Little Of This, Little Of That

For the past few days I have had some stuff that I have started to blog about, but well, I just haven't been able to put together a full post. So I decided that I am just going to put them all together in one post. I know it's random, but here you go...

~~~~~~~~~~

I had my first trip to the FOP this weekend. (The FOP is the Fraternal Order of Police - for those of you who don't know what that is, it is a hang out place that police officers can go to.) We went for a police families get together. I have to say that I always feel odd at these gatherings. I really only know 3 of the other wives and none of them were there. I spent most of the time sitting in a chair by myself or following Josh around as he talked to people. Kinda awkward.... Then when we left we all smelled like a bar. Lovely!

Today we went Uptown for lunch. We ate lunch outside because the weather was beautiful! We then took a little walk through the South End. When we got home I sat and read a book outside while Alyse and Josh played. Such a perfect Saturday afternoon.

I have hurt myself numerous times this past week.

First, I fell over the dog. He was sleeping and I totally didn't see him. I tripped and tried to catch myself with my arms, but then he jumped up and ran away so I lost my balance and fell hard onto the ground. I had put my hands down to catch myself so I ended up hurting my wrist pretty bad. It was very swollen.

Then, I was getting out of the car last night and the door slammed shut on my leg. Oh it hurt so bad! I have a beautiful bruise.

The last thing is I was playing with Alyse at Little Gym. I did a roll over for her on the mat and hurt my neck (which has already been sore for about a month.) Hopefully I will not do anything else and will survive the weekend!

Over the last few days I have noticed pecans all over my house. On the couch, on the floor in Alyse's room, in my bed.... I had no clue how they were getting everywhere. Then I noticed little Miss Alyse opening the pantry door, standing on her tip toes, grabbing a handful of nuts, and then her and the dog running to find a spot to have a little snack.

Alyse is still loving Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I, however, am seriously over it. I have done the math and figured out that I have watched over 30 hrs of it over the last week! She finally let me put in a different movie. I went with The Happiest Millionaire because I knew that she would like the singing and dancing. She liked it, however it is really long (almost 3 hrs.) When we were watching it I decided to look up the movie online and discovered that it is a true story! Interesting!

Also because of the search for new musicals (which I have to say that I am so glad that my love for musicals was past down to her!) I ordered two more of my favorite movies for her ~ The Original Family Band and Summer Magic. Can't wait till we get them!

Josh and I have started watching Southland. I think we like it.....

Tonight I was feeling a little overwhelmed with life. Josh could tell that I needed a little break, so he took Alyse out for a little Daddy & Daughter Date. They went and left me home to relax all by myself. I think it was just what I needed, plus seeing the smile on both their faces when they came home was so sweet.

Ok, that is it for now. Hope you are all having a great weekend!
