Wine Day

I forgot to mention it yesterday but, I made this recipe for, Honey Mustard Pretzel Chicken. And I'm here to tell you it's delicious!! The only difference I made was using pretzel chips and mine didn't turn out as brown as the picture they posted. Either way it was delicious!! The yummy honey mustard sauce was awesome! I even dipped my brussel sprouts in the sauce. Of course, Madeleine didn't eat one bite :( She just had hummus and grapes. I'm surprised that girl is alive for as little as she eats!
But, Morgan and I loved it. It's a pretty simple recipe but it took me a little longer because Madeleine insisted on holding onto my legs and asking to be held. This happens sooooo much!!!

I don't know if you guys know it but it's National Drink Wine Day!!! Well, normally I don't need an excuse to drink wine, but let me tell you......TODAY WAS THE PERFECT DAY FOR IT!!!

Lately we have been battling teething and random meltdowns. And meltdowns for the most random acts. For instance, we had a meltdown because:

1. I wouldn't let her open the back door to let the dog inside
2. I was brushing my teeth
3. I wasn't serving the grapes fast enough
4. I wouldn't let her play with a poop diaper
5. I wouldn't let her climb the fire place
6. She couldn't reach her puzzle...2 feet away
7-18. ALL RIDICULOUSNESS REASONS

Chick, get it together!!! And for some reason the meltdowns usually happen in the evenings. She's perfectly fine in the mornings and then around the time I'm prepping dinner, it's total chaos. As soon as Morgan walked in the door I poured myself a glass of wine. He kind of gave me a look and then poured himself a glass. Soul mates!

Believe it or not with all the complaining I just did I got a lot of stuff done today. We went for our 3 mile run with interval training in between and played on the beach. It's hard not to take full advantage of the gorgeous weather and scenery.

While she was napping, I started cleaning out my closet, which lead me to start cleaning my jewelry vanity, which lead me to start researching new nightstand tables. This happens to me a lot. I get a little ADD when I start cleaning..."Oh, I'll dust, wait I should clean the windows, wait I'll clean the bathroom!" It all gets done but I get there in a round-about way. So, by the time Madeleine woke up from her nap my closet was a mess! Thank goodness for cartoons, purses and hats! She was entertained long enough for me to finish. And this adorable picture was captured.

I know it may seem like I complain a lot but this little girl knows how to melt my heart! And, I always have my WINE!!! Cheers!
