Riley fell on her face this morning...she fell last Thursday before school too. Poor thing!!!!! Today her red patent leather shoes are to blame, last week it was the ice's fault. She is so tough though.

This morning, she fell in the parking lot at her preschool. Her pretty white ruffled shirt and little black pants got soaked ! Luckily, at the beginning of the semester, the preschool teachers ask the parents to bring in an extra set of clothes for emergencies! Good thinking on their part.
Riley changed her clothes in the classroom's little bathroom, its so tiny!!!!!!!!! Little toilets, little stall doors...haha. and she hurt her little hands so we ran them under warm water in the little sink to help her feel better.

Kind of a crappy morning for miss Riley. We compared her mishap to Cinderella losing her shoe, so that made it sort of funny and got her to laugh. She said "and at least I got my shoe back !!!!!!" haha. Good point!

One of the teachers at the preschool is going to do laundry today. She offered to wash Riley's shirt for her so she can put it back on later. How nice is that!

Im hungry. I got to sleep in this morning and definitely took advantage of that, but I should have gotten up to eat breakfast!! Where did all of Rileys shoes go?? I know she took some to her dads.....but of course we had plenty of pairs at home. Now theyre gone!!!
Its really hard to type today, I cant see!!!!!! Ah I need my contacts.

We tried on almost every pair of shoes in the house this morning!! None of them fit!! I guess I ened to get rid of them. And...I guess... this means I have to buy more....dang. Stop growing kid. Just stop!
Last night she and I passed out in my bed together. ha! We havent done that in a long time!! But I still dont understand how someone SO small can take up so much room!! It definitely brought back memories......

and im trying to figure out why Riley doesnt like to wear jeans...everyday she wants to wear her little stretchy pants. Its so silly. I dont really mind,  I just want her to be warm.

Riley wants a monkey. What the heck. My moms friend brought her pet monkey over and Riley fell in love with it. She got to hold it, feed it, and play. She was such a good little mom!!! She knew exactly when to stop feeding and set the bottle down and she even wiped the monkey s nose when it got dirty. hahaha.
Then she rubbed the monkeys head. Kind of precious!
Now she is expecting her own monkey. The monkey she got to play with cost its owner $7500!!!! That is so not happeneing!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry Riley....
I am sleepy again!  I had such a long day yesterday, I feel braindead. 
We are picking dates for our trip to the ocean. I am so ready!! I have a date worked out that is OK with work and also with my sisters school schedule. I ll have 10 days off of work, so it s perfect. We are booking our hotel next week!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I get a little tan before we go, or else I will be the palest  person there. That's for sure.

I dont want to go back to work tomorrow. I had my vacation, then I worked 12 days straight and got some amazing overtime, But , still, eh.

Today we are late!! We had some serious issues getting Riley dressed!! I dont mind letting her pick out her clothes, but sometimes they are just CRAZY and I cant let her go out of the house!!She has such enthusiasm ,its so cute. Today we started with a blue and white polka dot skirt, purple sparkly tights, silver sequined shoes, and a not so bad of a choice white shirt. BUT THE SHIRT WAS TOO SMALL. of course. 

out of time!

I am grumpy today. so grumpy. I stayed up too late I have to stop doing that. I think I am going to take the tv out of the bedroom. Its always on. I hate it. My boyfriend will not be happy about that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha! He has been so whiny lately. Its driving me crazy. Its like i have two four year olds. NO THANKS!!! Dating a good guy sucks, its especially hard knowing that my daughter really loves him. Maybe this feeling of him driving me crazy will go awayyyyyy. AGH.

Work sucks too . Its exhausting. Nobody does inventory the same, therefore our numbers are outta control. How hard is it to count? How hard is it to all count the same way?? Hopefully my boss will get a clue and fix this problem...........Im tired of my numbers being off and then trying to explain that.

Math test today! I got to study a little bit, I would have like to study more, but I worked way too much this weekend....I have three hours before that class, so I will have time to get in a good review.

I am proud of mags! She got her own place. It has everything she needs. Living on her own will be so good for her. I just hope she doesnt let anyone move in with her and take advantage of her again.

Its so muggy. I like that its warm, but yuck I didnt know my boss was serious about asking me to move to Arkansas for work. I am kind of suprised. I would get a promotion and basically double my income...that would be nice. I have to think of all the things that would have to change or be given up. I wonder what kind of custody issues this would cause with Riley's dad, although I do have the right to move if it means improving our lives....but still I feel that the consequences would be severe, if not in the near future, I fear that at some point her father would feel the urge to retaliate. Hes such an ass. Riley would have to switch dance schools, or maybe quit altogether, she would have to change preschools (which isnt the end of the world)I would have to switch schools, I wonder if my boyfriend would go with us?? Its not too far from home....yeah a short drive, but not bad enough that I couldnt get home if I needed to.Lots to think about! The money would be nice, but if I have no body to share it with, or am spending it on a custody battle, then I am not sure it would be worth it. It would be fun though. The cafes down there are super busy , that would be a nice change from my store. Its risky though, you never know what kind of management team you end up working with.
im sooooooooooooooooooo sleepppyyyyyyyyyyy. 3 am arguements about watching the princess and the frog are always exhausting.....
today is maggies birthday. I am going to make fun of her all day long. she feels old now. ha.
Riley has her doctors appointment to have her hearing checked today. I hope everything is OK.
