:)

So today was a bit different than what my normal day entails. I woke up around normal 8:30(Asa has been great as sleeping in with me) We both had Farina for breakfast, which is not normal but well worth the work! We watched a bit of children's shows and I worked on my budget and bills. It feels so great to get that stuff out of the way! So anyway, after all that around 1, Asa and I left for the Post Office. I asked the postman if they were going to be experiencing a power outage from 1-3 today, he said he didn't know. I told him that Peco called and let us know they would be shutting power off for maintenance today and that we lived just down the street from the post office. So I mailed my bills and bought some pretty stamps and as I was walking out of the post office all of the lights went out. I thought it was funny, even though I kind of knew it was going to happen.

After the post office we ventured to the BRAND STINKIN' NEW Target which opened up in my own town!! It was so nice and pretty and clean. They didn't have what I wanted though, a Wii game for my dad's 50th birthday this Friday. Since we didn't have any luck at Target I decided to go the traditional route and buy some clothes from Eddie Bauer for dad. It's kinda something I always do for him. So anyway they had an amazing sale and I got him some really great pants. Afterwards went into Borders and I bought a cute birthday card(they are so cheap and interesting and different there!!) I also got a book for Asa, a Fisher Price Little People book, they were all on sale for $4 and I usually pay twice that for them! So I am putting it aside for christmas, but I was happy about that great deal! Next we went to Arby's to get some chicken tenders and french fries for Ace, which he barely ate, he basically just drank all his lemonade. I did get some curly fries for myself, I love those things! After eating we ran to the bank drive-thru and then back home. We got home at about 3 and the electricity had been turned back on!

Leaning against the front door as I pulled up was a box of flowers from a friend at church! They are lovely roses and brightened my day! She sent them to cheer me up since I haven't been feeling well with this pregnancy! Talk about thoughtful! That seriously encouraged me!

I quickly brought Asa up for a nap with some strawberry milk. Just a few minutes after I thought he fell asleep I heard him coughing violently and then vomitting. So that was fun. I was able to clean it all up and then lay back down with him in his toddler bed(it was the only way I could get him to be in it and not cry). I soon drifted to sleep. The phone awoke me, (-0r maybe that was Asa telling me to get the phone) Whatever the case, I shut his door behind me when I went to answer it, but not closed enough. After only a few minutes of chatting in my room, I was joined by a sleepy toddler who said he needed to sleep in my bed. But he wasn't telling the truth, because he obviously wasn't trying to sleep, more like do gymnastics.

So soon after Mark got home from work and I talked him into taking me out to Bennigans for dinner(On wednesdays they have 4.99 burger meals--and boy are they good burgers) So we went, had good food. Came home, put Asa down, and now here I am. I feel like today was a whirlwind!

I think I am going to sit for a while and relax, maybe staring at my roses, and then I am going to go to sleep early.

Tomorrow, if I get my dishes and laundry done and feel up for it, I want to go to Bath and Bodyworks and buy the Pumpkin wallflowers and candle, they smell so great!
