Talk about feeling busy....
Here I sit in a semi-darkened house, on a sweet new couch with a nice new internet connection in my very first home. Whew. I. am. surrounded. by.boxes. The room is shrinking around me!
But let's update the good things list:
Katie is still a first-rate nephew sitter
Job is going well
I have an 8 minute commute to work
Katie made chocolate chip cookies for dessert
Jon is cleaning the bathroom
HP is sleeping in his new room
Now a list of the not-so-greats:
I DID NOT get into the ING marathon
I have a HOLE in my kitchen ceiling
The gas isn't turned on til tomorrow
No hot water
Wow...clearly more to say but not the time to do. Time to sleep.

Check That one off the List
We. Just. Bought. A. House. For real.
Reality is sneaking around the corner and when I wake up tomorrow I think I might start hyperventilating. Wow. But happily it's like 80% excitement and only 20% vomit inducing. That's a good enough ratio for me.
Packing party tonight with Jonathan, Jets Pizza and a movie!

Who's Keeping Score?
I am.
It all began on May 20th, 2010 when I first was induced to have HP. Then a day later when I had the little boy. Then the following week where I suffered through a nausea inducing spinal headache. And the three months of insessent feedings.
Honestly, how can a mother not keep score. I am literally up a million points. Jon could be SuperDad (and he totally is) and I'd still be way ahead in Baby points. How can a guy catch up?
See, I've been pondering this and I've come up with a win-win. I'm thinking that Jon could do nighttime Bear duty for the next 4 or so months and we might, might break even. So, I think I'll type up this proposal and see if we can't get that signed today...

April Fools Joke
Spring BREEEEEEEAAAAAAKKKK! Has officially begun. Big plans. Big Plans. It started with a bang around 12:15am when HP decided to pull his very first April Fool's prank. It's actually pretty funny. He started calling for us and did not stop until 1:15, a WHOLE hour later. See? Do you get it? Well....I guess you had to be there.
