RECAP: The weekend....

I can't believe it's already over! I can't stand it...the weekend is NEVER long enough!

Friday evening, Jonathon, Amanda and I went to dinner for my birthday. I really wanted to go to Olive Garden, but it was so damn packed, there were tons of people waiting outside at 8:00!! So, we drove over to Chili's and I was starting to feel like shit...my nose was running, and clogged...really weird feeling! I hate being sick! After dinner, we took Amanda home because she wasn't feeling too hot either...in fact, she was the first one to get sick...so I blame her totally! Anyways, then Jonathon and I drove out to Sam's Boat in the Woodlands for some drinks. I thought it was cool, but some of the other guys didn't think so, so we just headed home. It's ok ~ it was getting late, and I just wanted to get home to hop in bed.

Emalynn spent Friday night at her Mimi's house, so that was nice. So, on Saturday, I went over to Pat's house to attend the Pampered Chef party she was having, and to pick up Emalynn. I missed her so much...it's funny how when you don't see your child for one day, how grown up they look when you finally get to see them again! She just looked like a big girl...I know she's getting there, but it's amazing some of the things you notice when you're away from them for a period of time...

Then we drove down to Bree and Abel's house to BBQ for my birthday. We hung out there till about 1:30 in the morning...and then decided it was time to drive the 40 minute drive home...it's ok...it's always better to sleep in your own bed anyways!

Yesterday, Emalynn wasn't feeling to well. She kept pointing to the inside of her mouth and we felt so bad...we put Orajel on her little gums, and gave her Tylenol, but it was just hurting her so bad! She had breakfast, and Jonathon said she chowed down. She had 6 mini-pancakes and some eggs. That's the most I've heard her eat in a long time! Then we all decided to take a nap together...we slept for about 2 or 3 hours and then got up and watched football. Later in the evening, we took a trip to Starbucks for some coffee. That was nice...their Pumpkin Spice Latte is awesome! It's even better when you add some cinnamon and nutmeg of your own! Jonathon loves their Caramel Machiato. He gets that every time we go! Anyways, we headed back home to wrap up our evening...with Emalynn still not doing so well.

Today I had to take her to the daycare and she wasn't very happy. I held her, and she didn't want to let go of me...I started to get tears in my eyes as I left...I hate leaving her like that. I know she wasn't feeling up to par, and Jonathon and I both HAD to go to work. How do you look at that little face and tell her that your sorry but you have to go to work so we can give her everything her little heart desires...plus a roof over her head and a bed to sleep in. It's pretty sad...I wish I didn't have to work!!!

Sorry, I've been blabbing...lots of things going through my mind! Ultimately, I just love Emalynn with all of my heart, and I would do anything for her...which goes back to my original question...Could you ever imagine loving something little like that with all of your heart and might? I hope my love continues to flow to her and that she knows that her Mommy loves her without a doubt, and will always love her.
