Today was going to be a hairy day, so Chris and I decided that we would need nourishment to provide us with the energy our bodies would require to make it through the day. Therefore, we headed off to Polly's where we enjoyed a delectable breakfast. I had Belgian waffles (with strawberries and whipped cream!!), scrambled eggs and bacon. After, we headed home to relax outside in the patio and check on the grapevine in our backyard. There was a huge grasshopper hanging out on the fence. I screamed and ran away from it. I asserted that it was a locust, Chris just laughed. I was very happy that he took the day off today and that we could spend the day together.
The mood would soon change. We took Ayva to get her physical. When the doctor informed us that she would be needing 5 shots and have her blood drawn I felt extremely anxious. Ayva was brave, however, once the shots were administered she cried and screamed like a banshee! I felt so helpless. I just held her in my arms and told her that it would be over soon. She said, "mommy, it hurts me...please, no more shots." I was relieved when it was all over.
To reward her for her courage, we took her to Mc Donalds for ice cream. Then we headed home. I made linguini with clams for dinner, we ate, watched American Idol and fringe, and called it a day.
Tis all for now.
