Monday

Well its 5 p.m. and I just finally showered and got dressed for the day. UGH I love when my kids have a break from school -- then again -- I hate when my kids have a break from school. lol It messes up my routine. Colin and I decided to do a puzzle he got for Christmas. It is a 1,000 piece puzzle of money. It is very hard!! He gave up and I spent most of the day working on it. I'm hooked. I only have the border done so far. I didn't get a workout in today. I had on my workout clothes all day though, and thought I would do it, but I didn't. Kelly had a friend over earlier today -- we were taking her home and the jeep ran out of gas just before we were getting on the freeway. Luckily Clint is working at home today. He couldn't find the keys -- so ended up riding a bike to meet us with some gas. lol Picture him riding his bike --tires low on air, in the snow, -- carrying a container of gas. The police lady (she stopped behind me and was kind enough to stay until Clint got there) thought maybe I should ride the bike home since I was so worked up about the whole incident. Too funny. We made it home and switched to the van to take Kel's friend home. Then picked up Colin's friend to play here for a few hours.

Chicago was great. Sat. we got there before check-in time, so parked at the hotel and walked 2 blocks to Michigan Avenue. I took the girls to the American Girl Place for some doll clothes. We window showed and people watched. After check-in at our hotel, we took a 2 minute taxi ride to Navy Pier. Walked around, then had dinner at Bubba Gump's. Yesterday we went to the Shedd Aquarium for a few hours and then headed back home.

My sister Mary is picking me up at 7 to go to a movie with her and my niece Katie. We are going to see the Wedding Date.
