Yesterday it rained ALL day. So, like I said we probably would, Zach and I played a bunch of games on the Wii and had fun. I didn't have much free time yesterday between the chores and playing with Zachary, but I did manage to get my nap. I got up and got dressed for work and about 15 minutes before I had to go my husband got home. I was sad about it. I didn't want to have to leave for work on his birthday! I also was having a minor panic attack about going in ~ it never fails. Every time I have to go to work I feel like I'm freaking out as the clock counts down to the time I have to leave. But then when I clock in I switch modes and I do fine.

I didn't get any rude customers until the end of the night. Like I've said before, we get a last rush of them who show up 15-30 minutes before we close and they always do the big shopping trips. I get disgusted with it, because then I have to kill myself to get them taken care of as quickly as possible to get them out of the door. Last night was particularly bad because I had one lady who I had to check EVERY single sale item and explain it to her, then a guy who when he goes to pay, realized he had left his wallet at home, and THEN a girl who has a cart full of groceries (and people in line behind her) and when she goes to pay she realized she forgot her pin number. So her friend has to have the manager unlock the door, let her out to go get it from her vehicle, then come back in and retry the whole thing. People were starting to get very angry about it. But what am I supposed to do? By the end of it my feet were aching and so was my back, and it felt so good to sit down in the car!

I came home to a completely wired kid and a grumpy husband who also wanted all of my attention. All I wanted to do was be able to eat my dinner and chill out for a little while! When we finally got Zach to go to bed we laid down too, but my brain was still buzzing around everything and it took me about an hour to fall asleep. But I slept really well again, and woke up at about 7:30. I actually thought it was closer to 10:00 and was aggravated that I had slept so late, lol. But Zachary was still conked out and Aaron had to go to his dentist appointment at 8:30 so it was nice to have some quiet time to myself where I could just drink my coffee and play on FB for awhile.

When Aaron got home we sat down and actually did a budget for the next 2 weeks! Yaaay for us! I'm so proud of doing that…now we have an estimate for what we have to get us through the next 2 weeks after bills and groceries and gas. Surprisingly there's more left over than we thought there would be. Maybe some of it will make it into savings this time! It would make me feel really great to see that happen. 😀

Aaron took the day off today, and we're going to go to Melbourne (the next decent size city away from us) and do some of our grocery shopping for pet stuff. I'm also planning on dropping him at his Dad's for awhile so Zach and I can go get his b-day gift finally. He'll know what we're up tobut not "where" or "what". So I'm okay with that.

Day 3 of the no yelling challenge is going well. This morning Aaron started to lose his cool but he stopped himself on his own and took a deep breath and then spoke to Zachary at an even tone. Zach listened and did what Aaron asked. Aaron was actually surprised that it worked. I just smiled. We're on our way.

Well, looks like plans have changed. Aaron has decided that he want Hooter's wings for his birthday, so we're going to forgo his birthday present. He says he'd rather have lunch instead. Okaaaay. Whatever the birthday boy wants.

It appears that we're going to be spending the night when we go to LEGOLAND next week. So Aaron had to take 2 days off of work, but it's okay. It's going to be a very long day and I think it's the best way ~ no one's going to want to drive all the way home after that, we'll all be exhausted. That way we can get up in the morning refreshed and then make the long trip back.

Tonight we're supposed to go exercise again, and I'm hoping we get to. I don't know what the weather is doing today, but I hope it just stays cloudy. We really don't need any more rain ~ there's standing puddles of water all over the backyard.

Well, gotta go take care of the animals and then get dressed to go out. Hope everyone has a great Friday! Ciao!
