Yeah, we have a ton of steak in our freezer from our Costco trip last weekend, too. NY Strips, filets and a few tri-tips.

Oh, that's what I use and it works like a dream, Christine! I wonder if you are putting too much soap in there, and it's masking the smell of the vinegar? I think all you need is a few drops. I have apple-scented soap too.

Ugh. So it's 11:00 and I haven't started working yet! I woke up late, at 7:15...didn't get the kids out the door until 9:00...dropped the kids off...then stopped by Addison's elementary school to change my preference list and get the Y signup issues figured out. It turns out that if they are in the Y program, they are guaranteed a slot in early a.m. Kindy! I think I'm still going to keep her in the combined kindy/1st grade class, if they agree in the eval that she's ready for it.

Christine - I hope it's just your hormones stabilizing and you don't have PPD! Good for you for calling your doc though. So many moms let it go and are miserable.

I went to bed last night with something stuck in my fingernail and didn't know it. It was infected this morning! I cleaned it out and put peroxide on it. I hope that does the trick. I would hate to have to go to the doctor over something so silly!

I hit Target yesterday and got both kids a pair of shoes. Gabe's were too big and Addison's were too small. Aaarrrgh! Guess I'm going to Stride Rite this weekend. I just checked and their BOGO sale is good for a few more weeks. Yay! My luck though I still won't be able to find anything! I might have better luck at another Target for Gabe though. I found shoes I like there for him but had trouble finding his size.

I got some good naps in today and am feeling better. I'm sure new baby, kindy, and DH taking off for the weekend is just a bad combo with crazy hormone levels. I think A and I are both looking forward to Monday and settling into a routine.

Glad you got some rest today, Christine. Getting ready to send your big girl into elementary school is a tough enough adjustment, even without a new baby in the mix!

Today was sooo horrible.
I worked with one of my favorite guys. But he got stressed since all the patients came at once. So he was flippiing out

Am on way home. Going to the italian place for happy hour. Can't wait!!!!!
