Life (In London), Medicated

Just don’t look at the rest of the house.

  • The kids spent the majority the day at Grandma’s - with Gabe and Sadie! (Gma is nuts.)
  • E fussed and slept 40 minutes total and L finger painted on Gma’s glass door with yogurt
  • I worked to get all of the kid stuff out into the garage and off of the living room floor, made a few necessary phone calls, was at the house when the peeps came to fix the front door and pick up our junk, and talked to AJ for a few minutes
  • Jen, Jules, and Ethan came by to look at clothes.  She’s hosting a bday party for Liam on Monday and thinking about not having her around made me teary eyed.  I’ve been so lucky to have so many close friends here.  I will miss them terribly.
  • A has located a neighborhood that he’s grown quite fond of:  Hampstead.
    From 2007 London
    • When I went to pick up L, he had done a good job (aside from the yogurt) at Gma’s playing with Gabe.  I wanted ice cream, so I told him we could go to McDonald’s.  When we pulled in, he asked if there were any animals on the farm.  It took me a minute, but I got it.  He confirmed my suspicion I was getting ready to order.  He  asked “Are we hafing ice cweam fwom Owd McDonawd’s?”  Then he wanted to sit inside.  He was very upset when I told him we had to come home.  He threw a fit, but came around as soon as he saw me take a bite of the milky goodness.
    • We ate dinner, I gave the kids a bath (am trying out a new routine), and got them in bed.  I got to work picking up the carpeted areas on the main floor so that I could vacuum and clean them.  I got the main floor done.
    • L woke up a few minutes ago after he wet the bed - through his pull-up.  Weird, eh?
    • It’s a good thing we’re listing the house this weekend.  Although I won’t have everything done the way I want it, I’m not going to be able to go on like this much longer.

    I’m up too late again tonight.  One is supposed to be my limit, but here it is two and I’m still going. I’m just waiting for this place to be listed so I can catch up on my sleep.

    Fortunately Jeanne is keeping the kids again for me tomorrow afternoon. Maybe I’ll get a little power nap in.

    Or maybe I’ll post my pics of Wyoming! Hmmm…nap, Wyoming, nap, nap, nap.
    Have a grand day, all!

    Oh

    Oh, you’re going to have so much fun! Hampstead looks wonderful. Reminds me of living in Georgetown. I’m jealous (and a bit sad, too). You’re going to have to get one of those cool strollers so you can fit in when you walk the streets.

    Just dawned on me that I should change my “posting” name. Oh, weren’t those days fun?!
