Because I'm too lazy to write a real post
. . . and because it's already past my bedtime, and I still have to pack two e-Bay packages to ship before I can go to bed. I'm trying to get rid of the leftover inventory I have from last year, but this is definitely confirming my decision to quit selling on eBay, at least on any regular basis.
- Baby E is still sleeping! She's slept 8-9 hours at night consistently now since Thursday, and the last couple of days she's napped a lot during the day. I tried putting her down earlier for naps, and that seemed to do the trick. Two naps a day, and sleeping at night--I hardly know what to do with myself.
- This does mean we can't really go anywhere during the day, because we need to be home so Baby E can nap. But that's not all bad because I'm having issues with driving anyway, so it's a good excuse to stay home. I keep panicking when I try to drive because, even though I drive safely and carefully, I can't control the other cars on the road and I have had what seems like more than my share of being rear-ended.
- I'm feeling pretty miserable with either a cold or allergies on top of neck/back/shoulder pain and fatigue from the accident, plus two toothaches. So being able to get some extra sleep is a really good thing. I'm not sure how we're going to work out childcare for all the physical therapy/dental/car repair/insurance company appointments in the next few weeks, but I'm sure we'll figure out something.
- We had MM's birthday party on Sunday. It was very casual, just playing and eating at a nearby park. Lots of family and friends came. It was fabulous. I still can't believe she's 4.
- The girls have been quite well occupied playing with all the new Polly Pockets and Disney Princess stuff since then.
- Baby E stood up for about 30+ seconds, solidly, without falling down. She is getting very close to walking.
- BIL/SIL and their two kids stayed here Sunday and Monday. It was darling watching the kids play. Seeing two little girls and a boy play with Polly Pocket dolls together at the little table while the two babies play together on the floor nearby--priceless!
Cousin J: "She needs a puwse . . . and whewe's hew hat? I need shooz dat match dis owtpit."
MM: "Hewe you go . . . now she tan wide in the caw with dese ones."
AJ: "I'm ready for something else, J. Could you please hand me something else for this Polly Pocket? Here, MM, you can have this skirt now."
- I'm having a lot of fun working on lesson plans for the coming school year. The girls are begging to start doing "real school at home" as soon as possible, so we may not wait until September. We're thinking about doing year-round school with several week-or-two-long breaks throughout the year and a month in the summer rather than taking off three whole months for summer vacation.
- DH and I get to go on a date with no kids this week! This is the third or maybe fourth time since Baby E was born nearly 11 months ago, so it's a very special occasion. I wonder where we'll end up going?

Hooray for date night!
And for boys and girls playing together nicely!
And for Baby E standing!
And I'm sorry about your allergies and panic attacks. Big hugs.
Yeah for date night! I cannot wait to be able to go out for an evening.
I cannot believe how quickly Baby E has grown.
Thanks, Liz and Michelle.
CCW, I hope you get to go out soon too. We always took the baby with us at first . . . even with just the baby, you can still have adult conversations and it's more of a date than if you had all the kids along. Nonami is getting big fast, too!

hey im a regular reader of your blog and ive picked up on your compaints about back / neck pain. i too suffer from these problems - personally i blame sat in front of a computer for 8 hours a day!!
anyway, if you are looking for an effective, long term remedy for your back problems, then may i suggest a new mattress (or to be more specific – an orthapedic or memory foam mattress)
There are a whole range of specialist mattresses aimed at correcting posture and in turn alleviating back and neck pains. The benefits are long-term and you don't need to regularly visit [and pay!] some heavy handed therapist to relieve the pain! i recently purchased an orthopedic memory foam mattress, and i can report, that after a fortnight sleeping on it, i wake up feeling much better than i did when i slept on my old mattress and i foresee a lack of future visits to my heavy handed chiropracter!!
One may jump to the conclusion that such specialist mattress prices are high; however, if you look hard enough, you can find cheap orthopedic mattresses out there. If you are dispirited by the expense, just think of the long term benefits for your health... a decent mattress can last up to 10 years!
