A week FULL of updates!

So lots have happened in the last week and a half! Kali started to get over her little cold stuff a couple of days after she got it (thank god, that was scary!) Every once in a while she will have the occasional snot and sneezing, but for the most part, it is almost gone!

Tyson found out he has to work the next 3-4 weeks straight (7 days a week). He hasn't been getting home until after 8:00 each night. But this last weekend, he actually had the weekend off so we decided to have a nice weekend away in Colorado Springs. We left on Saturday and went to the hotel to settle in. Kali instantly loved the hotel (she probably knew we were going shopping!) We went to Babies R US right away and spent several hundred dollars on baby stuff...she isn't spoiled at all. While there, Kali starting making the "faces" that we dread. Sure enough, it was time for a diaper change- we could hear it, smell it, and, well you get the point. Tyson decided to take her out to the car to change her while I kept shopping (I just started throwing stuff in there since dad was gone!) It was about 15 minutes or more later when I thought, "Where are those two??" Soon enough Tyson came back with baby in tote...hmmmm, Kali had a new outfit on. In Tyson's words, "She blew out all sides of the diaper!" **Thanks hubby for volunteering for that one!**

Then it was off to the Mall! Kali was wide awake by then. All the noise and bright lights...that girl was in HEAVEN! Her eyes were huge, she was very impressed! But this was mommy's time to shop!! After the mall we went to Joe's Crab Shack and ate about 4 lbs of crab! We ate so much I thought I wasn't going to be keeping it in! By the time we got back to the hotel, we were all beat and slept SO good! We didn't pack Kali's portable crib, so she curled up between us both and loved every minute of it (she got many many kisses throughout the night from mommy and daddy!)

Sunday, before we left CO Springs, we took Kali to Hooters for lunch (Dad's pick...) I was happy she slept through the whole experience as I feared her being awake...I thought the "atmosphere" may make her hungry (HAHA- I hope you all get that joke).

Then Sunday night when we got home I got a horrible migraine late that night and ended up throwing up for what seemed like hours. I still managed to get up twice that night with Kali for a total of 3 hours more and woke up at 5:30 for work. Not sure what was going on with me...but I think the crab finally caught up with me!! Surprisingly I was fine all day Monday!

Then Monday night I had a post-baby, hormonal, thinking thought. I thought, "I have been blonde now for 4 1/2 years...I am ready for a change." So I went to the store and bought a hair kit for "Golden light brown". I thought, that isn't too big of a change from where I am now. So 25 minutes later I am staying in front of Tyson asking, "Does this look right...doesn't it look a little silver to you??"

After drying my hair, I ran to the bathroom to see the damage I had done! My hair had brown (good), blonde (ok), and greenish silver (BAD) color in it!! I was going nuts wondering what the heck to do and how I was going to show my face at work in the morning. Needless to say I was able to pull my hair in a tight bun the next day (so you couldn't see all the hair) and basically stayed in my office all morning. I called one of our clients, a stylist, and begged for her to help. She ended up squeezing me in later that day. They had to dye my hair a dark red first and then go back and put brown in it (dark brown) to get rid of all the silver ash color. In other words, my hair is not golden light brown, it is medium brown with red in it now. Oddly enough, I really like it. ha! Everyone at work loves it and even Dell said he really liked it! Thank God! Poor Kali looked at me a little strange last night when I picked her up, but she quickly realized it was me and gave me a big smile. Not sure if she was happy to see me or just laughing inside on what an idiot her mommy is sometimes.

Today I arrived at work to find that a girl in my department gave her resignation (for this Friday- as in 2 days!) YIKES! Not a fun place to be in right now, but it could have been worse...I could still have silver hair, still throwing up crab, and all 3 of my girls in my department could have quit....so I have a lot to be thankful for! HAHA!

Let's see how this next week plays out...
