highlights of the day

without photos...i know i know, lame-o
the thing is that josh was given by his mom a wonderful new camera for his birthday....
which of course i covet like crazy!
it is a little powershot, my favorite.
but also, of course, he doesn't really like his "ah, who cares if this stuff is burning through my skin" slightly lackadasical (sp) wife to borrow it...though he grins and bares it well.
and mine needs its little batteries recharged but somehow i broke the recharger (i came home and found a pile of battery acid oozing out from under it...while plugged in) 
so, here i am trying very very hard not to use his camera (though he really wouldn't mind) to prove i am not going to usurp it...it really is HIS.
well, at least for now =)

ok!
josh and i went to the dentist today! i was sooo sure i'd have a mouthful of cavaties...but yay! we are both free and clear even though we haven't been since right after the birth of jack!  we were so happy, we came home and ate icecream =)

situps and pushups...yes, well. a-hem.
i was doing sooo well! and then kiawah, that dratted perfect island vacation, how could it ruin my run!
ok, yes i fell off the boat quite completely.  and you know when you miss a day, and then another, it seems all too hard to keep up anymore.  so, i am prepared to start over. 
i will say, i was feeling very strong there after week 1....they were getting just a tad easier for me...ie, i could do them and not wobble afterwards.  so i'm excited about starting again...buuuuut, not tonight =)

i have been looking for a book for josh for Christmas....called bending the willow about jeremy brett as sherlock holmes.  if anyone has any leads on one or where i could find one that is not $999.00 (amazon) i'd LOVE to know!

ok. it is 7:34 and i am nearly toast.  the kids get up a lot in the night...well, let me rephrase,,, jack gets up every night if we aren't all in bed together sans esme...he just loves to know we are near. and esme wakes up for good between 4-5 am....so sadly nearer to 4 than 5.  while josh was away, i could go to bed really early....but now, i want to hang out so i am looking like a racoon ...just tired.  anywho...surely surely they will start to sleep better soon! i mean, there isn't much more that i can do to wear them out during the day!

hope everyone has a lovely evening....i am off to not clean the kitchen but read instead =) ahhh, i love being an adult!
