Accomplishments for today: 1. I made muffins for breakfast (from a mix, but it was better than cold cereal) 2. I put a chicken in the crockpot for dinner 3. I put bread in the breadmaker (and plan to put on another loaf when this one is done) 4. I did two loads of dishes (and even washed the nasty skillets that I have been avoiding for the last week) 5. I did two loads (so far) of laundry. 6. I went and paid a bill. 7. We are done with Locksley's schoolwork. (it is almost3, but we didn't start on it until around 11:00) 8. I am getting ready to take the girls out to ride their new bikes. ( I know... technically I haven't done that, yet, but I will!) Things are starting to feel do-able again. Esther is taking pretty regular naps and is not insisting that I hold her all the time. Especially during the day, she is content to sit in her bouncer seat and watch us. In the evenings she is much fussier and won't let Daddy hold her for very long, so that is why I am using the crockpot. I am goingt o try and get dinners prepared in the mornings since that is the easiest time for me to do it. In other news, Esther did catch the horrible cold that we all had. She had it really bad over the weekend and didn't sleep for almost 3 nights. It was horrible. We finally took her to the doctor on Monday. I was real worried that he was going to give me a hassle because she was born at home, hasn't seen a doctor and we weren't giving any vaccines, but he didn't even ask me. We took her to our general practitioner (the same practice, but different guy, who had offered to make a house call when the girls had poison oak). All I wanted him to do was listen to her chest and let me know if it was clear. We couldn't hear very well and she sounded a little weezy to us. But her lungs were clear, so we were relieved and went home. She is getting better, but still has a bit of the lingering cough. I have never had one so little get sick before. Scary stuff! I spent my mother's day holding and worrying about Esther. It was not what I had planned, but couldn't be helped. My parents are taking the big girls to a play and then having them spend the night on Friday, so I think Christian, Esther and I will probably go out to dinner and then maybe shopping. I am really wanting a new sewing machine. My old one broke and the repair man said it would be more than the sewing machine is worth to fix it. So, I am hoping he will buy me a new one soon. I would also like to get some new clothes. I am sick of wearing maternity clothes! I have lost about 32 pounds, so am having to pin my pants to keep them up. I think its time to get some new pants! So, that is what I am hoping to get for Mother's Day. We went to my parent's house on Saturday night to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom and my sister and her family. While we were there, it started to rain. Our german shepherd, Cleo, gets really freaked out at storms. So, when we got home, she had actually broken through my bedroom window (the glass!). She had cut her paws up and there was blood on the window seal and glass all over my bed. She had pulled the mini blinds out through the window and they were shredded to pieces. Since Christian isn't the fastest at repairing things around the house, I have a piece of cardboard taped in the window. Needless to say, I was a bit upset over this. The dog is way to big to go berserk like that. |
