A day in the life...

Despite not sleeping after only 3 and a half hours last night I still managed to have a fairly decent day. I did practice more scrabble online and got in a two hour nap. I also did the dishes and still got the kids to school and back on time. I also did not freak out while helping Bear do his homework. Mainly because he had chosen easy books to read for his reading homework. It's when he has words that he has to sound out that the tears sometimes happen. I even got to go swimming tonight. I had a short nap and then a bowl of chicken noodle soup before Raven picked me up. I was not able to drive functionally tonight. Then we went to the wonderful Greek restaurant we had previously visited with Fox and his friends. Yummy.

One particularly nice thing that happened today was that I received my first baby gift for the new baby. Pixie or DD sent me a baby blanket that is a wonderful crocheted pink, purple and green blanket which should be good for either a boy or a girl. Lol. It's not like it is going to matter one way or the other. Smiles liked the blanket and was bugging me until I finally opened both packages. Pixie also sent me a scroll, a little bottle with a skull on it and some more Green Griffon seals from her work at Gencon. Wow. I feel so loved. Thank you DD!

Of course we can't all have good things happen or life wouldn't be exciting. Little B's Mom told me today that she and her family may have to move back to Newfoundland at the end of the month. Which is really sad because I have grown to like her. I always try to see if I can talk to her everyday when we are picking up the kids. But alas I understand life is not always fair. Which means Smiles will definitely have to have Little B over for her Birthday Party coming up in a few weeks. She wants to do a pirate party and I like that idea. I just have to get off my butt and print out some invitations or write them out or something soon. Otherwise no one will come to Smiles party. So Star both Bug and Little S are welcome to come if I somehow do not get an invitation to you in time. Raven already knows and I just have to invite the three kids from Smiles class and our back alley neighbour Little H.

Mostly it just means getting organized and then doing something about it. Like our Nursery! This weekend we at least got the desk out and now just have to remove the boxes of stuff and the last two bookshelves out of it. Then Hubby can bring in the furniture from the garage and assemble everything. I mean to have it done by the end of October but I am telling Hubby in two weeks. We'll see if it works.

Oh one thing I didn't mention earlier that I meant to was that on Sunday as I was cleaning my bathroom for the guests that night I looked up and saw the fan. So I called in Hubby and got him to take it down for me. Wow was it ever dusty. So by the time I was done cleaning the bathroom I had literally cleaned it from top to bottom. And I then promptly had to use it to take a shower from all the dust that had fallen on me from cleaning that fan. Lol.
