Days 27-30

Sorry I've been slacking at posting every day. I have officially hit "crunch time" and I am uber busy. For example, from tomorrow until Tuesday, I am booked from at least 8:30am-7:30pm every day. With no break for lunch. Hopefully at least one checkout will end early so I can run home and grab some lunch.

Sunday (Day 27) Nursery. Yeah, I know it's a weird one. Especially since a little over a year ago I couldn't wait to get out of there. I was asked to sub today, and I kinda didn't want to. I'll admit it. I really wanted to be able to go to Relief Society and see people since I have been on the go and unable to be in our ward for about a month now. But I went because I have this problem with saying no. (Now don't go taking advantage of me for that! I'm working on developing a backbone) Anyway, I got in and was kinda going through the motions and was a little bit irritated. But then one gal came in and was just sobbing because her mom was leaving her. I picked her up and put her on my lap and she calmed down a little bit. Eventually, she fell asleep in my arms. There was also this other little boy that, once he realized his mom had snuck out, started crying. I told him to come over and was going to have him sit on the carpet in front of me, but he came and sat on my lap (well, one side of it anyway, since I was still holding the other gal) instead. It was so cute because pretty much as soon as he sat on my lap he stopped crying. And he clung to me the rest of the day. That pretty much rocked my socks, I'm not going to lie. =)

Monday (Day 28) Sugar cookies. I made a batch so I could send some to my brother in the MTC since they're his favorite, and I had a blast. I had stocked up on frosting when it was on sale a while ago, and my mom had given me a ton of sprinkles, so I had fun decorating them all cute. =) Hopefully they arrive there in one piece lol.

Tuesday (Day 29) Fajitas. Mmm! I bought some steak last week that was on sale for a pretty good price, so today we decided to make fajitas. Jeremy cut it up in pieces and then we cooked it with some chili powder, cumin, and seasoning salt. And then we also fried up some bell peppers (we were going to do some onions too, but I went to grab some out of the freezer and realized we were out. sad day!) and loaded the goods into some slightly warmed tortillas. I had pepper jack cheese on mine and Jeremy had some mozzarella I believe. They were so tasty! And pretty darn healthy too! =)

Wednesday (Day 30) Pepto. Last night and this morning my stomach really wasn't feeling so hot. I have no idea why (unless it's from eating all the pepper jack cheese I've been eating...possibly the jalapenos in it?) Anywho, the pepto really helped, along with saltines and cherry 7up. And my wonderful husband did my 2 morning checkouts so I could sleep in and try to get over being sick. =)
