Wednesday recap
Well, the Internet is down at our house, so updating will be sporadic at best. We're making the best of it, but hope it will be back on early next week.
The twins got some dad time yesterday in the front yard. They drove jeeps, threw discs, kicked balls, and colored with sidewalk chalk. J got hubby to help on the Incredibles xbox game a little. T spent most of the day on her My Little Pony PC game. She loves decorating cakes on that game! J built a huge train set, then had to move it so I could vacuum.
I got some laundry done. I vacuumed some. I took out the trash. I never tackled the aquarium, but there is always today. I have felt like I'm physically overdoing it, so I've been resting with the kids and watching movies more. I got a decent nap last night, but then stayed up past midnight. I ate plenty of food too...tuna salad with bread and crackers, all-bran strawberry medley cereal, tropical fruit sherbet with strawberry syrup, cinnamon toast crunch, mozzarella bites, and a touch of strawberry applesauce. I never got out of my pajamas or left the house yesterday - it kind of felt good.
Thursday:
When the twins wake up in the morning, they each have a plan. T always makes her bed before ANYTHING else. J always opens his curtain and pops out of his room to tell me good morning. Then T draws on her magnetic board and plays pretend with her princesses and unicorns. J prefers to read and write. This morning he opted to write in his monthly planner; he marked today' date, colored Alabama & Florida in the map, marked my due date "Baby" with streamers and squiggles too, and he circled his birthday on the yearly calendars in the back.
Now I'm at work copying off personal data to a external hard drive at work. I've got a full day ahead of me including, but not limited to: work - clearing off computer and desk, storage - I've got 6 small tubs of books to put in storage (and I could easily go home and get more), Michael's - I told the twins I will get them some of those blank masks to color (with my 40% off coupon), target - diapers (if they have what I need; I've got a $20 gift card), and somewhere fun for the kids - library or playground or riding bikes or hiking.
Tomorrow I'll try to update again. It will be my last update until our Internet gets turned on at home. Also, since our Internet is out, our phone is out too. And, assuming tomorrow is my last day of work, I'll be giving my cell phone back too. So, please don't call the cell phone after tomorrow morning.
