Ryan is lethally cute!

Adorable baby, bt!

Today is the first day my girl will spend with the nanny. My stomach is all flibbidyjibbit because of it.

(((Sparky))). Calm-ma to you.

{{{{Sparky}}}} It's hard to leave them in someone else's hands, but you and your husband have done your homework to find the best care arrangement you can provide.

It is indeed lovely to see BT in this baby-worshiping chapter of his life.

The flibbidyjibbits are perfectly understandable. Your head knows she'll be fine, but your stomach can't be convinced.

Have a safe drive back to the land of heat and humidity, Laura.

I was awakened by a cramp of my entire lower body. I managed to stretch the cramping out of my legs, but my back still hates me. I have no idea where that came from, but there was no going back to sleep. Fortunately, I already had an appointment today with the World's Best Chiropractor. It didn't help that Mr Peabody made me let him out to chase cobblies at 2 a.m.

The coffee maker leaked all over the counter. It's already hot outside. Can I have a do-over?

do-over~ma (?!? hell, i'd like some too) to Ginger.

sparky, the nanny will be wonderful - and K won't eat her on the first day.

Is this steampunk tales iPhone app anything to do with Jilli? [link]

Exactly. It's not going to be a productive day for me because I'm preoccupied with "I wonder if she's okay. Of course she's okay. But I wonder if she's really okay."

ION, the DH and I spent a good chunk of the weekend cleaning out the basement and setting up the playroom for the nanny and the toddler who shares the nanny. This meant that we got rid of a bunch of furniture that we were no longer using, only to have the nanny ask this morning if we had any extra furniture to give/sell away because her daughter is off to college. Arg! I still have a loveseat I can give her, but we would have happily sold her a little oak kitchen table I had for a token payment if I'd known.

K eats like a wee piggy during the day because she sleeps through the night. Got to get all those calories in!

Heh. Ryan's got Daddy's number! He really is deadly cute, billytea

We found a leak on our family room ceiling and we're not sure where the water's coming from. Need to get a contractor in here asap to track it down. Feh.

I don't know whether I need to replace the battery or what. The Auto function on the windows (one push up and down) isn't working, which makes me think the battery's still very low. And I don't know if it will just die on me in the morning or when I try to go home from work or whatever. Man, I don't need this. Le sigh.

Do you have a warranty? If either your battery can't be brought back from a drain down, or your charging system can't bring it up to full charge, it might be worth checking.

Ick! Insect white-font: There were several fruit flies trapped underneath the plastic wrap covering my homemade banana bread. Such a waste!
