Two weeks later..

I've been fussed at recently for not updating this thing often enough... SORRY.  When I started this blog, I really didn't expect many people to read it or to care but I get in trouble when I don't write a blog for awhile now (it secretly makes me feel special.)  Well update on life.. I was offered a job the day Charle turned 6 weeks and of course I accepted it.  I absolutely LOVE my job and wouldn't trade it for any other.  Charle also started daycare this week; she only went to daycare Wednesday and Thursday though.  She seemed to do alright but since Wednesday morning, she has refused to poop and she is in some serious pain right now.  Wednesday was the first day she was without me or my family all day and she wasn't too thrilled about it but she's gonna have to get used to it. I think she knew that I was starting work this week and needed sleep because Sunday-Tuesday night she only got up at 4am to eat and since Wednesday night, she has slept ALLLLL night!!!!!!!!!  I was so exhausted this morning that when she got up to feed, I just let her go back to sleep with me in my bed (I also wanted some Charle/Mommy time too.)
As some of you may know, I love to cook and experiment with new recipes or just create my own.  Today, I decided to take on enchiladas.. I would post a picture of them but there are no more left- I guess they were good.  I made chicken last night so I used the leftovers for the filling along with a clove of garlic, a shallot and some cheddar cheese.  Then of course I used enchilada sauce (red and green chili) and put lots of different kinds of cheeses on top.  If y'all don't know this already, learn it, I LOVE CHEESE!! I like every kind that I have tried so far except ricotta (I can't stand ricotta, I substitute cottage cheese in for ricotta in all my cooking.)  I don't really have time to cook anything fun during the week so I enjoyed being able to take several hours to cook today.
I need to get some pictures of Charle this week.. She was dedicated this past Sunday and I had someone take a video of it.  I was going to get stills from the video but for some reason my memory card wants to be a turkey and it decided to show an error reading for this video.  So I have no pictures from her dedication and no video.  I guess I will cheat and put her in her dedication outfit to get some pictures of it this weekend.
