Work ended up really good this afternoon. Something I’ve been waiting on for 6 months finally got done. Now I have something to do tomorrow. Wahoo!

I didn’t get to go to the gym tonight and I’m pretty bummed. D ended up going early and I had planned on MIL watching them but she missed my email this afternoon and didn’t come. The good news is I stayed home and got the girls a bath and into bed early. I’ve been working on my gallery web site. Apparently there is a new version of the software I use out so I upgraded and have been playing with some of the new features. It’s pretty cool actually.

Emma is so funny when she tries to use words she hears. We went to my mom’s shop tonight and went into one of the bathrooms. There are two rose colored shaggy bath rugs in there. Emma says, OOO, pink rugs, they’re adorable! Never heard anyone call rugs adorable, but ok. I heard her say something about using her imagination tonight too. And the other day she said we needed to look at the instructions. Pretty big vocabulary if you ask me.

I put Beauty and the Beast on in the van on the way back from the shop and I think Lexi got scared when the wolves started attacking Papa. She kept squirming and sort of acted like she was going to cry. I immediately skipped that part and she calmed down after that. I felt so bad for letting her watch it.

So, we started talking about what we will do with our tax money. Here’s the list right now:

new bed for emma
fence
deck
refrigerator
google stock
floors
backsplash
countertop
dress clothes for scott
landscaping for the front yard
rebuild savings

Not nearly all of that will happen although we are getting a good amount back. Not sure how to prioritize all of that since nothing but the savings and sort of the refrigerator is a necessity. I guess we could have worse decisions to make.

Mr. Work was flat out ill today. According to him, bummed about the game last night. Not sure that was totally it, but it made it easy to be good today.

Scott is still not home. He requalified with 99% on his firearms. Gives you (maybe a false) sense of security knowing if he ever had to shoot a gun, it wouldn’t be a shot in the dark.
