Day 34 - My little fish
Sometimes, when I'm stressed or the kids are bored or I just need to, I take a long bath with both the kids. It's my backup plan to use as a last resort time filler. Often I use it on those days that Ethan is working late and there is still a good hour until he gets home. So, today, not only was my hip aching but I had bad cramps (like the worst I've had in years) and Ethan wasn't even leaving work for about an hour. It was a bath day for sure. We all three hopped in the bath and played with cars and buckets for over an hour. Of course we washed too. It's nice because I can lay down and rest and the kids like dumping water on my legs and racing their cars on my belly. It really is a good time waster, plus we all get clean and it wears the kids out really well. Three birds, one stone! Thank the stars for a big bath tub.
In the bath Scarlett said, "Certainly we have to find my car." Certainly? What two year old uses that word? And correctly too.
We are starting to look for a new rental every once in a while. We search online just to check and see what's out there. We'll start seriously looking mid-March but it's good to know where our standards should be. We did find a great house (great from the pictures) but the owners only want to rent for a year or two and we want something longterm.
I have had little motivation for writing lately which is unfortunate because I have a paper due on Sunday. It's really not hard either, just busy work to show that I have read the required reading for the class. I'm just not feeling it this week, not that I have a choice.
