Yesterday I was out, driving in my van
with my four lovely babes in tow. Actually, I met
up with my mom in front of a store I wanted to
run into (a consignment store---I was in search of
some pants that fit that were NOT maternity
and didn't cost much because I hope to be
smaller soon) and I got the three big
kids from her. She had taken them to the first day
of our home school co-op---which went
really well, by the way.
So ANYWAY, I drove in my van, just me and my kids
like old times. Just like I was a regular adult
with all the regular adult powers.
And here's the cool part---at one point the
thermometer in my van said it was 63° out!
Can you believe that?
That's like a tropical heat wave after the bitter
cold we had recently. Of course, I have for some
reason reverted to my old ways of being cold all the
time. We keep the thermostat in the house on 70°
but I have been FREEZING lately.
From day one of this past pregnancy, I was hot.
Always hot.
And now I've gone back to being cold like I was
when I was skinny.
Only without the skinny part.
But isn't that LOVELY that is was so warm yesterday?
Even if it was just for a little while.
It was so nice. It restored my faith in.....something.
Made me realize that winter has not settled
on us FOREVER and that spring will
come again.
Woo-hoo.
Today has been an okay Saturday.
I fell asleep on the couch this morning when I sat down
to look at something with Sweet T for a little while.
I was so surprised to wake up later when
Lloyd Dobbler called. He wanted to know if I was
ready to go to lunch (we were going to eat Mexican)
and I was laying there on the couch,
where he had left me an hour and a half earlier,
with my wet hair still in a towel.
It was nice to get out of the house with all of us.
Now we all smell like a Mexican restaurant.
Is it just our regular Mexican restaurant that does that
or is it all of them?
Do you smell like a Mexican restaurant after
eating a meal at your favorite Mexican joint?
I ate about 1,047 tortilla chips today.
They were just so good and fresh and hot today
and I was also thinking that I was glad to be done with
the whole gestational diabetes diet.
Of course I have reminded myself this afternoon that
I am supposed to be checking my sugar from time to
time.... and I haven't done that in two weeks or so.
Well, I'm not going to check it right now
after eating all those chips.
The meter would just say
"Sit down; you are about to go into a coma."
Does it annoy you to read the writings of someone
with really bad grammar? It does me. I was just
thinking of that as I corrected something I had typed above.
I have a relative who sends me these occasional e-mails
and I just want to SCREAM by the time I am
finished reading them.
She uses no punctuation and no capitalization.
So very annoying.
It's just this one paragraph like it's one thought and you're
just supposed to make of it what you can.
I don't know why she does that.
Why would any adult not make some effort
to make their writing correct?
But I know I'm not perfect.
I don't methodically proofread everything that
I hurriedly type out to you, Dear Reader.
So don't be alarmed if you find many errors here
on Ordinary Days. I make an effort....but I'm not perfect.
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
I'm fixing to make a chicken pot pie for our
supper....although I have to say that I'm not very
hungry after those many many chips I ate at lunch.
But the kiddos need some veggies and this was one
of my easy meal ideas that I have on hand....one that
they will eat and they'll get the veggies and there won't
be any blood shed. Talk about comfort food
(and easy to make too, that's always a plus!),
what's more comforting on a gray January day
than a big ol' chicken pot pie?
In addition to making this comforting meal,
I have done 1.5 loads of laundry today.
So I'm not completely worthless.
"I'm doing the work! I'm baby stepping!"
(once again she references "What About Bob?")
I hope you are having a LOVELY weekend, Dear Reader.

That is one of the funniest parts of that movie - "I'm baby steppin'." Well, aren't you something out with all your kids, driving around clothed and in your right mind.
