What?!?! You did too?!?!

I dressed my toddlers and myself up like cowboy/ cowgirls for Toy Story 3 tonight. I'm pretty sure we were the only people in costume in the whole Jordon Commons. But my son looked adorable in his straw hat. So there.

I went to group therapy. And talked!

I cleaned out a cat litter box for the first time.

I whipped out some of my cooking skills, and now I'm feeling even more adventurous. (This is a rare event.)

Roasted veggies today. Pie tomorrow. Mmm...

I applied for 5 different jobs today.

Please to be crossing your fingers for me.

They're crossed!

You sound like me. I hope we're not applying for the same ones...

I've been applying to jobs all over the place.

But the bravest thing I did today was go to social dance club.

The bravest thing I did today was either run away from my brother trying to put a pin on me or messing up pi at the pulpit in the chapel. They were less brave (or at the very least less remarkable) than they sound.

I stopped nursing Dragon Baby today. Last nursing is gone. This is brave because a) that means I have to make sure to feed her enough food and healthy food b) because I have yet to get her to take a sippy cup or a cup and I'd rather not get her started on a bottle, so I'm gonna have my work cut out for me making sure she gets enough liquid (Yellow spoon fed her some milk this morning. That's how ridiculous this is.) and c) getting rid of the last nursing means my milk will dry up so there is no turning back if this doesn't work out.

Different cities, different job pools. No worries.

The bravest thing I've done so far today is the dishes. But I'm babysitting my little nieces for a few hours this afternoon, so it will probably end up being something to do with diapers or calling poison control. We'll see.

PS- This is probably my favorite baby name of all time.

It is a good one. But I think people do a pretty good job naming their kids! Voldemort, Baby Grape, Claudia, Baby Bones, Li'l Master, Baby Pending...

I think they're cute.

Vacuuming without my walker was my brave deed so far today!

I'm pretty sure Voldemort isn't exactly a cute name, but thanks all the same.

Why the hesitation to give Dragon Baby a bottle? Just because it's hard to get them off again? Voldy will be making the transition off of bottles next month, but he's been using sippy cups for a while, and I don't think it will be too hard for him to give them up. He's decent with a cup, too. You don't have too long to wait.

Yeah. Mostly I just don't have to wean her off a bottle, too. She's got a year only using bottles when I'm gone. She's even done decently with a cup, so I don't know why she's suddenly snubbing it. But we're going out of town this weekend, so I'm pretty sure we'll cave and let her use bottles more often. But we're still gonna try a cup as often as possible.

Take my 16-year-old sister driving. There were too many Failures to Yield for me to feel totally happy about her getting her license next week. If she passes.

I got out of bed, after arguing with myself for 10 minutes.

I called landscapers to do price comparisons.

I took my baby to get a CT scan today, and he couldn't eat for six hours beforehand, and couldn't have any liquids two hours beforehand.

All in all, it wasn't that bad.
