I just finished some scrambled eggs, toast and am drinking coffee from a mug with Ethan’s 7th grade picture on it. That’s really the only reason I’m on here, writing. The combo of the food/coffee/laughing at this mug perked me up just enough out of my tired, exasperated-ness to feel like some Friday blogging. The reason for the exasperation is that Carver is sick. At first this made me really sad, now sad, tired and confused. Do I give in and pick him up when he cries in his crib? Or do I let him cry with his miserable cough until he falls asleep so he can actually get some sleep? Anyway, enough of that. I mean, it is Friday, after all. Some blurbs…

I might participate in a craft show in a few weekends. That would be fun. And it would fulfill yet another one of my 2009 goals. Did I tell you we got a new (kind of) dining room table? That was another goal! Thanks, BA! Now, I’m just 1.5 pounds, 1 triathlon and 1 cruise short of finishing the list.

Yesterday we spent $52 at Publix and saved $41! This probably isn’t as exciting to you as it is to me, but we are trying to stick to a $50/week grocery budget and I gotta take my thrills where I can get them folks…

Only 7 weeks left of this crazy semester!

We went to the pumpkin patch

and I have the cutest kid in the world.

Well, I’m looking forward to a weekend without much going on. Hope you’re looking forward to yours!

and a neatly stacked pile of dirty dishes (that I still haven’t done):

Right now, both the boys are supposed to be napping, but talking to each other in baby gibberish through the walls. As soon as they stop and I am assured they are peacefully sleeping, I need to go grab the laundry out of the dryer. That’s right, I put it in the wash before the sun came up. I never thought I would be that desperate for clean clothes, but there is absolutely no way I could have made it down to the laundry room with both boys and 2 full baskets. And, since we are on our last bib, I started it before Kennon got here.

Gibberish stopped. Got to go.
