1. The sinkhole in our backyard is bigger this morning, the maintenance man is supposed to come back this afternoon to get a better look at it.
2. J saw a therapist this morning and will see a psychologist this afternoon (work related stuff), I'm really surprised she went, she has always refused counseling as a couple.
3. Owl has taken to pooping her pants as a way of giving us the middle finger, what she wasn't expecting was that she'd be responsible for cleaning it up herself.
4. Owl's mental health therapist is talking about ending services for the time being. It makes me happy to know that we've come so far with Owl.
5. Baby boy didn't pan out because of the girls ages but he is going into respite for two weeks if the other fost-adopt family doesn't take him, Owl will turn 3 right at the end of his respite stay and we can take him then. I know I shouldn't but I'm holding out hope that he will be with us, I'm even leaving the crib up for now.
6. A is getting hips, I feel so much loss with all these changes she's going through, I want her to stay my baby forever.
7. I want chocolate.
8. I need a new book, I want to let my mind wander through someone elses story sometimes.
9. I also enjoy smelling books.
10. Apple is testing us so much, she can be so frustrating and cute all at the same time, ugh.
1. I just finished the David Sedaris book Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk. It was darker than I wanted right now. I loved the last story though.
2. Now reading Good Without God and Toddler 411.
3. Had an awesome night out by myself last night - cheap sushi followed by Star Trek: Into Darkness in the schmancy movie theater. I had a big round couch to myself and lounged like no tomorrow, with a box of Sugar Babies.
4. All that relaxation was undone by Lady Baby screaming from 12:30-3:00a.
5. I am moving Mister Baby's crib to the guest room until we figure out how to make this stop. The room is tiny, so wish me luck getting it to fit with the twin bed, desk, and bookshelves already in there.
6. I'm also going to move our bedroom furniture around, just for fun. Need a change.
7. The strawberries in half my garden plot came back, but not in the other half. I treated them exactly the same, and they get the same amount of sun, etc., so I have no idea what happened.
8. Between Jen starting work and not having a reliable car for a while, my networking has totally fallen off. Bleh.
9. Jen has a friend who does all of the business-end work of her husband's record label, writes self-published fiction, gives tours at a local cemetery, and dresses up as Star Wars characters and all kinds of other things to visit kids in the hospital and march in parades. Her life fascinates me. She is obviously doing exactly what she wants, and I don't know many people who are brave enough to throw off society's expectations and just make their own perfect life.
10. Sometimes I think of the things that make me feel brave, and I'm embarrassed at what a pansy-ass chicken I am.
