Late night blues

I'm feeling rather pathetic tonight. I'm having a hard time with DH working late. I hate going to bed by myself and feel kind of lost. As a result, I'm getting into the habit of late night eating to compensate. I find it sad that I know the problem yet still suffer from it. I thought maybe I'd call him before bed...but he's not reachable tonight (working inside the tanks). Then I thought I'd sleep with one of his t-shirts...very high schoolish...but maybe worth a try. I know it's a temporary but still hard to take.

In other news, I had a good day...not incredibly productive with the chores but I did cook a chicken dinner, with dressing and veggies. MIL made her killer gravy when she got home. Yum-oh if I do say so myself! I went into work today too for a pension plan session...just an update from Manulife. I'm really glad we had it cause it opened my eyes even more about changing my investments. Tonight I'm going online to switch it up, really easy. While at work I met with the boss. He told me about all the change we're going to make since we're splitting. Still no confirmation on where we'll be but it looks like we'll be on the Halifax side for sure near Fairview. Love it!

Well, I'm gonna hit the sack, accompanied by his t-shirt, right after I do the investment stuff. Have a good one.

Productive Monday

So far my day has been off to a great start! I'm trying to get DH used to getting up with the girls...didn't go extremely well. He just laid there in bed, E crawled in with him. I told him to get her dressed and he said, "I thought they didn't have to go to daycare till 9." Yes, that's true, but she needs to eat. Whatever, anyway, I got L up, dressed and fed. DH did get E dressed in the end and I got her breakfast. After he was up, he entertained them and drove them to daycare around 8:30. Meanwhile, I got their baby books up to date (got some pics printed yesterday). After the girls were gone, the 2 of us went back to bed....and slept till noon!!!! Don't virtually slap me...I honestly can't tell you the last time I slept in that late. If I get to sleep in till 9, it's gravy.

We got up, had a leftover lunch and DH thought he'd check out the roof vent. The one we have has a bad baring and needed to be replaced since last November. Good news is he thought he'd need help but he went up and it literally took him 10 minutes max. HURRAY! While he was up, he looked at the gutters...which are in bad shape. Really, they were just in need of a good cleaning...so he took them down and we scrubbed them...what a difference. We still need to get the front ones done but it took no time. Tomorrow we may get it, or tackle the garage. I have a meeting in at work so we likely won't get anything done in the morning.

So we had a nice wknd too. Sat we stayed in, watched movies, and played with the girls. Yesterday I took E to Taylor & Devon's b-day party at Clay Cafe. It was really fun. Then in the p.m. we just relaxed and tidied up a bit. Well, I better run. DH's going to drop me off at Curves on his way to work. Then MIL's picking me up, pick up the girls, supper, bath, bed and do it all over again tomorrow. Anyway, hope y'all had a great wknd! TTFN!

Disconnected

My goodness, I missed you!!! Our computer's having troubles but DH deleted a bunch of stuff and it "seems" to be working okay (fingers crossed).

So today I was out scrapping...8 pages done in our 2008 album. So much fun! And I'm working with one power palette so it all matches...and I'm very matchy poo-poo. :) I can't believe I actually got through the day! Both girls were up last night, unusual in my house. E woke twice with bad dreams, L woke once for an early morning feed...she's been sick. In fact, she threw up twice yesterday and twice today. Daycare asked to come get her so DH did since I was scrapping (he had to call off work for the day...hurray!). Something's going around at daycare so they've asked me to keep her home tomorrow...so much for my free-for-all day. :( I may however go out and get the groceries and leave DH home with L. Oh, I also have to go to Curves so maybe I'd drop E at daycare and do everything at once.

So, other than being sleep deprived, not much else is new. We're gonna have supper and Daddy's gonna make a fire for us tonight. And I promised to take E in the bubbly tubby tonight too. Well, better get going and have supper. Hope y'all are doing well!

TTFN!

Friggin' computer

Sorry I've been absent. My internet is down on my computer...though working on my MIL's...so I'm able to blog about it. Had a good wknd. Really nice to have downtime with DH and the kids together. So far both girls are handling daycare very well, I think. E gets upset when I tell her it's a daycare day...but once I explain that Mama, Daddy & Nana have to go to work and she'd be home by herself, she's okay with going. I love this able to reason stage. :) L isn't upset when I drop her off...not a little bit...but she's having trouble sleeping. She's only had 1 day so far where she had both naps in a day. Normally, she's getting just a 1/2 hour all day...she comes home cranky, we feed her and get her to bed. Not the ideal situation. And then at night, she has a restless sleep...waking often. It's such a sin but I know this is an adjustment period.

I on the other hand am enjoying this time off. Yesterday I scrapped at Shay's. Today I visited a gal from work who had a new baby. And it's nice just to do nothing in particular. Had a very relaxing bath after lunch. Now a bit of laundry to fold and some TV time before I meet MIL to get the girls. BTW, with all my scrapping time, I did L's first year album from Dec-July!! I think E was 2 before I got that far with hers. :) I'd get more done but the friggin' pics are on the friggin' computer with no internet. UGH! At least I've got our 2008 album to work on. And I have to do my mini-picfolios (wallet pics). I'm going to Beth's Thurs to work on those projects. Well, I guess I better run. Hope y'all had a nice wknd!

The Evolution of Me

I never saw myself as a person holding a grudge, or unforgiving. Guess I chalked it up to self preservation. I kept away those who hurt me and held on tight to those who loved me. But as time is passing, and likely cause I'm getting older/wiser (take your pick), I'm learning to forgive.

First it was the childhood chum who didn't "come to my rescue" when I was in the big new city all my myself. Then tonight it was the junior high friend who wasn't always a great friend to me and my other BF...who's forgiven her wrong, but I couldn't let it go. Now I'm thinking of others to add to the list...but how far do I go? Do I need to tell them all, even if they have no clue I'm harbouring this hurt? There are 2 in particular from my past. One who wronged the man I love, and another who wronged me, making me feel inferior, not good enough and just treated me badly. Maybe it's an exercise for a journal...not a direct letter. It's not like I'm looking for validation or something from them. I just need to let it go.

A lot to reflect on on a late night. Food for thought for all of us. How many people have wronged you...and how have you let that hurt change your being? Why do we keep hold of that hurt? Are we afraid of who we will become if we let the hurt go? As Dr. Phil says, "What's the pay off?" There is one I'm sure. For me, maybe it's because I have this need to be "the victim." Well I don't like it...and I don't want to be anymore. So to those who've wronged me, you're forgiven. I will not hold onto the hurt. I am worthy of respect and love, and you should treat the ones I love in the same way. I am talented and willing to learn, if you take the time to teach me. I am valuable...I am good enough. I am deserving of acceptance in my choices and beliefs. I believe in myself and won't let others bring me down.

Take time to see the value in you!

Scrapping heaven!

Today, miracle of all miracles, both girls slept in!!!!! I was the first one awake at 7:15. E slept till 7:45 and L till 8!!!!!! Wow, it was amazing. Plus, I got to bed at 10:30 and slept really well...except with DH woke me with his lamp on playing video games at 2:30. He turned it off pretty quick though. :) Anyway, I thought I'd be at Shay's early, but as it was I didn't get there till 20 to 10. We spent about 2 hours catching up and scrapping before having a wonderful lunch....THANKS SHAY! It was so nice to visit after our busy summers. And I bought a ton of stuff from her for a steal! THANKS AGAIN! And on Monday I'll be back over for more scrapping. So far I'm probably 20 pages in to L's "1st year" album. So happy!

The rest of the day was pretty good. Got to Curves (down 1 pound and nearly 2 inches over last month). No a huge improvement but truthfully, I've been focused on weight loss just the past week. Oh, and besides, I weighted in last week for that challenge and am down 2.5 pounds (meaning I gained 1.5 the last month before losing the 2.5 last week). Anyway, love the Smart program and think it's just that...smart technology. It's tailored just to me, my workouts adjust to my progress...love that.

After Curves, we picked up the girls. L was running a low grade fever. I got her home, gave her meds and wanted to get supper in her and put her to bed (she only slept 25 mins today at daycare). But mid way through her supper, she threw up what she ate. I told MIL to skip the "meat" jar (has peas and rice in it) and just give her the fruit and veg. I think she still had the rice in her mouth, choked on it and threw up the f & v. We just gave her a cracker in the end. My worry is that the meds didn't stay in her but I didn't want to over medicate. So, put her down, she slept till 7:30. Checked her temp (98), gave her a bottle and put her back down. She cried for a while so MIL went back in and rocked her. So, cross fingers that she'll be well tomorrow. Daycare will still take her as long as she doesn't have a fever over 101.

Well, guess I better run. Hope y'all had a good day.

Not Firing on All Cylinders

I feel like I'm working backwards today. I rushed to get the girls out to daycare and forgot to brush E's teeth, give L her meds and both their teddy bears (Teddy Bear Picnic today at daycare). Anyway, E will live, L has extra meds at daycare and I ran home and back with the bears. Ugh! And it's really starting to piss me off that I can't fall back asleep when I get home. I crawl back in with DH and just lay there awake...frustrating! And I'm finding it more frustrating that I'm doing the morning routine by myself. At least it's only for 3 weeks, then DH can deal with the frustration and be tired on top of it. Wish I could be like him and sleep on a dime. UGH!

Anyway, I'm so cranky cause I also stayed up late. Every night I vow to go to bed at 10 and don't make it...mostly because I don't like going to bed alone and end up waiting for DH to come home from work (after midnight). Last night was different though. After the girls went to bed, I organized my scrapping stuff (going to a workshop today and scrapping with Shay tomorrow...YEAH!). I got a great deal done. I went through pics from August and have a file ready to send to print. Got my projects organized so I know what I'm working on. Still need to figure out if I can get ahold of any 2007 pics. I'm mainly upset about losing the one's of E's b-day. We did a flower theme...which I still have the invite for...but no pics of the cake, friends, etc. All lost. I was hoping maybe Shay had taken pics but likely not since I was taking them. That's why I'm more diligent to print off so often. Better to have a stack of pics home waiting to be scrapped than on my computer. I really need to figure out how to burn them on CD.

I also was up for another good reason. L was having a lot of trouble settling last night. She slept for just 25 mins at daycare today. When she got home, I was lucky enough to get supper into her and put her to bed. She was down for about 1 hr & a 1/2. I got her up for a bath, meds and bottle and tried putting her back down at 8...she woke up at 9 and was basically up till 10-10:30. Just couldn't settle unless someone rocked her. Poor doll, hope she has a better day.

So after I went through my pics I noticed one of me on the beach. I charged all kinds of feelings in me: disappointment, sadness, disgust...and also pride, that I was brave enough not to worry about what other's though because I wanted to play with my daughter on the beach. After I'd wrapped up my projects, I took my journaling book out. I reread all the notes from my Food Addiction book and started over. I think I've been afraid to work on it because it requires work. I put my head in the sand wishing the weight away, but it won't go anywhere if I don't do the work. MFMegan told me about a weight loss goal she reached the other day. In her mind, she doesn't see how it can be motivating to others, but it truly is. I see her do the hard work and she's getting results. I also see her struggling at times, but she keeps going. I need that in my life too...instead of wearing blinders.

Anyway I'm gonna try lying down one more time...or maybe the bubbly tub again...mmm...that sounds better. TTFN and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!

Mommy time!

I'm so enjoying this time off...once I got over the whole emotional part of it. DH & I had a great time doing guilt free shopping yesterday. Nice not to have to hurry home and relieve Nana. :) Today I'm into relaxation mode. Got a bath in my bubbly tub and heading out soon for a hair cut/colour. Keeping the same style, just adding some highlights. Gotta look good before I got back to work in a couple of weeks. I love how my social calendar is filling up. Tomorrow I'm visiting a gal from work (just had a baby boy, Jack) then scrapping @ Beth's. Thurs I'm scrapping @ Shay's. Fri is open...might be getting together with Megan. Sat I have Myrn & Bruce over for BBQ. That's all for now...but that's enough. I'd like DH to have lots of time with the girls on the wknd so I'll leave Sun open.

Anyway, gotta run, get dressed and head out...love jammie days!!! TTFN!

Best day ever!

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this before: had a friend in college and asked him to be friends on FB, got no response, was really upset since we were such great friends. So, last night I was browsing FB and checked out his profile...was surprised anyone could look through without being friends. Anyway, his comments were so funny, just like I remember him. Witty and sarcastic...but not in that rude way. I could help but message him and ask why he didn't want to be friends. Turns out it was for great reason...which I'll leave out...not important to the story anyway. So now we're friends and I'm elated to reconnect with him...the start of my great day. The second part is being home with hubby before he goes to work...enough said.

I did well this morning...pretty well anyway. Emma wasn't fazed one bit about going to daycare. And Lily was oblivious to me going once her teacher took her. Guess it helped they had English muffins ready for her...she can't resist! :) Once they were settled, I broke down. I didn't want Emma to see me upset so I waited till I was out of site. Wendy, one of the teachers, gave me a hug. I saw another parent laughing...they know, we've all been there. And I've been there already. No need for me to get sad...but I did. Anyway, just glad I got through the day without losing it. It also helps being busy...getting some errands done: paint for our bedroom (WHOOO HOO), C'mas gifts for the girls, and new glasses for DH.

Well, gotta run. Hope you're doing well. Will chat with ya tomorrow.
~B

Totally oblivious!

That's exactly how L was with me leaving daycare. She didn't even know I was gone. I put her down and off she went to play with no regard to me, where I was or where I was going. It's good...for her. I felt so sad about the whole thing, but she did well. She got through her 1/2 day really well...the true test will come Monday. Both Thurs & Fri she didn't nap when she usually does...rather waited till she got home. On Monday, she'll be there for the full day and likely won't be able to hold it out. She'll be too exhausted. I think her nap times will definitely start changing now. Aside from daycare, she's doing so so with her ear infection. At night it's worse. She's too cranky to stay awake but doesn't dare go to sleep. Makes for an interesting evening. When in doubt, the tub keeps her happy and busy.

I had a pretty low key night once L went to bed. E & I watched one of her movies...she cuddled into me...really nice. DH's working nights still so we have to make due with a bedtime phone call. He's also working OT this wknd...double shift on Sunday. I feel sad for the girls cause they're starting full time daycare Monday and we won't get to see them much. Still, we need the $$ and it could be short lived if he gets laid off again. I'm just trying to get through the day with this cold...seems worse tonight. I'm drugged up and happy at the moment. Anyway, better get to bed. Have a great wknd!

Trying times

Today L made out wonderful at daycare orientation...only wish I was the same. I did alright but I could tell I was very anxious. Certainly not at the level of care she'd receive. And not if she would be safe or happy. Just that she doesn't need mama 24/7. That's really what it is...that although I'm her mama and no one can replace that, someone else can fill in from time to time. The whole experience is so two sided. On one hand I'm so excited to go back to work, be creative, have fun, be social. On the other hand, I'm so sad that I'll only get 3 or 4 hours in the day with my girls. I know I'll get used to the idea...it's just hard at first.

Tomorrow L goes for 1/2 a day and I'm unconsciously frantic. After an evening watching TV, I look down and my nails are chewed to bits. The separation anxiety really is all about the parents. Face it, when she grows up, she won't remember day 1 of daycare. Honestly, I have no memories before the age of 4! So everything both girls are experiencing in the present will just be a blur in the future. Except for me. I get to remember the heartache, the guilt, the anxiety, the uncertainty, the feeling that I'm not good enough cause I couldn't stand staying home full time with my kids. It's a lot of pressure. I just hope my memory fades as theirs will.

Anyway, it's late. I'm beat and nursing a cold..from L. I'm sure everything will work out...just wish I could skip all the yuckiness of it.
~B

Not according to plan

Today was L's first orientation at daycare...but it didn't happen. I took both girls in for routine weigh/measure appts at the doctor. Low and behold, L has an ear infection...her first. So that explains the 2 hours of trying to settle her for a nap yesterday. Gosh, I hate when you find out like that...you feel like a bad parent. I wondered if her ears might be bad but thought it was teething. Should have known since none are visibly coming through. Oh well, onto her first round of antibiotics. Hopefully, she will fair better than E did. She must have been on antibiotics 6 times in 8 months...hense the tubes. Anyway, because of the infection, we have to skip today so L can get the antibiotics in her system. Tomorrow's orientation can then go as planned.

Both girls are doing well in their growth. E is in the 95th percentile for her height and 90th for her weight. It's almost comical cause L is in the 25th percentile for both weight and height. :) She's healthy and solid...just a tiny girl. She's 17 pounds...but that's not much for a 9 month old. I'll say it again. I have no idea how she's so tiny in this big pants family. :) After the appt., I ran to Superstore for L's meds and I picked up some tylenol & motrin and transition formula. I tried her on milk the last 2 days but she didn't do well with it...so I thought...probably just the ear infection. Either way, I decided to keep her on formula till she turns 1. I'll get her onto the transition formula once the regular runs out (this/next week). I don't remember if I used it for E...she breezed into milk easily. But where L started eating late, it's probably better to wait. Gotta trust your intuition.

I'm really tired today. I thought all along that L had a cold so it didn't surprise me that she was off yesterday. Then she woke again last night at 9:30 (up just 5 mins), midnight (up for 1/2 hour) and 4 (left her there till 5 since she wasn't crying). I fed her at 5 and she went back to bed till 7:30...had to sort of wake her up to get to the appt on time. Then I couldn't feed her breakfast since we had to get to the doctor...she didn't have it till 9:30...then bottle at 11:30. Then down for a nap but I hear her now. Guess I'll try to give her lunch soon...but all I want to do is go to bed!!! So tired. Maybe I'll get DH to watch her while I sleep...mmm...sounds good.

Well, hope you all have a great day!

When being a LOSER is a good thing. :)

Curves is having it's own 8 week Biggest Loser challenge. I don't think there's any reward at the end...other than losing weight. Still I thought it might be the motivation I need to get going. Today I got through with very little sugar. Healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner. Only exception was in the afternoon. L had a bad spell. I was trying to start her onto homo milk (with daycare starting next week). I think it's giving her troubles. She cried for 2 hours wanting desperately to sleep but unable to. We gave her tylenol, ovol and in the end, she fell asleep on my chest. Poor doll! Anyway, DH was home during the ordeal and I was stress and wanted sugar. He lovingly brought me a teaspoon of "nutella" with peanut pieces sprinkled on it. Of course I'm thinking my whole day is ruined. Truthfully, it isn't that bad. But what is bad about it is that I'm using food to sooth...even if it's just a teaspoon. Anyway, I did see it as something nice he was trying to do, although a bit misguided.

So, in this challenge we make a goal for the 8 weeks. I chose to lose 15 pounds. I hate putting numbers to goals like that because if I lost 14.9 pounds, I see it as a failure. My head is full of negative talk: 15 pounds is a drop in the bucket, you have SO much more to lose than that....what makes you think you'll do it this time...you're gonna fail like all the other times, why bother. It's hard to shut out the noise. I really must read my book tonight although I just want to crawl in bed and watch TV. I know it's not productive at all. I'm making a deal with myself...just a 1/2 hour with the book and then I can rest my brain for the night. I'm also a bit anxious cause I foolishly booked Dr. appts for both girls tomorrow FOR 8:30!!! And it's L's intro at daycare. Wish me luck!!

Nighty night!

Ramping up for a routine life

After being on my second mat leave, I think I figured out why I have so much trouble getting through it...and why I can't wait back to work. It's the lack of routine. Sure, you can try to build a routine but it's much easier when you have a place to go to rather than working one out at home. I have total admiration for mother's who can do it and do it well. I often think of my own mother staying home with 3 kids and us being her life. And I feel a great deal of guilt because I know I can't do what she did. I feel lost at home. So much focus is on the kids and nothing's left for me. I feel down (not quite as serious as depression). I don't take care of myself. I feel there's no time for me. By the time the day's over, all I want to do is zone out...turn on the TV, veg, and ignore dealing with me. And now that DH is working late, I feel even more distant with him. Yes, we have wonderful fun and good times but we don't talk much and I'm feeling disconnected. *sigh*

My hope is all that is going to change this week. L has daycare orientation Wed-Fri and next week both girls start full time. I am esctatic. I know it sounds bad but I'm SO looking forward to getting me back. I'm going to work out every morning...or not and go home to bed. Whatever I want to do. Totally concentrate on me...while being in tears missing my girls (it's a double edge sword). With all that time for me, I'm thinking of getting more serious about my eating disorder. I know it sounds dramatic to call it as such but that's what it is. I have an unhealthy relationship with food and I want to work on that pronto. Curves is doing an 8 week biggest loser thingy. Really informal...just come in 3x a week, follow some kind of eating plan, and do activities outside Curves. They weigh & measure you weekly to see your progress. I'm excited to do it but in a way feel like afraid to...cause I've failed so many times. How will this time be any different? When am I going to reach the time when it all comes off...and stays off for good? I feel like it's such a distant dream, I'll never make it. *sigh*

Lots of sighing tonight. Anyway, just glad to get back to my friends (imaginary or not). :) It's nice feeling like someone is listening and understands. Truly I think a woman's soul mate(s) are other women. Only they truly know the struggles we face. Men are wonderful in some ways...helping more with the physical than emotional (and I mean doing the dishes...hehehe). Women get women and that's why we need each other. And why I need you! Thanks for reading.

It's a conspiracy!

I swear, E & L must talk to each other to figure out how tired to make me. Yesterday, when 3 adults were home, both girls went down at the same time. But through the night, both were up. I got up with E once, DH with L. Then today, E's in daycare. Any time I try to lay down it's like she has radar when my head hits the pillow. Go figure! Anyway, I'm a little frustrated by the whole situation...guess it's prepping me for daycare. At least this way, I'm looking forward to both girls going full time.

I think I'm too stressed out over money to be emotional about the whole deal. I feel we're so far behind again and now just increasing our bills even more with them in full time. MIL hopes to retire by the end of the year, if they offer a package. I fear that won't happen. Anyway, she's offered to care for E part time...which would help the daycare bill emmencely. But who knows when that will come about. Seems like when we need the help, there's a waiting period to get it...but we'll fair way better later than now. Damn student loan. I'm going to see if I'll have enough $$ if I sell my stock and combine it with what's left over in my line-of-credit. It's a sad state of affairs when you have to use a credit source to pay the bills. UGH!

Anyway, bitching about it isn't going to change anything. One day at a time, right? Gotta run and fold some laundry. TTFN!
~B

Back at 'er

Ugh...coming home sucks...when there's stuff to do. My place seems like it's in constant disarray(sp???), which is mind numbing for a organizer. I like everything in it's place but there are 4 other people in my home that aren't on the same wave length. I'm trying to train E and I must say, she's better than her father. We were gone away 10 days and DH didn't notice the mold growing in the coffee pot. I mean, come on. Yes, I know he doesn't drink coffee but you think he'd notice the green fuzz. Or maybe put the dirty baby bib on the table in L's hamper. But no, he doesn't see it. This goes with my whole packing beef from last week. I do the packing/unpacking every trip. I see the mess. I put things away. And DH is the opposite. Makes for a cranky, naggy wife. But DH can't say anything. He knows he doesn't see it so he'll have to put up with the nagging.

Anyway I did have a productive day...went to Curves, got groceries, put away groceries, did laundry...all while poor sick hubby stayed in bed. Wish I had the life! I'd still be doing all those things even if I was sick. Okay, maybe not...but I guarantee I wouldn't get away with saying in bed all day. Well, I've done enough harping. I'm going to skidattle and get back to the laundry.

Later!

Where did the summer go???

We ended the summer with a bang! This will be our last week long trip to CB but it was a good one. Last night we held a surprise 40th anniversary party for my folks. What a blast! They were completely surprised. My SIL said, "If they weren't buckled in, they would fell out of their seats." Earlier in the month, Andrea (SIL) called saying my brother Mike had this idea to have a party for mom & dad. She wondered if we could pull it off...why not? So we did.

The plan was to take our parents out for dinner then tell them we were going back to Mike's for a little get together...when really we took them up to the fire hall for a big reception. We had lots of nice surprises for them...like rose corsages, Dad's sister Brenda and her daughter (mom & dad's goddaughter) came from NB, blown up wedding pictures (one on the cake, one in a frame), a beautiful banner...it goes on and on. We had a great time, and even more fun sneaking around for the event. I told my folks that on Sat night we were staying over M&A's with the kids for a pizza party/sleepover. We made 20 loaves worth of sandwiches, 2 cheese trays and 3 meat trays. It was a busy couple of days but so completely worth it. Mom & Dad had a great time and received some wonderful gifts.

The rest of the stay was pretty uneventful. The weather was terrible so no beach days. E did go for one overnighter with my MIL to Ingonish...which was nerve racking!! I was afraid she would miss me or something would go wrong and I'd be too far away to do anything about it. In the end, she didn't want to leave. Oh, L started crawling...that's big news. She's babbling more everyday. She's eating more too. I thought I'd try giving her some of my peas & carrots from supper and she ate them!!! Gosh, she's growing so fast.

Well, that's about all my news...good thing cause I'm beat! Got to take E to daycare tomorrow and L & I have a chiro appt. Oh, BTW, DH worked on the towers for 1 wk and got called back to the Shipyards. He's on night shift which he likes (4-midnight). It'll be tricky when I get back to work but we'll figure it out. Anyway, gotta go. Nighty night!
