*sigh*
I ran out of books to read. I hate that. Then that nice man I married tells me this morning that he had put David Sedaris' new book on hold at the library for me, picked it up, and has it waiting for me. It's the little things, you know?
Belly went back to the dentist last week for another baby root canal and a pre-fab silver cap. If he keeps going like this, he's going to have a Lil' John grill going by the time he's 6. I'm sure the kindergarten teacher will love it.
My sister in law is in Mexico visiting my in laws (who will wonder why WE haven't yet gone to visit) and since she's a very nice lady and has watched my children many, many times, we agreed to dog sit for her. She has a black lab named Louise. She's a sweet, gentle dog. Things were fine for a few days. I had picked up all of Eva's toys before Louise came over, as I didn't want them fighting over anything. Well, Louise found a rawhide chew thing and Eva went after her. Eva got a small scratch on her face, which made me very sad. The two are fine again, but I'm a little wierded out.
Yesterday I had a strange feeling. As a mom (and wife, let's be honest) you spend your time doing things for other people, or making decisions based on other people's interests ahead of your own. Cooking, cleaning, deciding what movies to watch, weekend activities, vacations, laundry. Your life is all about taking care of other people. And I'm cool with that. I'm a mom, that's what I do. Suddenly yesterday I felt overextended, and I yelled out there there should SERIOUSLY be more than one mother's day each year.
Not that anyone paid any attention to my outburst.

Oh, I totally agree on the Mother's Day thing! I always tell Hubs on Mother's day don't worry tomorrow morning it will be back to the 364 father days a year :-)

THAT'S THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE READ ALL DAY!! Ha! At least both our sons will be stylin!!! You know my son's has TALL bling-bling in HIS mouth, lol.
wow...still no word on that job, huh? :(
and how sweet of your hubby to know what book you want or the name of a favorite author! That really impresses me quite a bit!
I strongly believe that mother's day needs to be a monthly occassion...or at least quarterly.
The suspense is killing me!!!
Hoping you hear something soon! I would've lost my mind already!
