What a day!!!!!

It is very rare that I take a day for me. A few hours here or there, but a whole Day never happens. I had been counting down to Best and Hottest so whatever the day held at 6pm I was going to be looking at the top baby products and visiting with friends. Then about 3 yesterday afternoon I realized that Oscar noms were going to be announced today. To me it was Christmas, Oscar Noms and Best and Hottest on the same day!!! Then while taking to a friend about said Oscar Noms we realized that we both really wanted to see Revolutionary Road( Great acting and script, but don't go expecting light and fluffy. It is the same guy who did American Beauty). I remembered reading that it was going to be an upcoming Cry Baby movie. SO while we are trying to plan a trip to go see the movie I realize that it is today's cry-baby movie. My friend would only have one of her 3 children today and after arranging DH to pick up son #2 and Grandma to pick up son # 1 and to check to make sure that DH really picked up son #2( amazing how I manage this every day, but it takes 2 of them to do it when I am not around). We have now extended the day to Oscar Noms, Movie and Best and Hottest. Well it just so happens that my favorite lunch spot is right across from the theater and a new independent book store has opened across the street. Add to that TJ Maxx and Marshalls are having a 15 % off sale so I am flying high Here is my day:



Buy a pair of jeans that are 1 size smaller than last pants bought woo hoo

Run into old friend

Visit new bookstore

lunch

Movie

Best and Hottest



So I am just ecstatic taking time for me and having a great time. Jenner even behaves for all but about 5 seconds during the entire movie. I call to check on everyone and of course Jude has come home from school with a high fever.The last time I took that much time for myself James came down with a high fever. So now i feel guilty for taking time for my self. I did go and Best and Hottest was awesome. For those of you in the DFW area with kids check out www.metroplexbaby.com. I don't want you to get pigeonholed and just look for the best and hottest events. I think it is tough for me to decide if I like the stroll-art or the speaker luncheons better.
