michelle has been taking 'toddler ballet' classes each thursday and we usually go to tselogs after her class. but today, she wanted to go to the supermarket...so after her class ended at 4:15, we headed to
for some bit of grocery shopping. when i pulled into the parking lot, michelle let out a squeal, 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!' when i asked her why she was so excited, she said, 'cuz we're going to the supermarket!' well, she's not really looking forward to the supermarket but the disney shopping carts that they had at the supermarket. our local safeway had 3 disney car-shaped shopping carts with small tvs in them. michelle can pretend to drive while watching mickey mouse clubhouse, handy manny or special agent oso. michelle was out of luck our last two trips to the supermarket since all the disney carts were taken. i'm sure she was praying the carts would be where they were parked when we walked in and sure enough, there was car number 3 waiting for her. 
so i shopped for a few things and walked past the frozen food section when she insisted on going back to one of the freezers. she pointed towards the frozen fettuccini alfredo and said, 'mommy, i want noodle-y nooodle!' i told her i'll get her pasta roni from another aisle and 'cook' the fettuccini myself.when we got home, i cooked the pasta and we ate dinner- the pasta for her and tortang talong for mommy (no rice!). after dinner, i baked a few pies for tselogs and an extra one to take to work tomorrow. while the pies are baking nicely in the oven, i worked out for 30 minutes on the elliptical, watched tv with michelle, took a shower, and now winding down with michelle before going to bed. i did all these after work and it's only 9 pm.
i wonder...if i ask to work from 630 to 230 pm on most days, will my boss say yes??? i feel more productive with this schedule and i am able to spend more time with michelle. when i get off at 4 pm, it's almost 5 pm when i get home and i feel so drained that i don't really want to do anything anymore.
well, for now, i'll look forward to my thursdays with michelle.
