What DID I do all day?

I woke up and realized that it was freezing cold and my silk slip only made it seem more cold. I don't even own pantyhose so I just layered a bit. There's just something special about having something pretty underneath all your clothes. Even decided to accessorize today. I felt girly.

Lets see, I chatted with Andrea online for a while, I played on my message board. While there I discovered that I'm on page two of the most posts of all time. Over 8,000 posts! Wow, I didn't think i was that chatty!

I decided to take up Monday's challenge on my message board. I spend so much time sitting in front of the computer that i might as well make it work for me. Every time the thread is bumped, you have to get away from the computer and work on your house for 5 minutes. I spent the day alternatively getting things done and psychically willing other women not to reply to the thread so it won't get bumped to the top and i wouldn't have to clean anymore.

And then i planted my tomato plant so that it would have time to grow. I bought a cherry tomato plant the other day and had to put it in the ground before it came root bound. I'm still not sure what to do with all the herbs i bought. I sort of want to put them in my window box, but i already have spinach, radish, and lettuce planted there. Or my strawberry pot, how cute would that be, but once again, i already planted there :(

I cleaned up Caleb's room a little which was MUCH needed. It was pretty gross. Caleb kept begging me to take him to school, but there's not school this week. Then he asked to see Teacher Courtney (his new occupational therapist) but i reminded him that we don't see her until Friday, and he threw a fit.

My MIL took me to the post office, to pick up the shoes i ordered (they don't fit) and caleb very sternly told me that he didn't want to stay home with me, he wanted to go to grandmas. I tried to bribe him but he wasn't having any of that. He ended up running home and crying on his bed for a while. (aren't i the best parent ever?)

Later i told him that we were going to walmart, so we got our walking shoes on and headed there. he did a great job walking with me over there so i bought him a caramel sundae. It looked delicious. While we were sitting there, these two older ladies came up to us and started talking to caleb. They asked if we were headed to a party (?!) I told them no and they told me that it was nice to see someone wearing a dress for a change and then wandered off to do what old ladies do.

Sweet! After they left i thought that i should have told them that I AM the party, but then...i don't think they would have appreciated it.

We got home and I caught up on Heroes and How I Met Your Mother online and then Caleb begged us to go see Aunt Manda (even though by the end of the night last night he was literally begging for us to go home) so we went over there and watched our shows with them and then went home around 11, where we all went to bed. I was laying there reading my book (linked at the bottom) when i saw Caleb run to his room with a box in his hands. I followed him like a good little detective and discovered that he had a rat in the box. Damn it! So i put the poor rat away and blocked the hallway (if we had a fire we would have been screwed) because i can't have him getting rats out in the middle of the night, and i laid my head down on my pillow and went to sleep at a decent hour for the first time in days.
