Pushy
These kids want to run all over authority. As soon as they can in the morning, they ask to play Wii, and 1 race in they want to play Xbox. After fighting over which game to play, they want to play on the computer. And the inevitable always comes from J, "Can we play the dreamcast?" I'm trying not to let them get to me.
Today is a long day at home - hubby is at work from 10-8, so I don't have to worry about him. The weather looks blah at best; it is 77 and cloudy with a high pollen content and a 30% chance of rain.
I am THRILLED our computer is hooked up to the living room TV - because now I can listen to my music on the surround sound stereo system. Just what I needed!
Our storage check cleared. That's good news - one less bill to pay!
I just used that flea powder in the crib corner...I wore a towel over my face. I tried not to breathe it, but now my chest hurts. I need to eat - maybe that will help me feel better.
Ideas of what I'll do today:

***UPDATE - I feel MUCH better after eating and drinking a sweet tea.
For baby's first load I'm washing: 2 gowns, 8 onesies, 1 preemie onesie (just in case he's tiny), 4 sleepers, 1 kimono shirt, 1 legged onesie outfit thingy, 2 - 2 pc going home/photo outfits(one sleeper & hat; one shirt and shorts), 4 other hats, 3 pairs mitts, 7 t-shirts, 32 pairs socks(might as well do ALL the socks since they are so little), 1 pair rubber pants, 1 infant seat positioner, 7 receiving blankets, 4 flatfold diaper cloths, 1 diaper stacker, 3 waterproof pads, hubby's baby blanket, 2 hooded towels, 2 washcloths, 1 hooded blanket, and 1 burp cloth.
Next baby load will be: 1 swaddleme blanket, 1 baby sling, 1 udder cover, crib sheets, crib bumpers, 1 crib dust ruffle, and 1 bouncy seat cover. And I'll likely shove something else in there if I need to.
I'm going to go take a Tylenol and sit down a minute - I've really been on my feet a lot today. I've got heartburn, but I'll tough it out. Other than being physically worn out, I feel good. I feel like I'm slowly but surely getting what needs to be done accomplished.
