I went and got my passport photo today. Sam’s Club will do it for $4.00. Of course, you can’t just walk out of Sam’s with just a four dollar tab. So I got some garbage bags, tea bags, wine, toilet paper and some Swiffer refills. The lines weren’t bad at Sam’s. I hadn’t been in a while because it’s always crazy. Sorry Alan.
The internet seems to be working at the office. We’ll see in the morning, but I’ve checked some things and it looks like I’m back in business.
Poor Lily – she skipped her nap again today. I don’t know. She needs that nap so bad – especially as the day gets to four, five and six o’clock. By 7pm she’s done. I got done reading her story tonight (a few chapters of Peter Pan) and I was giving her a hug – you know, all the typical good night stuff and she broke into tears. Full sob. “What’s the matter?”, I asked. (Through her sobbing and tears) “Mom-m-m-my forgot to-to-to push back my cu-cu-cuticles”. I told her it was OK for the night and we can do it tomorrow. Then (this is hard to describe, but it’s one of my favorite things Lily does) she has this super forced smile through her tears. The tears stop and she puts on a smile – it’s great.
Diane has Lily babysitting now! It’s only for a minute – but while Diane checks the mail or makes a bed – she puts Lily in charge of Leo. Lily is so good with Leo. She helps him sit up (of course she also likes to push him over) and plays with him and his toys. These two are really going to be something to watch grow up together.
Speaking of making beds – I don’t believe in it. I don’t remember ever making my bed. I don’t remember caring about whether my bed was made or not. It’s just one of those things that I think too much time is spent on. Diane, however, makes the bed EVERY day. Every day. I don’t get it. I’m adamantly opposed to making the bed. By the time I get out of bed, the blankets and pillows are in the perfect spot. Why not just leave them there? It’d sure save me a lot of work the next night getting them just right again.
Ok, I’ll hear from Diane on this tomorrow for sure.
