High/Low

One of my all-time favorite Rob Reiner films is The Story of Us. I'm not sure why the rest of the world didn't love it like I did, but I guess that's their choice. Anyway, during one of the scenes in the movie, the family all sits down to dinner and talks about their highs and lows for the day. Because today was one of those kind of days, I think I'll do the same:

Low: Elisa slept on a small mattress on the floor in my room that she peed on at some point during the night. I stepped right into the wet spot on my way to the dresser this morning. I remember thinking the day only had to get better from there...

High: I am as caught up on the laundry as I will ever be with a family as big as mine, so there was no problem tossing the mess into the wash.

Low: Dave called me to tell me he had booked a hotel room and tickets to Medieval Times in Dallas for this weekend since we aren't really going on any big vacations this year. I reminded him that our nephew's first birthday party was on Saturday. He replied with a flippant "I guess we'll be dropping off his present on the way out of town." WRONG ANSWER! He re-scheduled everything, but is still acting really pissy about it.

High: I got to enjoy a salad sampler at Cafe' Plaid today for lunch-I love those and it had been a really long time since I had one.

Low: If I hadn't been craving that so badly, I could have seen my friends who were eating lunch at Mazzio's. (This was totally my call, sometimes you just can't ignore the pregnancy cravings.)

High: I got to chat with one of my favorite CCOC parents in the parking lot while dropping Natalie off this afternoon.

Low: Natalie has to be there early for the rest of the week to work on her solo parts

High: My kids has solo parts to practice for her upcoming performance

Low: It is miserably hot and will be all week-long

High: A good friend from church loaned me some more maternity shirts, shorts, and 2 bathing suits!

Low: I completely lost it when the kids got into a huge fight over the computer for the umpteenth time today.

High: They all went upstairs and played quietly for at least two hours after getting into trouble-sure, it was to avoid angry mommy, but I don't care.

Low: We are completely out of lunch meat and bread, mac and cheese, and just about anything else the kids will eat for lunch. We had just enough to feed them today and not enough for me.

High: I refer you back to the Cafe' Plaid lunch from earlier in the list. (Kids were happy with Gatorade and a cookie while I had tabouli, fruit salad, and chicken pesto tortellini)

Low: The little girls have FOUR performances for their show starting tomorrow and I feel the need to be at each one.

High: Ditto the "low" on that one. They are going to be SO cute on stage.

Low-I am on my 4th dose of Tums today. And I made Baked French Toast for dinner-not usually something to give you heartburn, unless of course you are 35 weeks pregnant.

High-ALL the kids LOVED what I made for dinner tonight! That never happens here.
