1. Andy is done with his 2nd year of law school - we are all thrilled and spent this entire day playing. We just hope he passed all of his classes as two might be tight!
2. I spent a fabulous 3 1/2 days in Utah while watching my niece perform as Belle in Beauty and the Beast - more on this later.
3. While I was gone, Annie got a package from Nonie that was a frilly, girly PURPLE dress that she absolutely loves because it matches her cast. I will take a picture tomorrow.
4. I went to a Women's Conference today and learned two things in a class: First, my thoughts are not fact. Second, too much daydreaming is not mentally healthy because looking to the future gets you anxious and looking in the past makes you depressed. It's all about enjoying the present.
5. Mitchell was the absolute BEST traveler and most flexible baby EVER as I shifted his schedule about 5 hours. I am paying for that now. He's become bored with life and reallllllllllly wants to crawl around. As he is not yet 6 months old, I'm not okay with this. He has also started to whine in the last few days - not the best.
6. Mitchell doesn't love food yet. I need to remember he is still not yet 6 months old (next week!), but he just doesn't really enjoy it. He won't open his mouth for it, yet won't shut his mouth any other time as he's always chewing on toys, toes, or just making noise.
7. Kids are so fabulous right now. Everyone is being so kind and gracious, with quick apologies and helping hands. They are excited about Mother's Day tomorrow.
8. I love talking to friendly, helpful people.
9. I'm ready for a road trip - good thing we have 3 of them planned for the summer!!! (Palmyra, Niagara Falls *US side,* Washington D.C., Dallas, and hopefully Chicago again! I also want to do an over-nighter in Pittsburgh, but I haven't cleared that one with the boss yet! I'm trying to figure out how to get us to Boston and Philadelphia...(I really want to retrace steps from National Treasure), but that might have to wait a few months.
10. I'm really tired, so I'm heading to bed. Good night!
