One of Those Days

You know the one - where you feel unmotivated, exhausted, and keep having thoughts of switching places with your spouse.

• Jacob won't nap for more than twenty minutes because of a nasty cough, not to mention the fact that he is covered in mucus from hair to sock


• At least seven loads of clean laundry are stacked in every room (except the kitchen)


• It's a typical Seattle winter day - dreary, wet, and dark


• We are out of bread and chocolate
• I made five cards last night and don't feel like any of them are good enough for the school auction I am donating to


• My card blog officially has more hits than this blog


• I ordered two pairs of shoes from Endless.com, but they don't fit


• I've been waiting a month and a half to see my OB about my remaining pelvic pain - they just called to reschedule for March 19!


• I desperately need a really good book

In an attempt to cheer myself up:

• My friend Julie V. is coming to visit tonight & she's bringing her 3 month old baby, Audrey


• I'm getting together with friends tonight - yay!


• My friend, Anna, is taking Erica to her ballet class


• My other friend offered to drive Robby to and from preschool today (thanks, Barbara!)
• The flowers Rob bought me started blooming


• The dirty dishes are all rinsed


• Erica has made our family ten Valentines cards, six of which say "I love you Mom!"


• Robby did puzzles with me today


• Jacob is letting me type while he sits in my lap


• Okay - I have food, clothes, a warm apartment, a car, high speed internet, great friends, and a fabulous family

Robby said the funniest thing today. Picture him in a very thoughtful, serious voice: "I don't know everything. (dramatic pause, furrowed eyebrows) But I know the things that I know." We also spent twenty minutes discussing why Robin Hood (in the Disney cartoon) is not considered a bad guy.
