The husband & I watched Arthur last night after the kids went to bed. Before that, we loaded up his seabag (it's bad luck for a seaman to carry a black traveling bag), ate a nice dinner of Chanello's pizza & wings, and got the kids in bed.
Our day was spent fixing the connection for the headlights on the van, getting Mikey's hair cut, locating a suitable new lanyard for me, and just generally not doing much. The trash got taken out but the grill didn't get put back in the shed. Oh well. I'll probably drop the kids in Allie's room for the 5 minutes it'll take me to do it.
Got some packages on the way this week from Amazon, Gymboree, & the In-Laws. Due today are my ultimate editions of Order of the Phoenix & Half-Blood Prince. Tomorrow, my mini guillotine paper cutter is due to arrive so we can start the paper garland for the kids. Also have a package from the In-Laws due to arrive in tomorrow. Kids are excited. :] On Wednesday, I've got a pair of lounge pants coming in. Then, on Friday, the kids' Gymboree haul is supposed to come in.
Big week for packages! The estimated date for packages to arrive and I have a love/hate relationship. I love when packages come in. I don't love when I have to wait around all day so nobody takes off with my packages. I'm sure this is a irrational fear, but it'll take a lot to change my feelings on it.
The kids & I have been up since 6am, and 6:30am, respectively. We were up at 6:45, breakfast at 7:15, and now it's finally rolled around to the time that we usually wake up & get moving. Today has an extra 2hrs added onto it for almost all of us. Hopefully that time is recovered via a nap after lunch (which will probably be closer to 10:30-11 at this rate).
I've gone and commissioned a necklace from a friend of mine and designer/owner of La Femme Noir and Static Steamworks. Hopefully it turns out beautiful and good for daily wear.
Well, I hear thumping and the sound of metal blinds being jerked around. Looks like it's time to go break up whatever the kids are doing in the little man's room before it turns into another case of a curtain bar & blackout curtain to the head.
Fair winds and following seas.
