Thursday already?!
I've been busier than normal...but, wow, it's Thursday? This not going to work stuff really throws me off my normal calendar. I slept till 7:51(am of course)today...the kids did too. That's unheard of! I can't get used to "sleeping-in" for the first time in 5 years now - in 7 weeks I'll have a round-the-clock newborn. As of now he seems most active at 3pm, 7 or 8pm, 10pm, and one more time in the middle of the night. 7 weeks. That is it...at most 9weeks, but I know my doctor won't let me go that far past due date. Well, pre-registration is done and the co-pay is paid. So, as long as I can find a way to pull together enough money to pay my insurance the next few months, I'll be ready to go.
I've more than officially pulled professional photographs OUT of the budget. No maternity, newborn, "baby's first year", or any of that. Not even a store's photo studio is affordable right now. So, I'll have to find the time and energy to take enough photos to get some almost professional looking shots.
So on to what we've been up to. We've been home a lot...working on the twins behavior.
Wednesday:
I hooked up the old computer to the kid's monitor, keyboard, and mouse; I also re-installed the old hard drive (after finding a jumper for it).
I also moved about 3-4GB of data to our new computer from the old; the ultimate goal is to move and/or delete everything off of that hard drive...then use it as a spare backup drive.
I got all the dishes done.
We had a neighbor come over to play for the first time - she is 8 and awesome.
We went to the playground 2 times - first in the morning; the twins played, and I cleaned out my purse and the van - second in the early evening; the twins played, and I ate my only food of the day (cheeseburger and fries) and laid back to relax in the van - and I picked up trash on the playground.
Hubby worked 4-10pm...I got a 30 min nap before he got home.
Thursday:
Hubby works 10am-8pm today.
I had a 100 calorie fruit bar around 10am, but I need to find more to eat. I'm thinking tater tots & french fries are in the freezer - peas too. If all else fails I've got tilapia, but I was hoping to stretch that out through next week too.
I unplugged the jeeps and took the wii controller off the charger.
I threw some freezer pops in the deep freeze for the kids later, and I verified the weather would be hot & sunny.
Our neighborhood friend came by to play for a little while. T pitched a bossy-redhead fit outside, so we all came in for wii.
I took T to the dentist (they got me in to the office in less than an hour!) because she had a loose tooth - it freaked me out - she's only 5! It looked a little bruised, and she said she hit it on the slide yesterday, so I had to take her just to make sure there was no injury to underlying structures. The dentist said this is a normal losing of teeth "helped along" by hitting her mouth on the slide, eating corn on the cob for dinner, and eating an apple for breakfast. I feel guilty for not believing her the first 20 times she said things about her tooth. Thank goodness my mom finished that tooth fairy pillow recently!
I need to roll pennies & nickels today.
And I had a bunch more stuff typed here that blogger didn't save - so I'm a bit frustrated!
