Friday (last Friday that is) Eddie and I were vacuuming Vallerie's room and chatting. I went to peek into the living room to check on Vallerie and what do I see? My mom! She was just sitting on the couch talking to Vallerie. Eddie and I didn't even know she had arrived.
Saturday we went to Walmart and got some groceries and paint for Vallerie's room. Eddie and I agreed on colors without much argument.
Sunday we started painting Vallerie's room. The base is lavender. It really is a great color!
Monday we had some appointments in the morning, but after that we stopped over to the Columbian park zoo. We were not really impressed. The petting zoo part wasn't open. I think Vallerie would have really liked that. Then we got some pizza and took it home. After Vallerie's nap my mom and I started painting polka dots on Vallerie's wall. We got 2 of the 3 colors done. (dark purple and turquoise) It looked GREAT.
Tuesday I had to go back into work. I actually had training that day and got to go see the wind turbans and then to the Fair Oaks Dairy. The wind turbans were cool for about 5 minutes, but the novelty wore off quickly. Our bus broke down as we were leaving the wind farm, so we had to wait at the local co-op for about 45 minutes until a new bus came. Then we headed to the dairy. I thought the dairy was really cool! We almost got to see a baby calf being born, but we had to leave before it happened. I bought gifts for Eddie, Vallerie, and my mom. Eddie got some Hot sauce, Vallerie got a cow stuffed animal that was purple with dark purple polka dots (matches her room!) and I got my mom some cheese. (delicious). The bus home (the same one that broke, but they "fixed" it) the AC was not working. It was a damn hot day.
After I got home, my mom and I finished up the rest of the polka dots in Vallerie's room. (white). It looks really really good. Vallerie will go in and touch the dots and say "what's that" and then sometimes she will name the correct color.
Wednesday my mom went home and I was sad. Had a full day of meetings, so I suppose it was good to keep my mind off of it.
Thursday Eddie had an appt at 9am, so I got to work from home so I could watch Vallerie while he was gone. I was very surprised that I was allowed to do that. Happy though! It actually got a little hot up in my office. I had to turn on the fan.
I've recently started re watching Dr. Who. I am on the 4th or 5th episode of season 1. I made a TARDIS coozie for one of my coworkers friends who loves Dr. Who. I thought it would be a nice surprise for her.
Last night after work I watched some Hells Kitchen, and Eddie and I watched 1/2 of a new dating game show on tv. I think it's called The Choice. It was stupid. So, we decided to watch our Netflix movie (which we've had for like 3 weeks). It was The Sitter. It was ok I guess. Not the worst thing I've seen. After that was over, we went to bed.
I had a great (almost) week with my mom. I wish she could have stayed longer, but we'll be seeing her in a couple weeks when we go on vacation.
