Hey, it ok...
...to do a jig of joy because that dresser we bought when Claire was only a few months old is now sanded, painted, and in the house. Thank God. Nine dresser drawers for Sophia and Claire to share when they are in the same room. Pictures to come.
...to succeed in almost everything that I've cooked and/or baked in the past few weeks. Here's a list of the latest craving-induced goodies: caramelized apple and almond pancakes, brioche rolls (utter fail because I killed my yeast starter), banana bread, fruit tart with almond pastry cream, homemade alfredo sauce, chocolate cookies, homemade bagels, and french toast casserole.
Claire was a big fan of the alfredo.
...to love spending time with the ladies for Mom's Night Out in Lafayette. It's totally worth driving up to Lafayette for one evening.
...to do another jig of joy because Brett's pilot group and company finally settled and signed their contract. YAY! We'll hopefully be reaping the benefits of that contract soon. Bad news is that we have to enroll for health insurance AGAIN. We had just upgraded to the highest level of health insurance with Brett's company. Do you know how nice it is to know that you don't have a deductible?!?! And now, that insurance plan is no longer offered. Bummer. Looks like we're going to be paying a lot more than expected for baby #3.
...to be insanely thankful that the girls have been sleeping so well at night. I might have to get up with a freaked-out Sophia every once in a while, but all that entails is rolling her back over and tucking her back in. Not a big deal since I'm up to use the bathroom anyway. Now, if I can only get #3 to calm down. I must be really active during the day because this kid sleeps all day and then decides to dance the night away.
...to have a love/hate relationship with Kroger. I dropped by last week just to pick up stamps, milk, eggs, and grapes. The milk was on sale for $1.99 and the grapes for $.99/lb. Neither of them rang up when I was in the self checkout, and the poor lady working all the registers had to go look up the prices for me. I got the lower price on the grapes but no such luck on the milk. Do you think I'd normally pay $2.89 for a gallon of milk? And why was the sign on the cooler if it wasn't on sale? Makes me wonder what other non-sale prices have snuck through on our big shopping trips.
...to renege on the previous "sleeping through the night" statement. Did anyone other than Claire sleep through that insane thunderstorm that went through the other night? Sophia and I were both awake from 12:30 until 3:30 that night. I could hear the rain and wind over the baby monitors. Ugh. I love spring, but come on...
...to love my little pirates.
