Tonight I went out with my friend Cristina. I haven't seen her since before my surgery. It was REALLY nice to get out without anyone. It was nice to have something be all about me. Man.
So we went JoAn's in Florence to eat Sushi. It was the best! I hadn't had sushi since I quit breastfeeding in June or July when Andrea came into town. MMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
We talked about everything except men and family. Of course we talked about Reagan - why wouldn't we. Right? :) But nothing else. We talked about us - girl stuff. WOW! What the heck is that like?
I felt so much better after I got home.
I was able to get home in time to put Reagan to bed. I actually did it too. I gave her a bottle in the rocking chair and then she got so antsy I couldn't wait on Jim to carry her to bed. I put her on the floor and she walked to her crib. So cool.

Out to dinner
Instead of cooking today, I thought it would be less stressful and less energy to go out to eat with Reagan and my parents. We took off soon after they got here and went to Max & Ermas. It usually is a good place to go with kids.
We sat down in the back (a good idea with a toddler) and ordered food. Reagan did well. We went through my stash of food - grapes, yogurt melts, goldfish - before she got bored. We were still waiting on food. It took them forever to deliver it. Geez!!
Once it got there, Reagan decided she was not interested in eating. Nice. She played and flung food. Thank goodness it seemed to be a child-friendly area (others had kids). She wasn't loud at all. She was very easy actually. Despite her not wanting to eat, she did great.
We did get a game of "slide the cup" going. Dad and I were passing it over the table top back and forth. She screamed and wanted in. She passed it too. It was awesome. Dad passed it to me, I passed it to her and she sent it over the Grampy. We were all impressed.
Ah well. Another fun night with the BB.

"I get it"
I think if I'm told one more time that someone understands my situation I'm going to scream! I'm so sick of people saying "well I had my shoulder done, or I twisted my ankle". People don't understand unless they've really been in your spot. This is the second time I've been on crutches like this and quite frankly, unless you've been on crutches for more than a few days, you just can't get it! I'm on my sixth week of being completely Non-Weight Bearing on my right foot and I'm guessing I won't be walking until April. Then add in a toddler. Just tell those people "don't go there with me".
Try empathy not sympathy!
Personally - I don't need either. :)

So tired
Today I'm tired again. I went to work and just came home exhausted and sore. Everytime I go into the office, my leg gets super hot. Today I just stayed because I figured I'd probably feel better once I started towards home - I was right.
My day was interesting. Today was the first time I had been questioned by work about "where I was" on Friday. I about died. It's not like I can get up and run around. The problem was the I didn't answer my cell phone.
So depsite my desire to scream and say "really", I just said "well, my phone is basically broken and unreliable" (which was true - I lost the back to my cell phone and the simm card wouldn't stay in) and it was also on the second floor.
I mentioned that I had included my home number for people to call me at, but that was disregarded. Despite the questions, I had already completed the tasks that he was worried about and they were "out the door".

Reagan is a trip
She LOVES her flash cards. She goes APE for them. I'm not kidding. Every morning now, on her way down the steps, she points at her flash cards. I move them around sometimes but she can find them. And if we don't "do cards", she cries. Oh My!

Grinding teeth?
Oh my - she's already started grinding her teeth. It is the worst noise in the world. Tonight after dinner, I kept hearing her chew on something - it really sounded like she was chewing on a rock. I couldn't get her mouth open, so JIm did. There was nothing there. The only thing we could figure out is that she was grinding her teeth. UGH! It gives me chills thinking about it.
Tooth #8
So last night, Jim said that tooth #8 had broken through. So now she has three top front teeth, two bottom front teeth, and two bottom molars and her left top molar. Wow! Tooth #9 is not too far behind - her bottom left canine I think.
