today began with me changing into yoga pants, and lacing up my sneakers. the scale has reached its limit and enough is enough. today begins the downward fight. so easy to put on. so hard to get off.
took poppy to the doctor. not just one, but two ear infections. poor baby. she sounds so different. and she has had the tv and the computer turned up so much louder than normal. she must really be fighting to hear.
stopped to visit with jean for a minute after the doctor. the girls love her so much. they each took a knee and took turns telling her all sorts of things. but when poppy hopped down to leave, lavender didn't follow suit. no, she moved right into the middle of jean's lap and wrapped both her arms around her. it nearly took my breath away. she is yummy. lavender, and jean.
had lunch with the cornaby clan at wendys. i had a giant migraine hit so i slurped down dr pepper as fast as i could, knowing all my exercise was now for naught. sigh.
the chili has a new recipe. me no likey.
emeline is sick too. but no one beats violet. she looked simply dreadful. but cute, of course, with her running nose and the reddest teary eyes. poor baby.
rich and i snuck out for a mini date night. picked up poppy's medicine and stopped at Los Jalapenos for a quick bite. well, not exactly quick. but it was great to get out so we didn't mind. when we came home, the ladies were asleep. love my nigel. he's a good sitter.
sat down to watch something dvr'ed but totally got sucked in my dateline nbc. poor rich, wasted two long hours waiting for the story that could have been done in 30 minutes. apparently they can do this as suckers like me get drawn in...
funniest thing said today:
lali: does poppy still have an ear ache today?
mom: yes
lali: does it have a baby bird in it?
mom, thinking, thinking...: oh, cute baby, not ear egg, ear ache.
laughingly called dad and anja and megan to tell them that one. too funny.
gratitudes:
1. having a child old enough to babysit
2. having aches without birds
3. jean and all her loveliness
