Dinner

At the last minute we went to dinner with Rachel and Marshall and their two very grown up children. We, as usual, had a great time. But I forgot to tell them at the end of the evening that I love them, so: LOVE YOU GUYS!

Clowns

Have I mentioned that I hate clowns? Let me rephrase that: I am terrified of clowns. They absolutely freak me out. Who is with me on this one? I have always hated them, but then I read Stephen King's "It" and never recovered.

98.9

First thing this morning and then later 99.1. I have no idea.

Mundane, but good

I am off this week, which means I get to spend lots of time with Max. We had his 1st birthday party on Sunday.



What a cutie. Max and I left his daddy to nap today and we went shopping. I ran into an old friend at Target. It was nice catching up. She had not seen Max since about August, so she was impressed with what a big boy he is. We then went to Greenlife Grocery to buy some soap. We are trying to do as little chemicals as possible, so we got some Dr. Bronner's (gotta love that stuff) peppermint and some Dr. Bronner's baby. I also got some bar patchouli. I love that smell. I was reminded how much the other night when Dawnia and Travis came over and I buried my nose in his neck when I hugged him. I used it tonight when I showered and I keep sniffing my arms. Yummy!

Tim is upstairs watching "The Godfather." Little insight into my psyche: Way, way, way too violent for me.

Max had a fever of 102.3 earlier, which of course freaked me out. I called the pediatrician and they said to give Tylenol and check it every four hours or so and if it got up to 103 t0 call the on call doctor. He has never had a fever that high. Anyway about an hour after the Tylenol it went down to 99.9, so hopefully he is okay. I am going to sleep in his room tonight, just in case.

Mommy and Max, March, 2007


Like I said, mundane, but good.

Friends

Tonight when we got home and I was putting Max to bed, he smelled like the various people who had held him throughout the evening: Tammy, Rachel, Marshall, Kevin, Travis, Dawnia, Sheila, his daddy. An overwhelming sense of love washed over me. (For those who did not hold him too: Charles and Matt)! Nothing like it guys. Love you all. Can't wait until next time!

Steam Cleaner

Did I tell you I got my steam cleaner? I made Tim use it last weekend. Our carpet was really gross. I hate to think about it. Now I wish we had hardwood. Never happy.

Book quiz

You're Watership Down!

by Richard Adams

Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're
actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their
assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they
build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd
be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.
