If you've spent much time around me, you would know how I remove stress - very loud playing of my favorite song. Ideally, it doesn't have words, but this will do for today!

Also - update on Annie-girl. For 4 days she did fantastic and now it's not so exciting. I'm sick of washing wet clothes, so we have returned to diapers for a month or so until she decides she really wants to do this. We did the same thing with Ben (tried for 2-3 days, then went back to diapers for a month, then were successful).
One other little treat about living with a 4 year old boy. Yesterday I bought an empty cornecopia (are they always empty? don't know...) because I have always wanted one, so I decided to spare $2.50 at Target! This morning it was a quiver for the arrows (pretend, of course) that he was shooting at a picture on the wall. I've given up trying to get him not to shoot because he makes everything into a gun - even his carrots the other day. Now, he is not allowed to 'shoot' at people. I just don't understand this need, although Andy laughs and says he did the same thing. I'd rather he make tunnels in the sandbox, hide army men in them and either flood the tunnels, shoot ketshup on them, or start a fire so them melt. Wait - same thing right? Oh, the childhood memories...
