Yay, Morning!

Last night I dropped a glass plate, and caught it with my elbow. Don't know if I could accurately describe how that happened, but that's not the point anyway. The fascinating thing about this injury (yes, injury) is that there is a tiny bruise on my elbow, but it hurts in an entirely different place. Well, maybe "entirely" isn't the right word, but not exactly where the bruise seems to be.

I was also prone to mess making last night. I sloshed and spilled all kinds of stuff that I usually don't. Do you suppose that means something? Like that I need to take a vitamin or something?

I left the laundry in the dryer last night. That was mostly an accident. Our neighbors came over in the late evening, and I forgot all about the clothes until I was too tired to lug them up the stairs, so I thought to myself, "Well, they're done. I'll fold them some other time."

This morning, Abbie said, "I love you, Mommy," without my saying anything first. This is big, important news, in case you were wondering.

I suspect I smell like Chinese food and jambalaya. Chinese food was dinner, and I made the jambalaya for Melanie's pool party this afternoon. It will probably rain, but I've decided that I don't mind.

Ah! Abbie just said, "Love you, Daddy!" to Josh. She's on a roll.

I cleaned the house yesterday, but it's trashed today. That's largely due to the neighbors who showed up at 7:30, but also to Josh, who was working on the entertainment center and tracked a whole ton of sawdust into the house. We actually had to make an emergency run to Lowe's yesterday, and since it's all the way in Wentzville, we stopped for lunch, too. Me and Abbie walked around Target while the boys went to Lowe's, and that was fun, but I got tired. It seemed to be taking a very long time. Then, when they finally showed up, I found out that the reason was that Grant stopped to do the Lowe's kids program, where they make stuff out of wood. He made a little treasure chest all by himself. Very cool.

Well, I'm going to grab breakfast and a shower and run off to practice. Hope you had a good weekend!
