go on, right? Millie was so good until she hit her breaking point. And then we quickly left.

-We got locked out today. For a really long time. I popped some muffins into the oven and then we went across the street to check the mail. We have a little keypad thing on our door where you just type in a code to unlock it instead of carrying around a key, so I never have a house key with me! Very convenient when the keypad works, very inconvenient when it doesn't. I didn't have my cell phone either, since we were just going across the street. The keypad thing decided to continue not working after a gazillion tries and prayers and jigglings. Then the timer for the muffins went off, and I just knew they were going to burn! I remembered that we left a house key with Tyler's parents just in case, but I hoped it wouldn't get that far. After being outside crying and praying and jiggling and trying to break in for a good 35-40 minutes, we gave up and drove the 12 minutes there and the 12 minutes back with the key (insert Hallelujah Chorus here- thank goodness for spare keys and wonderful in-laws). Did you count those minutes? My house smells really bad now. It was probably one of the most stressful hours of my life- the smell of muffins wafting out of the house, Millie crying {her binky was, of course, inside}, the keypad beeping at me, my phone ringing inside, wondering if the house would set fire, the microwave timer beeping, it was just all too much. Not to mention by the time we got back and inside the house I had 20 minutes before I was supposed to leave for New Beginnings! Things like that always happen on the worst possible days, right?

Inedible. I need a pickaxe to get these out.

-New Beginnings was awesome. It was the culmination of a ton of hours from all of the leaders, and we were so happy with how it turned out. And I think the girls were too, which makes it all worth it! 

-It is 10:24 pm and there is no sign of a hubby home anytime soon. Right now our only hours together are spent sleeping, and even then it's less than 5 hours a day. 

I'm going to go eat cookie dough in the bathtub while I watch something mindless. Can this day just be over please?

To end on a more positive note, I love it when Millie "helps" me with laundry. And that she is figuring out how to put clothes on! Watching her learn is my favorite right now.
