1. Copper's bottom tooth broke through yesterday, or Sunday night. I attribute that to her crankiness and inability to self-soothe, play, and sleep. I would love to show you her ornery face and random tantrums, but...
2. Our camera broke. Tried to turn it on last night and it wouldn't. And still won't, despite new batteries, being plugged into the computer, and being sworn at. Today I went online looking for good camera deals. Then decided that a new digital camera wasn't really in the "needs only" budget I put myself on. With this new budget, I have thankfully...
3. Finished Christmas shopping. Except for my dad, and who knows what to get him. He has everything. I may just make a few pounds of cookie dough he can keep in the freezer for instant cookies when he wants them. Why not, since I've been non-stop cooking anyway getting ready for:
4. SFP graduation. Fourteen weeks later and the program I run is finally coming to an end. At least for four weeks until the next one starts. This weekend I made about 120 cups of gelatin popcorn- red, orange, green and blue- for the 11 families and 15 group leaders. I am now sick of my kitchen being a mess- tired of sweeping, washing dishes, and not having counter or table space. It would be super nice to get out of the house, if only...
5. I hadn't gotten in a car wreck on Saturday. Taryn and I stopped at the light and BAM- some guy behind me didn't realize that everyone was stopped. So his car hit mine and I hit the truck in front of me. His ball on the hitch went right through my front license plate and hit the frame, and my back end has all sorts of problems. If that wasn't enough, there hasn't been a rental available for me and I still do not have one. Stuck inside with crying Copper, who, by the way,
6. Is almost 17 pounds and 26 inches long. Friday she had her 6 month check-up. She oo'd and ahh'd the nurses and doctor with her smile and funny giggle. Four shots later, she screamed at them and gave them dirty looks. And had a rough day Saturday as an after effect. Which reminded me to keep:
6. Praying to recognize that these are the good times in my life. I had gotten in the habit of praying for better times, but then I thought: "What if these are the good times b/c something worse is around the corner?" It reminds me that I really do have many blessings. Maybe tomorrow I will write about them.

I missed you today in our meeting that you weren't at. ;)
ReplyDeleteI can come and get you and you can dirty up my kitchen. I'll just make the kids clean it up.
How do you make gelatin popcorn? And is it good?
Oh my gosh Cassie! I'm sorry you were in a car accident! Hope you are doing ok. Good luck with those shots with Copper. Savanna was a beast on her 4 month shots. It was stupid of us too because we had so much going on the day we got her shots. We had a graduation dinner to go to and a wedding reception and she screamed through most of it making it very unenjoyable.
ReplyDeleteI just love you :)...and I love reading your posts. You seriously are a great writer!
ReplyDeleteIt always feels good to write about the "bad times" doesn't it. I would know...hehe.
I'm sure glad you two were ok and weren't badly injured in the "car accident." Hopefully we will see you guys again soon! Happy Holidays!
