waiting day

Today I'm waiting around for Sam to get home. We dropped off my mom this morning and then had another hibernating day of playing at home. I may be a wuss, but I just don't like to go through all the work of bundling up for a walk when we'll both be frozen after a few minutes and come right back. But I think I am done hibernating now, so I'm glad it's supposed to be warmer tomorrow. Hopefully I can convince Sam to take his recovery nap while Lucy takes hers so I can go out for a bit.

Make music, Grandma!

Sam's flight is delayed until 11:30, and that's frustrating. My mom and I spent our evenings all week watching the BBC's adaptation of Bleak House, and we had to stay up till past 11 to finish it last night. After almost 9 hours, we couldn't just leave it! But thus I am tired and not excited to stay up past midnight. I'll go to bed with the phone, I suppose.

Have pockets, Grandma!

I probably should have left the house today, since we have a drop of milk, one egg, one banana, and a few apples in the fridge. That's possibly not the best welcome. Alas, it is too late now. But I might be able to scrounge up all the things to make this for breakfast, so perhaps I will be forgiven.

It's a tea party, Grandma!

It was fun to have my mom here this week. She was a Very Useful Engine and I have a vacuumed house and a SPARKLY kitchen. I also finished knitting Sam's toque and started on some legwarmers. We went to the conservatory and the quilt shop; she got her McNally Robinson fix while I was at my mom's group, and I got the chance to go to my midwife and chiropractor WITHOUT Lucy and sometimes that is just plain awesome. I'm really glad she came, otherwise this cold week would have been much longer. And Lucy (as you can see) had a great time with Grandma Plenert.

Learning free throws, Grandma!

So tonight I need to do something other than wallow in misery and eat chocolate chips. My pelvis/back/hips have been really REALLY bothering me still so I should try to loosen them up. I hate not being able to go for long walks. I should make popcorn so I don't remember that we buy chocolate chips in Costco bags and therefore have LOTS. I should probably watch a movie (maybe not a 9-hour one) and knit.

Have a nice weekend!
