She wasn't feeling well today, but school supplies had to be bought & she didn't want to miss out on the shopping trip. When we got to the store, she was feeling chilled & whiny due to her fever. I asked her if it would help if she rode in the cart, like when she was little. She said 'Yes' & climbed in.

I'm going to do a market research study about some pet product on Thursday. They asked us to bring photos of our dogs, so I took a bunch of photos of Charlie, today.

Here's a photo to battle Miranda's photo from August 10th. This was a really nice truck just packed with what looked like garbage to me...but, I didn't get too close to check it out.

The kids & I were taking a stroll through our "Natureland" when we saw this bee taking a drink from the butterfly feeder that they made.

I applied for a temp assistant manager job at Spirit Halloween last week. Today, the district manager asked me to come in to the Addison store to meet with him. Fingers crossed!

I took the child care kids to a cool playground in Gurnee. They have 4 different play areas with really cool equipment, and this huge sandbox with 2 water stations. Super fun place to spend the day - and it's free!

Nikki, Madi, Lilli and I decided to take a walk in a local forest preserve after dinner. But, the killer mosquitos turned our stroll into a super speedy power walk. We could barely stand still to take this picture. We decided to come back in the fall.

This picture was really from yesterday - this is a hairdresser that used to do mine and my moms hair years ago - He flew in from Texas for vacation and came out to do our hair.

This was a car that was parked next to me - it was literally filled to the top of the car with *junk*....
