Five Hours

Five hours is the amount of sleep I got last night.  Five hours is not a lot of sleep to be had.  Five hours is the level of sleep that makes me cry at the drop of a hat. Five hours will be blamed for my fits of actually crying during the day today.  Five hours.  Five stinking hours.  I'm not sure what caused the issue last night.  I know my wrist hurt and the brace was bugging me and I was hot.  Very hot.  I wound up ditching the brace and tried to hold my arm very still.  It didn't really work, but I finally fell asleep.

Outfit Details:

Sweater - Old Navy

Shirt and Necklace - J Crew

Jeans - Gap

Shoes - Sperry

Corn Maze

Kira organized her own Saturday night fun, which didn't include us, so Dave and I went on a proper date.  Yeah, I know, amazing that we didn't just go to Target and the grocery store like we normally do when Kira ditches us.

Dave and I went to a corn maze near our house.  The thing was HUGE and on top of the maze, they had goats in a petting zoo like thingy, a pumpkin catapult and a bunch of other activities for little kids.

The maze was organized into sections color coded by tape and they handed us a map and told us that within each section, there were mailboxes to be found that contained clues on how to get out of the maze.  Then, they proceeded to tell us that there were two port-o-let stations within the maze just in case and there were two bridges you can climb to oversee the entire maze.  Since there was a bathroom in the maze, I was game to dig in.  So, Dave and I got lost in the maze.  We could hear the catapult launching while we were in the maze, but we didn't actually see any flingings because the corn was really really tall!  We were like little kids hunting for those mailboxes and I'm happy to say we found all but three and gave up towards the end because we got hungry and decided to go eat!!

Return of....

The brace is back and this time it isn't optional.  The hand ortho doctor dude can't figure out what's going on.  It's still swollen and it still hurts.   So he asked me to wear it most of the time while awake and also wear it to sleep in.  Great.  He also put me on a strong anti inflammatory. The thing has three weeks to recover or I have to go get a MRI.  The fun times continue.   My mom suggested velcro'ing polka dots to it.  That may just happen this weekend!!!

Floral Wrapsody

I've had the components of my outfit today for a while now, but this is the first time I've paired these two pieces together.  I'm really pleased with the results today!

I got a call at work early this morning from my husband.  My daughter was being a complete putz over wearing her uniform this morning for school and it took them twenty extra minutes to get out the door this morning. She insisted on wearing leggings under her uniform skirt and told my husband she's seen other girls doing this.  He was furious with her and I checked the dress code and she was clearly not in compliance. We decided she was taking the consequences for this one.  When I picked her up tonight, I asked her if she got into trouble for her outfit and she did.    The Catholics don't take their non-conformity well at all.  Tonight, we discussed the situation and told her to suck it up and wear the uniform.  We'll see where this all lands tomorrow, but I'm thinking it's not ending well.  She's fighting us on homework tonight too.  It's not been a good day.
