It is 11:30 p.m. and here is our "Day In the Life of..."
I am about 28 weeks pregnant with our fifth child. I worked today from 8:30 to 4:30 with no time for lunch. I had breakfast this morning with Jasmine and Margret. (Margret had a hysterical fit yesterday when I ate breakfast without her).
Steve is more or less unemployed these days. His project for today was clearing out the downstairs hall closet and setting up a computer desk there. It looks very nice. He did several massages yesterday and was paid $200 this week (by two clients) so was able to make a loan payment today.
Laura seemed happy toaday. She is eight years old and has bouts of silliness and seriousness. She washed the supper dishes. Her gift to us was half of a purse-size band-aid dispenser.
Jasmine, seven, wanted desperately to be part of our anniversary celebration. She wished we could have gone to Lagoon today using the church discount tickets. She was even a little clingy. She had been coloring a cardboard box lid with markers all week and wrapped it and wrote a gift tag. She said the lid was "to take to work."
Margret, five, wanted to give us more than a kiss and a hug. She wanted to be my twin. Laura helped her select two pansies from the front yard to pluck and give to Steve and I.
Trina, two and a half, is still a diaper girl who wants us to give her a bottle (though we don't) and sleeps with us most of most nights. Stubborn and independent, she spilt most of a large container of chocolate drink mix powder today trying to fix herself a glass of chocolate milk.
Steve's mom watched the girls while we went to a movie. We saw "Hook" at the dollar theatre (a perfect choice), and ate leftovers when we got home. Plus a pint of Baskin Robbins ice cream.
