Here I am

Thanks, guys, for missing me. I am fine. All is well. I have just not even gotten to the computer for more than five minutes. Yesterday was Kid Day. We started out at the park, where my friend Lisa and I walked and the kids played and ran around on the grass. Then we went to the library for story time. Then we went to the mall and had lunch at Red Robin. Then we went to the play area at the mall and the kids played. We ran home and got Jess ready for ballet and dropped her off there. Rebekah and I went to the store and Albertson's was having an 8-hour sale. I spent $71 and saved $93. No coupons! Well, two coupons that they had in the aisle. I did good! Then we went back and picked up Jess and went home and had teriyaki chicken (marinated for two days), steamed broccoli, carrots and zucchini and steamed rice. Yum! I didn't get to the computer! The day before was much the same. No computer! Today I will be home most of the day, except for Rebekah's ballet lesson. She is so cute in her little ballet outfit. Jessica looks like a mini-ballerina, Rebekah looks like she swiped her sister's ballet outfit for dress up. It fits her fine, it's just she doesn't do much. Last week her teacher sent her out of class because "Rebekah wants to lie down on the floor instead of dance". Hmm. We had a little talk and sent her back in. I don't think she is a born ballerina. Jess is. She is graceful and loves to dance. Her only problem is that she wants to do it HER way instead of listening to the teacher. But she is getting much better! No complaints from her teacher in WEEKS! My baby is growing up!

My friend Mary is having her baby today. She called me last night to tell me she would be going in this morning at 6am! She was like 2 1/2 inches dilated yesterday when she went for her appointment. Maybe the dr didn't want to have to be called over the weekend? Anyway, he is a good dr (the same one I go to) and very nice, so she will be in good hands.

We still don't know what the baby is and they have not definitely decided on a name! She said when they saw the baby then they would see what he or she looked like and pick the name from their list.

We will go see them at the hospital on Saturday. Such fun!

We are off to ballet at 10am today, then waiting here for Fedex to deliver eight Pampered Chef boxes and the delivery company to deliver the lower foundation for the bed. Three inches lower - so I shouldn't have to take a flying leap into my bed because it is so high. No joke.

Speaking of the bed, it is VERY comfortable. I don't wake up in the middle of the night when I turn over. Actually I don't wake up in the middle of the night at all anymore. Scott's mom came over on Monday and she wanted to try it. She said she could easily sleep on that and that it didn't hurt her back. It is comfortable.

The kitty is doing very well. He sleeps on Jessica's bed all night. He is feeling much better now, too. He was playing with the girls a lot yesterday. They cut off pieces of curling ribbon and walk around with it trailing behind them and he chases after them. And he can go from that to curling up in your lap and taking a nap. He is really becoming a part of the family. And he is really cute. When you talk to him, he meows back. Then purrs. Really loud. His cold is almost gone. He still has a little cough left. May take him to the vet just to make sure it is all gone. I will see how he is next week.

So all is well and I am fine. Sorry that I haven't written. So much for my resolution! That didn't last long! I will still try to write as often as I can. But don't stop visiting if it isn't every day! Have a great day!
