I am finding that the first week in any month is always busy in our house. Between scheduled meetings, paying bills & the like, it's non stop action. Of course, I've always said that about the second week of the month, so maybe it really doesn't matter. I did get our taxes sent in on Friday and am hoping for something back soon. Money for a get-away? A couple extra car payments? Something for the IRA? Probably none of the above, but diapers for #3 seems to be a realistic plan.
Lars had a cold all last week that got a bit green towards the end, but I think he's on the mend now. You can see by the huge bump on his forehead that he had a good week. He lost his balance at the top of the concrete steps at church as we were about to head out the door. I had my back turned to him, and he fell from the top to the bottom, hitting the top of his head on a step and then his forehead on the concrete floor. The photo doesn't seem to make it look too bad. Of course, Mom and Dad left on a week long cruise to Mexico on Sunday, so I had no one to call for moral medical support. Someday, my hubbie will retire and we'll travel the world again too. Right now, bundling up for a trip to the park can be a challenge!~
Went to a Superbowl party last night at a friend's new house. It was a good time & I actually enjoyed the game while my kids made new friends and tore the house up. Too bad drinking was out for me. I could have used that after my afternoon.
Watched the Wings squander another great lead and continue to fall deeper into the pit of no return to playoffs. That's always uplifting, if you're rooting for all the other teams in the Western Conf.
Lars is starting to say a couple phrases. "Let me in" & "I do it". It may not seem like a whole lot, but major progress for him. He has his 6 month eval coming up later in the month.
Eden wants to live at Zell's house (her preschool) because Zell lets all her (Eden's) friends come over every day. I'm sure that makes sense to a preschooler. I'm sure I'd be happy to hand her over for a night, too. Much more than that, and I'm afraid I'd go through 4-year-old withdrawal.
Went to a Girl Scouts Haiti Relief Bazaar on Saturday. Spent $10 and came away with a box of loot. Clothes for Eden next year, a Tonka tractor for Lars, a Blues' Clues puppet, lots of books and coloring books and three ziplock bags of stickers and loose cards for Eden to put in her desk and stop using mine. Well worth the time spent, I thought. I'm ready for my GS cookies to come, though.
Monday morning now and we're off to a busy start of a week. I won't spoil the fun, but it ends with the preacher going away overnight this weekend for meetings in Casper, which is where being a Pastor's wife, alone in the wild west is kind of hard. Maybe the kids and I'll have a big pajama party with movies and popcorn. Or maybe we'll all go to bed early...hmmm.
