Baby

One step forward, one step back...

Made chili for lunch...and discovered a giant puddle of water in my basement and a continuously leaking pipe.

Got both children fed, changed and asleep...and ran out of diaper wipes meaning I had to resort to a hand towel.  A hand towel that will now be washed several times.  And maybe only ever used in extreme emergencies.  Or when people I don't like come over.

Went to the puppet show with Samuel this morning...which went well until he pinched two other children with a pair of toy pliers.

Ugh.

Anyway, am trying to catch up on the laundry and also get David to help me hang the new drapes in the livingroom.  And by 'new' I mean 'from his grandmother's house that I have been storing for probably 4 years now and finally have a window on which to hang them.'

And still waiting on my friend Kim to have that baby.  It occurred to me that she was especially thoughtful in her timing, because it means that when she comes to her shower next week I can slack off as hostess because there's gonna be a baby.  And because there's a real live 1 week old baby to snuggle who cares what my punch looks like or whether I got the snowflake garlands hung up.
