On the verge of piecing......a new beginning

[TwinDad]

Julia,

Thanks for asking. The pageant went well. My W ended up staying home and I didn't have to babysit her friends boy. We had a good weekend. My D got 1st runner up in her age group, and my S won his (ok...he was the noly one again). Overall this pageant was pretty frustrating (started 1-1/2 hours late and poorly run). The kids had fun which was great. The pageant was a little disturbing....it was a swimsuit pageant and there were Mom's putting "spray-on" tan on their 4 yr old daughters and some of those 5 and 6 looked like they had the make-up on of a 20 yr old. We were proud that neither one of ours was like that.

Satruday morning we went and purchased new appliances for the house, only to have one of her friends call and say there was someone who might be intreested in buying the house and was going to look at it on Tuesday...it would be nice just to have a steady place to live...lol. Sunday we went to "party" at her aunts house and they had a swimming pool so that was a lot of fun.

The piecing seems to be going pretty good. The buying new appliances was a good thing for that (kind of like nesting). I do find myself looking for negatives that are not necessarily there, but at least I am able to keep them to myself and not let them show on the outside...only to find out my mind was playing tricks with me anyways. Ex. Normally on Sunday we have "wine night" which consists of bath, wine, massage, ML. Last night we had all except the ML (ok...so I am a male pig...lol). She said she was feeling sick and I thought she was just coming up with an excuse...never came out and said anything....then I started to feel nausious in the middle of the night. We eneded up joking about it in the middle of the night. There was a little baby at the pool party that really brought on the baby fever. This week ought to be pretty busy...my kids turn 3 on Saturday!

Overall a very good weekend. We need to start workign on your "work around the house week-end"
