Smooth, with a capital SMOO!!!

Life is crazy right now! I got a job a couple of weeks ago. I am the spa manager at a spa here in town! We are planning to open in mid June and there is so much to do!!!
Alida is now OFFICIALLY 10 months old! She is such a super chunk!!! ^_^
She walks when she wants to, but for now, it's still much quicker for her to crawl. Anthony and I bought her a monkey leash so she can play on the floor and not get away!!! (it comes in handy!)
I am throwing a baby shower for my sister this Saturday and I am SO FRAZZLED about it!!! I have had so much on my mind lately and I am trying to get so much done in such a short amount of time!
Anthony is being an absolute sweetheart though! He didn't give me a hard time tonight when I explained my absent-mindedness to him. (I did a LOT of stupid things today!!!)
Lemme explain... Josie and I hung out most of the day. She was helping me get some things ready for the shower this weekend. Conner (her son) was slightly cranky during the first bit of our "outing", but we suck with it and went to lunch at Arctic Circle and then went to the dollar store. I didn't know you could spend as much as I did at a DOLLAR STORE!!! Among the things I bought were some mylar balloons. After the dollar store, we needed to go to Walmart but the balloons were in the way, so we took them to Josie's house and left the balloons there and gave Conner to Josie's sister, Mandy.
Part of the plan today was to rent a movie... but we couldn't find one that we could agree on. Any that she wanted to see, I'd already seen or I had no interest in them. Any that I wanted to see, she'd already seen. We finally went to Hollywood Video and rented 1408 and Material Girls, then went back to Josie's house to watch them.
After we'd been at her house for a couple of hours, Josie's husband, Dave, looked out the door for some reason and happened to notice that my trunk was wide open!!! It had been since we got there because I had gotten something out of it!!! I can't believe I left it open!!!
THEN... to make matters worse, when I was getting ready to come home after the movie, I put Alida in the car seat and wrapped the balloon ribbons around the door handle (inside the car), then closed the door and got in myself. As I was driving home, Alida was playing with the balloons. I could see her doing it in my rear view mirror. I didn't think anything of it, until I got home... I opened the back door to get her out, and she was STANDING UP IN THE CAR SEAT!!! I had forgotten to buckle her into the seat when I put her in it!!!
Talk about making myself look like a complete and total IDIOT!!!! I am amazed and SO GLAD that nothing happened to her!
I have been feeling kind of wretched since I got home.... which is why I'm online. I'm attempting to cheer myself up. It's sort of working... but I still feel like a prat.
Oh well.
Now I'm gonna go to sleep. I hope I'll feel better in the morning!
Oh, and just a quick note... thanks to EVERYONE who's left comments! I love reading them! Keep 'em coming!!!

I wish I had a million dollars for every day I have been absent minded. I'd have, like, 9125 million dollars... >.>

LOL!!! Yeah, if only! I think that one day alone would be worth at LEAST $100K!!!

A note to readers

I haven't been updating as often as I'd like to be. I find that I just don't take the time to do it.
I will try to be better but no guarantees.
Keep watching for fun photos and videos (and if I can't post videos here, links to them).
We love sharing our lives with you!
