Highlights of the Day (Tuesday 10.04.2005)

1) Both children slept through the night. It's amazing what a full night's sleep can do for a person.

2) Was thrilled to see Grace was quickly getting back to "normal" after a few doses of medicine.

3) Bribed the children with the promise of a gas station trip for slushees if they'd just stay quiet and NOT talk to me during a 10-minute phone conversation I needed to have with a guy at the office.

4) Was admittedly a bit bummed when they actually listened to me and I had to actually take them to get the slushees.

5) Kitchen Guy is coming at 10:00 AM on Thursday to take final measurements so we can order the cabinets. Words cannot describe the pure joy I feel about this.

6) Took the garbage out to the end of the driveway for tomorrow morning's pickup... while carrying Hannah. (This is normally Steve's "job.")

7) Was slightly annoyed when Steve said nothing about it until I made a sarcastic remark later this evening.

8) Forgave him since he seemed genuinely sorry he didn't mention it and genuinely thrilled that I had done it.

9) Had afternoon sex. Afternoon sex makes me laugh.

10) Hannah discovered this evening that she's a girl. Apparently, braids in your hair are what make you a girl.

11) Made delicious pork chops in my crockpot. (Are you reading this Katherine? Get out your damn crockpot and make some damn food, will ya?)

12) Set up a meeting in the office tomorrow. Yeah. Because that commute is really something I'm looking forward to. [sigh]

13) Realized I should either do some actual work or get my ass to bed if I don't want to look like a complete fool at this meeting tomorrow.
