My friends, we've just hit a flat spot in the wrinkly universe because this NEVER happens. I don't remember the last time I got to type with BOTH HANDS. It feels good. My Jr. High typing teacher would be so proud.
Dh is in day 4 of his job and is thrilled. He's getting lots of information thrown at him fast and there is talk of making him responsible for calcium citrate and raw materials sometime next week. He's a bit freaked out by the speed of it all but I know he'll be just fine. He's busy doing titrations and learning how the lab supervisor wants lab notebooks to be filled out and everything. He's positively radiant and beaming though. I'm incredibly proud of him. He worked his rear end off to get to this point. I'm glad it's finally here.
Aaack, it's peach time already??? Holy smokes. It seems like a few short minutes ago it wasn't even warm enough for strawberries! We've got to plan for peach picking. Oooh, we have to go over the river to a christening on Saturday, perhaps we should venture early for peaches. I had wanted to do some canning this summer since I scored a canner for $1.50 at the thrift store awhile back. Maybe I'll can some peach salsa if I can get tomatos too. Braeutigam Farms is a local family owned/run farm that has stellar produce and you can pick just about anything you would want from eggplant (3 varieties) to herbs to tomatos (probably 100 varieties, lol) to berries. I love that place.
Baby Oak is growing like a stinking weed. He's cooing and gurgling and smiling like crazy and I love every minute of it. I have made peace with the idea of him being my last baby. That may change next week ( I am female, it's my perogative to change my mind, lol) but for now I just can't imagine another pregnancy. I won't rule out more babies, but I don't think they'll come from my womb. We're good to go with these 4 for now. I don't ever want another miscarriage. I don't really want to deal with IV's and nausea and vomiting again either, lol. This last pregnancy was pretty hard on me physically. I'm ready to have my body back. I'm looking forward to a future where my husband can pay some attention to my breasts rather than me glaring at him if he even thinks about it (a hazard of breastfeeding, lol). I want to go to Disney World (shhh, don't mention it to the kids, they will think I mean tomorrow, lol). I am positively thrilled with the direction life is taking right now. Amazing what a good job will do for a girl. Besides, I can live vicariously through my mama friends and experience their pregnancies and labors and births. How beautiful to see a mama friend glowing after a strong labor. I can think of nothing more amazing!
Temps are supposed to be decent today so my plan is to get outside. I have no vehicle today so maybe we'll bathe in mosquito spray and work on cleaning up the driveway and back yard. The kids (mine, and the rest of the neighborhood) really take a toll on the yard and dh and I admittedly turn a blind eye most of the time, lol. Maybe we can actually do something about it today. Of course there are the endless dishes and laundry I need to work on too, but taking advantage of the cooler temps and low humidity seems like a good idea today. There will be more dishes tomorrow.
Dinner should be on the table when dh gets home tonight so we can eat, go work out, go swimming with the kids, then home to bed so we can do it all again tomorrow.
Hugs and greetings to all my friends!
