We had such a nice, if busy weekend with Aunty Renee, Aunty May, and Aunty Sherri in town along with Chris' niece Justine. It was truly wonderful getting to know Justine better. She's doing some great stuff with Americorps rehabbing houses in Minneapolis and told us how she has managed to eat organic on a pittance. Americorps pays so little that she could potentially qualify for food stamps! Americorps does provide some funding for college for every year worked, which is nice. Justine says she will be going to school next year, possibly in Minnesota. Brrrr....
Chris and I love when the Auntys come visit. They are the best! The Auntys took Alana to the zoo where they spoiled her rotten and probably pumped her full of sweets ;-) I think this was her first outing without either of her parents. Wow. She's growing up.
Thank god my back is better. And I am being oh so careful with it. I have nightmares of my being laid up from a back injury. After being prostrate from terrible morning sickness, then bed rest, then the c-section and catheter injury...ugh, I have to stay healthy. I have figured out a whole bunch of different ways to bend that don't cause (much) pain.
Hey, does anybody watch The Real Housewives of NYC? Yeah, I'm trashy like that. I love that show, along with RHOC and Project Runway. I'm a real Bravo junkie. I can't stay up late enough to watch each episode when it first comes out (10pm around here) but I catch it on the Bravo reruns. I CANNOT WAIT to see the catfight between Bethenny and Kelly. Meow! The other show I love is 30 Rock and to a lesser degree I'm a fan of The Office. Sadly, I haven't caught either of these in awhile. Hope to catch up with the reruns in a few months, once my babies are sleeping better.
Sorry, no pictures this week...I have some video clips but I'm too tired to put 'em up on Youtube.
Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteIts Kim! Sorry we're playing phone tag! I have a quiet moment so I was catching up on the computer & your blog. I had to laugh at the post on firing your nanny. The fingernail clipping thing is hilarious. I'm sure it's not to you, but at the mortgage co. I got laid off from, the receptionist found a large pile of fingernail clippings & used plastic silverware in the desk of someone who got let go a few weeks before me. GROSS! Hope you're all well, call me if you have a chance!
