Oops.... I Caved

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. BOYS AND GIRLS.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 25 DAYS, I HAD MYSELF A DIET COKE.

IT.

WAS.

GLORIOUS.

Oh, how I've missed my friend.

To make it even BETTER, I had a Diet Coke with a delicious bowl of Beef Lo Mein from our local Chinese takeout place. I feel like I ate something substantial for the first time in weeks. And it tasted good so I'm pretty much a happy camper. 

We had a great little day today. Ellie and I went on a walk around the neighborhood with some friends. Paisley and her mama, Courtney, brought their little red wagon. The girls had a blast.


They kept trading cups. Ellie would look at Paisley and say, "Hi, baby!"

When I pulled Ellie from the wagon when we got back to the house, she screamed. SCREAMED. She didn't want to get out. Even after we got inside, she laid on the floor of the entryway and just sobbed. Guess we know what we're getting her for Christmas! (I already ordered it online. Hooray!)

Later, she woke up too early from her nap. She was still very much acting tired but wouldn't go back to sleep, so we made a cozy little pallet on the floor for her to watch Bubble Guppies.


And now I'm settling in to watch Scandal. I'm so very happy because my belly is so very full.

One more bonus picture from a few days ago....When you ask Ellie where her Daddy is, she'll hold up her hands and say "Dun knooowwww!"


And if that is not the cutest thing... then I don't know what is.

  1. Oh my word-- your girl is just too much cuteness to handle! That little red wagon will look pretty perfect next to a Christmas tree with a big ole bow :)

    Amen to you for the Diet Coke and Beef Lo Mein-- sometimes we just need the happy food to keep on keeping on!
