Preety Toes

"God never gives you more than you can handle... sometimes I just wish He wouldn't trust me so much." This quote from Mother Theresa has been bouncing around in my head quite a bit. There have just been a lot of things going on around here that are pretty stressful. At times I feel trapped, at times I wish that I could just go back with my nursing buddies, where I would be struggling to get through the final semester of nursing school. But it wasn't meant to be for me... not yet at least.

On to brighter things. My amazing, awesome college friend stole me away for one brilliant hour. She treated me to a pedicure and we got a chance to breeze through the mall a bit. It was so fun, I had a chance to just 'be' for awhile, to laugh and enjoy my friend. We bought Tom his belated Christmas present (an air popper for popcorn) got ice cream from Dairy Queen and headed back home.

When Abby saw my toes she got really excited. She kept petting them and touching the fingernail polish. She wanted preeties too so I painted them for her. It was really cute. She kept tip-toeing all over the place, touching them. She was so proud.

Abby hasn't had a bottle all day either, which doesn't bother me since Ive been wanting to transfer to the sippy cup... the fact that she will not drink any type of milk or formula is more something I'm wondering about. She's drinking water but I would still like to make sure that she is getting enough of the vitamins and fats that she needs nutritionally.

But Tom is here with Pizza... I'll be back later to write more on Kiley & Kara.... for now it's time to eat!
