Friday.

6 am: Daily foot check: Yep, they're still there. Hey, guys, get up -- my feet are still here! Check this out! I love this, it's going to be a great day if I get to play with FEET!


6:30 am: Quicky cuddle before we head out for the day. More accurately, I try to cuddle, CJ tries to squirm his way to the door.

8 am: Arrive at work. Realize I am wearing a black shirt, brown shoes, and blue socks. Briefly feel embarrassed, then remember that I spend all day alone in a cubical and no one will see this charming outfit.

9:30 am: Meeting with Bertha. Which is sadder: that I've named the pump, or that I am plotting many different ways to kill her off?

The wall of babies. Aw.


10 am: Go online and list bubblewrap from recent replacement crib purchase on freecycle. Work on gift for soon-to-depart colleague.

11:15 am: Chat with newest colleague, who shares the story that one of her kids ran away from home before he could walk. Remember that CJ was making a break for it just a few hours ago. Make a mental note to research Baby Lo-Jack.

Noon: Respond to some of the 10 people who want the bubblewrap. How cool is freecycle -- people want my trash!

5 pm: Home again, home again.

5:15 pm: Hey, that's a tooth. I was starting to wonder if he had any under there, but it turns out he does. One tooth. That sucker's sharp!

5:20 pm: Diaper. Nebulize. Serve mashed carrots. Change baby's carrot-ified outfit. Change my carrot-ified shirt. Play a few rounds of head, shoulders, knees and toes. knees and toes. Nurse. Baby bedtime.

7:00 pm: Go to kitchen with Adam to start the non-mushed dinner. One problem:

Try to figure out what we can make for supper using only syrup, 1/2 & 1/2, and cheese. Decide against it. Adam goes out to pick up some actual food.

While he's out, update blog and read comments. Am surprised to find people are interested. Am also surprised to find that the comments don't have spell check. Thank my lucky stars that this section does.

9:00 pm: Dinner.

10:00 pm: Bed. Oh, I love my bed.
