Another Day

Today was a pretty low key day. I had a chiropractor appointment in the morning. Oooo do I love going there. I feel so much better after Dr. Mitchell adjusts me. After that I get to lay on the roller bed for about 15 min. It is probably the most relaxing 15 minutes I get all day. It's really nice because the front desk people take Isra and play with her so I can truly relax. After that Isra and I went to Whole Foods to get her baby food. I grabbed myself some yummy sushi and a Bottlehouse fruit smoothie for lunch. On our way out we sat in their little eating area and had lunch. Just as I was feeding Isra the girl who lives above us popped out of nowhere and asked if she could join us. I thought it was pretty cool of her, because knowing myself I probably wouldn't have done that. So she sat with us and we chatted and got to know each other. Her name is Ocean, she's probably around the same age as me, also married. They moved to Chicago from Montana for her husband to go to medical school here. We probably hung out for a good half hour. It was fun.

I was checking out my calendar of events and started getting excited, there's a lot to look forward to until the end of the year. End of August is my cousin's wedding in Michigan, then we come back to Chicago for ISNA and right after ISNA we will be going to California for two weeks. Then in October we'll be going on vacation to Florida for a week and in December we'll be going to Houston for TDC inshallah. How exciting! I love traveling. I think I should start doing some research to figure out what things we can do for the places we'll be traveling to.

Oh, I have another goal to add to the list. And I think this one is going to be the hardest one to accomplish...get Isra off the pacifier! I told myself I was never going to use a pacifier for my kids, and here I am giving her a pacifier. I think she's grown attached to it now. There's times where I'll leave her on the bed and her paci would be right above her head and when I come back it's in her mouth! Today we were sitting on one end of the couch and the paci was at the other end. She was staring at it with her eyes really wide and her mouth open as if it was going to fly into her mouth lol. As I brought it closer to her she started reaching out for it, ugh. The pacifier has become her best friend and I'm going to be the one who's gonna have to break them up, sigh. It's gonna be tough.
