Poor little guys had runny noses, endless sneezes and coughs all day, but as usual, they were mild mannered and had winning attitudes-such a blessing! I hope they feel better because there is nothing worse than not being able to make it better/easier for those you love when you know they are in pain. Even with their stuffiness and sickness, there is something so lovable and endearing about these two little gentlemen (no matter how much goober-ish glob comes outta their noses)! I just cuddled with them all day (except for the hour we went to the park). It was in the low 60s today and even though it was sunny, it sprinkled a little this afternoon. Got off on time again today. Had some fun planning a special birthday/housewarming surprise for my friend Kristen for tomorrow. I've devised a two hour escape for her to initiate her into her new surroundings and the important things she should know about and where they are located. Excited to send her details tomorrow morning. Stopped at my former boss's house to put out their garbages and collect their mail while on vacation after work today. They are in Florida for the week doing Disney.
When I got home I made some tacos and took out the garbage. Talked with Mom until Tony came home at 6:30pm and then we had some fresh chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Watching a FRIENDS dvd where Rachel is about to go into labor...hmmm...I hope I'm not in labor for 47 hours like her!!!
Having a little heartburn today, but nothing I can't get over. Hoping I don't get sick like the boys...I've been using a lot of antibacterial hand wash. Time will tell.
I'm becoming more aware of the fact that even though I'm not a mom YET, I do the mom thing that always used to bug me and that I swore I wouldn't do...I say things (automatically and without any concious thought to it at all) more than once, in rapid succession, altering the second and third version ever so slightly for more effect. Case in point...I was talking to J at the park today and said (with no time for his response in between sentences), "Do you want to go for a walk? Do you think we should walk on the trail? J, are you done playing so we can go for a walk with your brother?" I didn't even give the boy a chance to respond before asking him the same question THREE times. Since when do I not think it is possible to ask a single question and get a response? I even found that I do that with Tony now...outta habit. I do it with little M, too. Even though he doesn't talk yet, and even though I expect no reply from him when I talk to him, I say things in a couple different ways. I thought that if anything, this wouldn't happen because I was aware of it being something that bothered me and if NOTHING ELSE, it wouldn't happen until I was AT LEAST A MOTHER...I guess I have failed...what else has happened to me while I wasn't watching? Does anyone else have this problem? Is there, BY CHANCE, any of you that suffers from this multiple statement syndrome and who is NOT a mom already, or am I the ONLY ONE? Again, lying to make me feel better is appreciated.
Kick chart has been completed (again, under ten minutes, little girl). Read my daily devotional for "40 days of purpose" again and am getting into it. Now I think it is time for a shower and then bed. Another nice day-especially because I was able to stay cool.
Grateful for friends, family, loved ones...and a healthy little girl kicking all day to let me know she's doing okay.
