My happiest moment today:

P1097

After a long hot day of moving odds and ends ( cause the floors aren’t done ) AAA and I had Chinese food and fortune cookies, I had a hard cider – he played with his Thomas the Tank after dinner.

Followed by folding clothes and bath time. Good to relax when I’d been so busy with the houses.

My happiest moment today:

Getting all the appliances to the new house today! That meant me unhooking my washer and dryer, renting a truck and moving them in 92 degree heat. I also took the Hungarian iron gates to the new house. So it was my first real load of stuff to the house.

Tomorrow the appliances get hooked up.

The floor is still a wreck but maybe by next Thursday all done?!?!?

My happiest moment today:

P1064

Finding color swatches in my journal from 2007 of a taupe and blue that are perfection. I love my journals.

Special thanks to Nes for letting me prattle on because it jogged a memory of him and the Irvine condo, and it was exactly what I needed.

Eating grapes on my bed with AAA. Then we played – wrestled, pretend falling and face plants into pillows. All without the lip gushing open (see yesterday’s post for details on that)

My happiest moment today:

Was right after my most stressful. The doctor told us that it was very close to needing a “lose” stitch … But we could skip that and be careful the next 24 hours.

I got a call from day care and AAA had fallen on a step and bitten into his bottom lip. His 4 front teeth punctured his lip in 4 places. One is very deep and was millimeters away from a lose stitch to close the top but remain open so it would heal properly. Instead it will ooze a day and I’m to be vigilant against infection.

This kid’s gross motor skills and all-boy-get-into-everything are going to keep me busy for the next 16 years.

My happiest moment today:

Putting Adam in bed with me at 6 AM when he woke up and getting another hour of sleep. Ahhh – sleeping in.

Of course it meant AAA was not tired at nap time. Life’s full of little trade offs, isn’t it?

Going through my pictures with Adam, for almost 45 minutes, and hex was engaged. I mean, I have 1600+ and most are of him so why wouldn’t he be interested. We had frozen juice pops to beat the heat too.

Dining out with my favorite person. He’s really good in public eateries and we stayed over an hour. There were moments of real conversation too.

My happiest moment tonight:

Rough housing on the bed. Lots of diving into pillows, tickle spots, giggles and falling over. Even some kisses for dad.

My happiest moment today:

Waking up knowing exactly how to lay out a work budget “thing” – finally getting people to see reality even if they don’t like what they see.
