Today was the first day this week (since Monday, anyway) that it was just me and my girl, hanging out. I could not get myself motivated this morning so this afternoon I threw some clothes on us and we went to the store to walk around. She was looking So 80′s and I just had to get a snapshot of her outfit.
We were only in the store for less than an hour but when I put Zoey in her car seat to leave, she was acting whiney and fussy. Luckily, I know better than to leave the house without a sippy cup of milk so I handed her the cup and she was a happy camper after that.
On my way to Sonic happy hour I looked in the rear view mirror only to find that her Cool 80′s Headband had fallen down over her eyes. She was turning her head from side to side and when I looked back up after a few seconds, she had given up and fallen asleep! Hah. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that but by time I got to Sonic, she was awake again! I reached back while I was in the drive-thru and lifted the headband up. She started cracking up laughing. She’s got a sense of humor, that girl.
And one of the best things about summer, besides cute headbands, capri tights and sleeveless shirts is…. SONIC HAPPY HOUR!!
There is something SO satisfying about looking at your phone to check the time while you are out running errands, only to find that you still have time to make a mad dash to Sonic for a happy hour drink! I wont lie, sometimes I plan my outings around Sonic happy hour! More times than not though, I just get lucky. On the flip side, there is not many things worse than looking down at your phone to see it is 1:30 or 4:15 (Happy Hour is from 2PM-4PM, 1/2 price drinks and slushes!). The sinking feeling you get in your heart is something you wont ever forget!
I love my little girl and I feel so fortunate to spend days like these with her. She makes me smile on a daily basis and I can’t remember what my life was like before she entered it. She has turned Gene and I’s world upside down, in a good way.

She is adorable in her retro gear!
I know the feeling–my world has also been turned upside down in wonderful ways. I endure my hardships of being a single parent, but overall, it’s a much more satisfying experience.
