a good day

I only take 1/2 of the Ambien my dr. prescribed and it works wonders for me. It gives me 8 or 9 hours of sleep (minus potty breaks). When I was taking a full pill, I was sleeping more like 12 or 15 hours.

This morning, I woke up, paid some bills, went through some mail then out to breakfast for a brunch-date. It was nice, and unexpected. Thursday is usually our date night, but we are expecting my parents to sleep over tonight and help with chores around the house. They are such a blessing. I'm 33, and mom is driving 3 hours to come and do my laundry. How blessed am I?

After brunch, I finished going through mail some old mail and discarded quite a bit of old ads and CC offers that were filling our office. Had a great conversation with Heather about life in general, and keeping the babies in. :) I think Chad and I kept her on the phone for 2 hours. She's an awesome big sister. Very good at giving perspective when I get discombobulated.

I spent some time cooking, so we have a couple of meals that I can break up and freeze for Chad to take to work. This helps me to feel like I'm doing something to be a good wife. :-)

So glad that Justice is doing better, gaining weight, and already knows how to hold a pacifier in his mouth. Its hard to imagine that our babies are about the same size as he is. His birthdate was originally scheduled for 2 days before Noah and Naomi's.

Tomorrow is my Brother, Paul's, birthday. He was Captain Hammer for halloween, so I think we are going to have a Dr. Horrible/Captain Hammer themed party for him. Mom and Dad have offered to stay an extra day and watch the kids so we can all go out for dinner together! A rare occasion this will be. Please pray for Paul if he comes to your mind. He's going through a lot right now, hopefully this party will help.
