Once again it's been so long since I've posted that a post of random topics seems the best way for me to catch up:
- Ruby is in a new daycare now. Switching has been a lot more emotional for me than I thought it would. I cried a lot on her last day at old daycare. Her, not at all. I was sad for her because she was leaving her friends, several of which I'd consider to be her BFF's (they hug each other goodbye, say "I love you" to each other, talks about them constantly when outside of daycare). Transition to new daycare has been going okay. She doesn't want me to leave in the morning and often asks, "Can you chill with me for a little bit?" The teachers say that she's doing great for being so new which is about what I expected. This daycare costs more-which sucks-but there are benefits for me as well. Online bill pay! No waiting at the front door for someone to let us in! (sometimes it's the little things)
- My brothers, mother, and unofficial sister-in-law were here last week for a visit. They were hoping for an escape from the crazy cold on Minnesota but sadly (for all involved) it ended up being pretty cold down here as well. As per the usual the few days they were here were spent running around like crazy nuts trying to accomplish a bunch of stuff in little time. I was off all week from work and when they left Thursday am I took that day off to recover from the craziness.
- We chopped off Ruby's hair. Like pixie cut chopped off. I had wanted to do this the last time we cut her hair but H wasn't on board. He actually suggested the pixie cut this time around though. We mentioned to Ruby that we were going to cut her hair "like daddy's" (not the best comparison, I know) and she didn't seem to care so we went with it. I was freaking a bit as the hair fell to the floor at the salon but when all was said and done I LOVED it. Much better than her old Christopher Lloyd-esque hair before. It is SO much easier to deal with in the morning. That may or may not have been my motivation for the cut in the first place...
- I booked tickets for Ruby and I to Minnesota in late April/Early May. I haven't been home since Dec. 2012 to this trip has been a long time coming. I kind of would have preferred to go up in March but, well, I wanted it to be a tad warmer first! I was lucky that the plane tickets has gone down a bit ($340 from $550 a month or so ago) AND I was able to get a non-stop flight. Priceless, let me tell you. It totally sucks having to buy 2 tickets though. She would totally still fit on my lap, lol.
