This time next week....

I'll be at work :( Hmmm, I'll be about 40 minutes into my shift...

Ugh, I'm totally dreading it.

It is going to be difficult seeing that I have been in bed by 9 (10 if I'm feeling wild n' crazy!) every night for the past 8 weeks.

How am I possibly going to get into the groove of working until 2am?!

blech!

I luv Sundays

Ahhhhh....Sundays are nice.

Our new ritual is to get up & head over to Starbucks in our jammies bright n' early for Chai & breakfast sandwiches. We sit and chat for awhile...Nora is always in a good mood just after her 7am bottle..life is good :)

It's not even noon and it is already scorchin' hot outside! We slapped our sun hats on (still in our pj's, c'mon its Sunday!) and sat outside and watched Papa toil in the yard....hehehe

Nora is finally enjoying bath time now that she can pretty much sit up on her own in the tub.

She never hated it, she just sort tolerated it. Bath time was always a fast operation around here.

Now we take our time....and splash like crazy!

me + baked treats = HAPPINESS

How is it that I keep finding fantastic places to eat in the city now that we've moved to the 'burbs?

Maybe it's better this way.

I mean, I couldn't possibly eat this everyday...

Could I??

The Faker

Nora's new trick is to "cough" at the dogs when they aren't paying attention to her. She can be very dramatic.

Here she is "coughing" at Miss Peanut.

All Miss P wanted to do was take a nap.

YES!!!!!

WE HAVE CHILDCARE!!!!! Whew!

It was getting close to the wire and I was starting to panic (a little bit) but its all good now.

My cousin, who lives like 4 blocks from me, is going to watch Nora.
I really should have asked her in the first place since she offered before Nora was even home but I felt bad because she just had a baby less than 3 weeks ago and I didn't want to put her on the spot. Plus, I figured her plate was probably a little full anyway.
Well, I asked her and she said yes! She doesn't want me to pay her but that's crazy. She's gettin' paid.
I'm also really excited because our girls will become really close, like sisters, and that is invaluable.

Oh, I am so excited I could just scream!! Nora's napping so I should probably just keep my mouth shut :)
