Yesterday was a good day

But it started out as a day where it would be better to just stay in bed. I woke up early, with every intention of being at work at 8am sharp. I made it to the living room where I then decided that my head was going to explode. I have bad sinuses, and after an incident involving my nose and our 'loving, sweet' 18 pound psychotic cat, any change in the weather means I am going to be suffering from a bad sinus headache.

So, that ws yesterday morning. I took some sinus medicine and thought of dragging myself into work anyway. Jen told me to lay down and I ended up snoozing for a couple of hours and then woke up good as new.

So, off to work I go. And was it crazy! Let's see, called California three times, sent two faxes, spoke to the Selling Agent twice, left him one message, then made sure my other closing this week (YES!!! Two closings in one week!!!) was properly set up. I then got a call for the buyer, who is a first time buyer and is understandably a bit antsy about buying her first home. I answered her questions and then set up a time to let her into the house she is buying and spent a couple of hours there with her and her mother. B got to go with me and was pretty well behaved, she and the buyers 20 month old had al ot of fun playing chase in the huge, empty house.

My Mom had B. from 2 to 5 and took her to her Violin lesson. In the hour between picking her up from school and her lesson, she took B to Baskin Robins. Of course, B tried to get an ice cream sundae and a Culotta but got a kiddie cone instead.

So, after leaving the home, B and I went out to eat. We went to the Village Inn and she decided she wanted to order breakfast. She decided she wanted chocolate chip pancakes. I, being the good Stepdad, asked her if she would really rather have a meal with some veggies instead. She said 'No' in a way only an eight year old can, so I decided she doesn't always have to eat the best food (but she does anyway) and let it go.

A minute or so later B says:

'You might as well let me sugar up, I'll be with Grandma G tomorrow so you won't have to deal with me.'

You can't argue with that.
