It's been a weird weekend. Saturday, I discovered that my phone had been chewed on one too many times, and the moisture in the headset port makes it think the headset is plugged in. I can't be heard or hear the other end, so it's pretty much only good for texting, which I never do anyway. Then, on Sunday, I went to log into my email, to discover that someone had hacked in and sent out some stupid email to all my contacts. I was able to get that figured out, but I'm still working on the phone. I really didn't want to have to buy a new one, but I suppose I'll have to. It's also incentive to finally get a land line. It's really not safe to not have one, considering how easy it would be to have my cell phone end up in the potty or something, and I don't want to be alone with the girls without any phone. So, good times there.
We had a busy week, and we spent Saturday catching up. The girls hadn't slept well all week, and we finally were all rested and happy on Sunday. We had thought about going up to Barnum for the weekend, and maybe doing some biking, go over to Holstein to see my Grandma, visit Patrick, and just relax a bit. But I couldn't get my butt in gear to get things packed or planned or anything on Saturday. I was just absolutely wiped out. Sunday I felt better, but by then it really only made sense for Travis to go visit Pat with his parents, so he drove up and back in the same day while the girls and I just played at home. Today we were much more productive, just getting things done around the house. It's nice to feel a little bit caught up.
Audrey is so very close to crawling. Tonight, I was moving her legs as she was moving her hands forward, and she thought it was hilarious. She's pretty mobile even without it, especially since she can back into a sitting position from her tummy. That helps a TON - she's so much happier being able to do that. We're down to nursing 3 times a day now, so I was pretty happy to say goodbye to nursing bras. She's picked up a bit of a cold, probably from daycare last week, and trying to get a kleenex up to her nose is a real battle, but it's only been a day so I still think it's cute. She's so very expressive, and so beautiful.
Travis took Emily to the ISU football season opener Thursday night, just the two of them. They were both so excited, it was really cute. They both had a great time, and made plans to go to the game where the Little Clone Club members get to go out on the field before the game. And of course, there was the marching band, which Emily LOVED. She was so smitten with it that she wanted to get out my trumpet last night. I handed her a mouthpiece and showed her how to buzz, and she totally got it, right away! She was too shy at first to try it with the trumpet, but when she did, she loved it! Travis got a video, which I'll try to post sometime. We played it again this afternoon, and it sounded only slightly less like a vuvuzela than her first try.
I don't think Emily has been napping at Janet's, so I'm going to ask Janet to check on her after 20 minutes and let her stay awake if she's not sleeping. I feel so bad for my little girl, staying awake in someone else's house for an hour and a half, all by herself!! She's so little, and all alone... :( I guess this daycare is okay overall, but I'm feeling more like it's a temporary thing until I'm ready to leave this job. I don't know exactly what I'm waiting for... it's hard to describe, but the current situation is seeming less and less appealing, and my girls are seeming more and more so. I'll know the final straw when I see it, right?
Oh, and I'm still trying to figure out the the Spanish language classes. I haven't gotten any more info, which is frustrating, but I really hope it works out. It seems like she's going to need another dimension to stretch her incredible mind, especially if she's going to be one of the oldest in her class once she starts school. She's already started counting around the house: uno, tres, quatro, cinco, space. :)
