Well, I didn’t get much accomplished again today. We were too busy.
This morning AJ and I met with one of his coworkers about setting up a trust. They offer the service at a deep discount and we figured what the hell. It sucks to discuss what happens if AJ dies, but we had already talked about all of this before I had Liam, so it wasn’t anything new to either of us. I just hope we don’t need it for a long, long time.
Since I was downtown and Grandma had the kids, I decided I’d stop in and look at some glasses when we were done.
AJ had other plans.
He wanted to go to lunch. I wasn’t sure how that was going to work with picking out glasses and getting back to the children when I said I would, but he assured me that his mom already knew we were going to lunch, so we were able to do both.
I got two new pairs of glasses. I was wiggly with glee at lunch. First, we were by ourselves, and second, the glasses and the location of lunch reminded me of when I was young and hip. For a moment I actually believed that I still MIGHT be hip. But then I realized that I don’t own a pair of those fancy culot pants that people wear with tall boots.
Anyway, it was short-lived and I ate my lunch in about five minutes because that’s what I’m used to, but I enjoyed every moment of it.
I was late picking up the kids because I missed my exit while I was talking to Jenni about 2,000 different things. L was fine, but Miss E wasn’t taking the bottle, so she was hungry and ready for me to be there. I got her to take the bottle when we got home, but it required some very serious attention.
She has to be facing outward, sitting up a bit and I have to stand and bounce her while “shushing” her to get her calm enough to start eating. And the milk has to be really warm.
She’s so weird.
Both kids took good naps today, and I managed to bake a few cookies for some of Aaron’s coworkers.
Then we had to get ready to go to George’s second birthday party. L had fun. He got to help George, who doesn’t like to get dirty, eat his cake.
L had no problem eating the edges of icing off of the top and the bottom of the cake.
George finally got involved after Jamie gave him a fork.
Then they all figured out that forks = bigger bites and they went to town.
Aaron also attended the festivities.
He was thrilled with the theme.
We headed out shortly after G-man opened his gifts. L was quite helpful in that arena as well. Maybe he’ll want to open some of his xmas gifts sometime soon.
Kiddos went to bed later than normal and I tried to get the mess separated into piles by where it needs to go. It looks a little better.
Now, if I could just get the damn dryer to cooperate, I’d work on the laundry.
Guh.
