The Sunday Somethings, 06dec09
December 7th, 2009Something that made me happy this week: My annual Christmas date with Audrey. We had a brunch at Poole’s Diner followed by an afternoon production of Cirque Dreams Holidaze at Raleigh Memorial.
Something I’m thinking: I was too tired after a long day to write the blog entry last night. My blog, my rules, and I say I can post The Sunday Somethings on Monday if I want.
Something I’m hoping: I’m hoping that Maddie’s new trend of going to bed easily is a permanent change and not just a phase. Of course, tonight would be the first night since we got back from our trip that she’s been difficult to get to bed. Other than tonight, she’s gone to bed in under 5 minutes. It’s a Christmas miracle!
Something happening around the house: We’ve been doing some organizing in our pantry. That’s right, we’re excited about using canisters.
Something I’m reading: I read a small amount of Loving Frank. Time will tell if I’m going to finish it before Wednesday’s book club.
Something tasty I ate this week: Brunch at Poole’s Diner was tasty!
Something Maddie did this week: Two of her favorite activities these days are coloring in her coloring books and pretending to put her baby doll, stuffed animals and us to bed. She lays her stuffed animals on the floor, covers them with a blanket, pats them to “sleep,” and says “night night” or “goodnight Jojo.” It’s too cute. She also tells our Christmas decorations goodnight when she goes to bed. “Goodnight snowman. Goodnight trains. Goodnight tree.”
Something happening with the pregnancy: I still have almost 2 months left in the pregnancy, and I’m a bit tired of the variations on “you’re huge” which include (but are not limited to): “Wow, you look like you’re ready to pop!” “You’re huge!” “You’re really getting big!” “When are you due, next week?” “Your due date must be soon.” Seriously, do any pregnant women appreciate comments on their size? Also, don’t try to guess a pregnant woman’s due date.
Something I struggled with this week: Maddie had her first experience with croup, which is a very scary thing for parents. We were nervous for several nights, not sure if she might go into respiratory distress. Thanks to a call to the after hours nurse and some very helpful advice from a good friend unfortunately quite experienced in croup and croup-related ER visits, we felt a little more comfortable with handling the situation. We had to take Maddie into the steamy bathroom several times. Fortunately, she never exhibited signs that caused us to panic. We were still worried about Maddie Moo. We didn’t get much sleep for several nights. Poor thing lost her voice for days and is still working on getting back to normal.
Something I’m doing towards my goals: I finally made the big yard sale donation to our 2010 MS Walk team.
Something I learned this week: We learned more than we wanted to learn about croup.
Something I’m looking forward to next week: I hesitate to say since we had to cancel several of our fun plans last week, including our games night which was going to have a very good turnout.
Something random: I enjoy reading Jorge Garcia’s blog. He’s just a regular guy blogging about his regular, everyday life. (Well, you know, for a super famous television star living in Hawaii…but other than that, he’s a regular dude.)
Something captured: Audrey and I on our annual Christmas date.
