This Week's Bests Volume 3

Wow...crazy week! I feel like I've been running nonstop since Monday morning, and not enough sleep + baby with a cold = mommy with a cold. :( Thankfully I feel much better today after waking up feeling like death on Wednesday. I don't think I could have handled much more sniffling and blowing my nose and sounding like I've smoked a pack a day for twenty years. And even though it was a busy (and sickly) week, it was pretty great because of:

Toddler Benedryl: I hope I don't sound like I enjoy drugging my baby, but this stuff saved my life this week. Nora hadn't been sleeping well because she was so congested. This stuff dried her up and made her nice and drowsy. :) Even on a good week I'm lucky to get three full nights of sleep in a row, so to get that when we were both sick was a Godsend!

Certified Volunteer Tax Preparer: It's the nerd in me that is really excited about this :) After spending three weekends studying about filing statuses, deductions and credits, qualifying children, etc., and passing the test that was a whole lot harder than I'd expected, I have my basic certification for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. Come see me at the University next Saturday and I can do your return for you!

I even got a certificate, thinking about framing it... ;)

The Vampire Diaries: CAN'T. STOP. WATCHING. It's driving Taylor crazy.  Whenever I have a chance to sit down and watch something, it's all I want to watch (unless there's a new episode of The Bachelor or Scandal, of course!).  And it's silly, but it's soooo good! I'm probably much more emotionally attached to this show than is healthy.  And for all you other vampire lovers out there, I'm definitely on Team Damon. :)

How could you not be on Team Damon??

Spontaneous Trips: We're going to Anchorage for the day tomorrow! Robby has a basketball game that should be really good, and who passes up a day out of town with the possibility of good food and a little shopping?! I'm putting my vote in for Olive Garden, but if I know my brothers-in-law, we'll be eating at Moose's Tooth (almost as good!).

And now I'm off to bed... or to watch Vampire Diaries... tough decision! ;)
