Friday, March 20

happy friday!

don't you just love fridays? even on thursday nights i always think, i can do one more day. it's like i get this burst of energy on thursday evenings because i know friday is coming and then the glorious weekend.

i am typing this, listening to kate in her crib in the next room. she is putting a smile on my face and causing silent bursts of laughter. i wish we had a video monitor in her room, she's a crack up. like now, she's in there by herself, chatting away, singing "whoa, whoa, whoa" over and over again. aren't your own kids the most amazing things? everyone feels that way, or at least everyone should. i know i do.

there are so many things on my list right now, why is it that i don't want to do any of them? why is it that i'm thinking, instead of doing laundry and cleaning the horrific kitchen, of getting out the patterns and fabric for kate's slew of spring/summer dresses? i have made 3 and have 4 more to go. it is so much fun sewing for my daughter - my mom always assured me it would be. so, i'm sure as i wrap up my blogging time, instead of breaking out the yellow rubber gloves and diving into the disaster area, i will instead deny the mess and pull out the old sewing machine :) trusty elna, how i love her :)

have you done your taxes yet? i'm sure the answer is yes. we just finished ours and i guess it pays to be poor - we are getting it all back. 100% baby. it's bittersweet - i'm glad we get all of our refunds but i sure wish we had a higher AGI this year :) i guess there's always next year!

that is all. i'm off to enjoy the start to that glorious weekend! which, if you were wondering, is really extending through the next weekend. weston is going to nyc for his "field trip" (who goes to ny for a week for school???) so i get to ditch my 20 hours of part-time work to go spend the week with my parents. gotta love another break!

3 quick quips:

How fun for you to have a whole week off. I hope you can accomplish some of the stuff that you are hoping to.

I do just love Fridays. And now that it is the dreaded Monday, and it's SNOWING, I am really wanting it to be Friday. I think it might be a long week. Have fun with your parents!

I love Friday's too. And as it's Sunday evening, I am already dreading working tomorrow... Kate sounds adorable, can't wait to MEET her (I can't believe I haven't met her yet) and see you guys this summer (I hope). And I wish I had the desire to sew dresses for my little lady because the thought of spending loads on an Easter dress is painful. And I like to do anything but clean the kitchen, thus I am here blogging while I pretend to not hear the dishes being done without me! Off to feed the kiddo. Miss you, xoxo
