(no subject)
I should have been at a rally for my state Senator this morning, but instead I slept in. I couldn't sleep last night because the book I was reading was THAT THRILLING. I finished it today, and got that empty restless feeling that I get when I finish a really good book and nothing else will do but the sequel... but there's a waiting list for the sequel at the library. So I'm trying to read something else now, but it's not satisfying.
My parents were in town all week and I used the time to go through some baby stuff and prep for a consignment sale that's coming up. I doubt I will be having another baby, and even if I might have another, I can't possibly store all the boy AND girl clothes that I have now accumulated. So apart from a few favorites "just in case" or to be held in reserve for possible nieces and nephews, it all has to go as it gets outgrown. I'm giving away some to friends and relatives, selling some at the consignment sale and saving some more of it for the La Leche League garage sale this summer, which I've volunteered to hold at my house. I really wish I could keep more of it, though. I love baby clothes.
I have really slowed down on Flylady because I have been preoccupied with digging through the baby clothes, but I have at least been keeping the bathroom clean and the dishes done (with some help), so I'm ahead with good habits and I'll go back to the baby steps this week.
Speaking of baby, Freya is finding her voice and vocalizing more these days. She still doesn't cry unless she is extremely perturbed, but she's starting to carry on some pretty loud conversations. She doesn't have a whole lot of interest in rolling. She did the front-to-back roll that one time when she was about two months old and now I guess she's over it, or waiting until it's time to get serious with back-to-front rolling.
I cannot WAIT for spring to come so I can take both kids outside to play. It will be so good for them, and for me too. I haven't really decided how I am going to tote them around the neighborhood. Finn is old enough to ride his trike, but that means I need to count on compliance from him when it is time to go home. I wanted to get a new carrier to make back carries easier with Freya, and just because I think they're pretty, but maybe I should just work with what I have, which is a good carrier to begin with. It might be fun to have a wagon, but it would be a lot more fun if we could ever bring it anywhere else, and a wagon won't fit in our vehicle, boooo. I don't want to get a double stroller because I would prefer that Finn get around under his own steam and double strollers are a beast to push.
This ramble is clearly not going anywhere notable so I'm going to bed.
