Well, anyway, it is still a cool date.
2. I was too grumpy today, especially tonight after we got home from piano lessons. I got up at 5:15, and had been going absolutely non-stop since that minute, and after we got home from piano lessons at 5:45, groceries had to be put away, school assignments had to be checked, the kitchen had to be cleaned, dinner had to be started, cello practicing had to be supervised, and I had really just had it. My poor boys. My no-yelling resolution was a total failure tonight... Well, tomorrow is another day.
3. It is Christmas card season, and we've gotten several so far. I have yet to even take the pictures for our card, and I'm getting a little nervous. :-) I know exactly what we're going to do, but I need a wide-angle lens, so I have to either find one to borrow or go downtown and rent one, which I really won't have time to do till at least Friday or Saturday, which makes the whole Christmas card timeline extremely tight. Plus, I wanted to cut the boys' hair first, but I think that's just going to have to go by the wayside.
4. Speaking of Christmas cards, we got one today from a high school friend of Ben's. We are in touch only via Christmas cards, and it is fun to get her card every year, and watch their family grow. :-) Last year their 6th had just been born, and this year they're about to have TWINS in February. Eight kids! And I got the biggest pang of envy. Every once in a while I'll come across someone that has the life I thought I would have, and I'm always taken aback by my emotions. And then I feel horrible, because I must be so ungrateful to be envious of someone when I know full well how blessed I am. But still. I sure would love to have a houseful of kids and be looking forward to a new start with another baby or two.
