Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday I …

-          Finished HP6 and got nearly 300 pages into HP7. It was a reading kind of night. I do love the Harry Potter books, but I like them best from Order of the Phoenix on; there’s so much more action and goings on. It’s excellent. I’m so glad I’m doing this rereading thing. Next is either Graceling or Vampire Academy.

-          Had Jury Duty. I wish I could actually talk about it, because it’s fascinating. I’m bound to never talk about the cases we hear, ever, but in general terms it’s definitely eye opening, especially about my county.

-          I made tacos last night for dinner. I always make chicken tacos, and then I make Spencer a chicken quesadilla. He was *not happy* I made beef instead and refused to have it in his quesadilla. So. He asked instead for eggs and cheese instead (such my kid). (Henry got his usual, cheese and turkey pepperoni)

-          (last night) Henry didn’t get up once! Well, he got up twice before actually falling asleep, but there were no middle of the night wake ups. You’d think this wouldn’t be such a big deal at 3.5, but one to two times a night is just so draining – especially at toddler age. It shouldn’t be happening so often anymore!

Today I …

-          Put out a card and a giant Reese’s heart for C, and I ended up giving the kids a couple small things: Star Wars white boards, TMNT socks and bouncy balls that lights up. So Target dollar bins, my children love you. They were all big hits.

-          I told Christen that I would cook him anything he wanted. He chose chicken kiev, so it’s that, roasted brussel sprouts and orecchiette w/ goat cheese and miso tomatoes. I’m thinking of making the kids heart shaped personal pizzas for movie night for them tonight. Unfortunately it’s going to be too cold to eat the grown up’s dinner on the deck, but we’ll make separate valentine’s dinners work.

-          Had a heart shaped doughnut that my coworker brought in for Valentine’s day. It was a bit too sweet (I’m not a huge doughnut fan) but still delightful. It would have been rude to turn it down, right?

-          Didn’t take a shower this morning. This should probably be rectified the minute I get home. But in my defense, I usually shower at night and didn’t, and it was too cold this morning! And I wouldn’t have had time to dry my hair, so really I’m just looking out for my health.

Tomorrow I …

-          Have no plans for the majority of the day. I’m honestly thinking of just hanging out in PJs as long as can be done, watching tv and having breakfast and reading. This is ideal.

-          Have Spencer’s family birthday dinner in the “evening”. It’s at 4pm. Spencer picked Logan’s Roadhouse, because he loves the bread and peanuts at steakhouses. If Texas Roadhouse was closer, he totally would have picked that (and I would have relished him being forced to sit on that stupid saddle) but Logan’s it is.

-          Otherwise have nothing. NOTHING. It’s glorious. Also, unlikely. We’re not good at staying home so I predict wandering the mall or taking the kids to the playground or something.
