TGIF

Tired and brain fogged. Just don’t seem to sleep well lately. Maybe if I can ever get Alan into his room and to bed earlier I won’t stay up and surf.

Yesterday walking home I passed BB Kings on 42nd Street. A lot of times there is a line for the show that night. I often see a crowd dressed for metal/alternative music waiting. Last night the tiny line seemed to consist of white haired women – at first I thought they were waiting for a bus or taxi. Then I saw who was playing – Wayne Newton! I suspect it was a very polite crowd!

We went to Boston Market for dinner – saw Alan’s daycare classmates (twins) there. I think they ate better than Alan – all he had was creamed spinach, a little mashed potato, water, ice (he munched it!) and ½ a corn bread. No turkey and gravy. Then we went to Target to check out the toys on 75% off. Because I was with Mark, we didn’t get much – a Spongebob playset for 1.98 and a bouncy ball (for .24 cents!). Mark also got a box of synder’s pretzels, his favorites. Actually, this was all on Target – I bought soda on sale recently – 4 12 packs for 10.00 with a 5.00 gift card. I still have 29 cents on the card!

When we got home, Nick was playing a 10th anniversary of Blues Clues special. Then this morning after Miffy, they put the same special on Noggin. I got sucked into it and was almost late. It seemed weird to run it at 7:50 AM.

We were going to go to the beach Sunday but alas it will be too hot and humid. I think we will be lucky to swim in the pool. Saturday I need to take Alan to Stride Rite for shoes for the fall (or at least get him measured). At least we won’t be going to my SIL’s in Jersey City – not fun on a hot day.

My daughter just LOVES the creamed spinach there too! I thought I had the rare child that just loves spinach! I ask "Hey, how about some spinach with dinner tonight?" And I get as big a "Yay!" as if I'd offered chocolate cake.

It seems like her feet hardly grew at all for a while. I just had her measured at Stride Rite - and she went from a 7 to a nine almost overnight. Wow ... those litte cute feet are growing *small sentimental sob*

I haven't been sleeping well either. Jeff said that while we were on vacation I pretty much didn't stop moving in my sleep all night. Add to that the fact that the kids were sleeping in the same room and didn't exactly go to bed early and I am exhausted now too. I might go talk to our doctor about it.

We went to Boston Market Wed night on the way home from PA. The kids love it because they get to choose their side dishes.

I need to go to Target to get a birthday present for a party - hopefully I can find something at 75% off. That would be very nice for a change.

Stay cool!
