Thoughts of the Day

* If I only had a brain...that would work when it needs to
So, for the past week my brain has decided to go on vacation. Last Saturday at work (job #1 at PetCo) I couldn't do anything right. I have been working for PetCo for 3 years now and I was acting like a trainee on day #2 of work. Then there have been little things all week that I haven't been able to do. The best was yesterday...I forgot it was going to be Thursday and I didn't even go to work at PetCo. Every Thursday I wake-up before anyone should be and unload the truck for the week and put up new stock. It's not great, but it's a few extra hours of pay that I can't complain about. I don't know how I forgot to go it, but I didn't remember until 12:30pm. Thankfully they weren't mad. Then today I had a board meeting for job #2 (World Harvest Outreach Ministries), which thankfully I made it to, but afterwards I was supposed to call Mr. Man to see where he was. He had to bring Sweet Pea in for her 9 month check up (21 pounds 9 ounces & 28 3/4 inches long now) and I needed to check to see where he was at when the end of the meeting. I never called him. I just asked someone if they could bring me to the doctor's office assuming that he would still be there. No, he wasn't. I got dropped off at home and called to see where he was. Mr. Man was waiting at the seminary across from where the meeting was. My original plan was to go to the seminary after the meeting to see if he was there or just wait there until he was done at the doctor. I don't know who or what is stealing my brainpower but I NEED IT BACK!!!!

* Yay for Bath time!!
I got a wonderful reminder from someone yesterday of the power of bath time before bedtime. So tonight I gave Sweet Pea a bath with the amazing Johnson&Johnson's Lavender baby wash and bedtime was wonderful! She had a wonderful fit while I was trying to get her PJ's on, but after that it was cuddle time and into bed...no bottle necessary. I have no idea if she'll last through the night, but right now it's 7:50pm and I'm enjoying peace and quiet.

Well, I wrote that way to soon. I have now entered into the crying/screaming fit that is bedtime. I am really hoping the bottle and Mylacon will do the trick because I don't know how much crying I can take tonight.

* Thank God for Rain!!!
After too many weeks of blazing hot temperatures God finally sent the rain. You can walk outside and you don't feel like you need a shower for once. I hope that the rain will continue for 3 days so that we can all cool down and the city can get a much needed soaking.

* DSL
Mr. Man and I broke down and upgraded from Dial-up to DSL. I am so happy that we did. Now I can accomplish something in 5 minutes when I sit down at the computer to go online.

* Peanut Butter and Chocolate
I don't know how you feel about peanut butter and chocolate but I adore the two. It has to be one of the best combos in the world when it comes to food. I am quite happy to say that I have found a wonderful recipe to enjoy these two wonderful treats thanks to the website of my favorite morning radio show.

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies
1-cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1-cup sugar
1 egg

Mix everything together and put in the fridge for a half hour. Roll into a ball, coat in sugar if you'd like, make the criss-cross pattern with a fork, bake at 350 for 10-12 min. For the chocolate part press Hershey kisses into the cookies while they cool.

Such yummy goodness for such little work.
