Factoids

I have a random list of oddities to share.  The best word is probably “tidbits,” but as that word has been pretty commonly used this week in title, I thought I’d change things up a bit.  Aren’t you glad you have me?

We actually went to story time at the library yesterday for the first time.  I’ll admit, it was sheer cowardice on my part, not taking the twins before now.  But I figured we’d better start sometime.  And I knew Karen and Jason would be there yesterday, too, so that helped keep me from chickening out.

They did fine, too.  Erin got really clingy and cried a bit when we first walked into the room.  I think she doesn’t like big crowds.  But she got over it.  They mostly just watched the other kids participate.  But for a first try, I think I would call it a success!

We got some groceries on Tuesday.  I was super-excited to watch my total drop from over $200 to just over $150 with coupons/Kroger card applied.  Love that!

I’ve been pretty tired this week.  I’m having trouble getting comfortable.  Or I wake up and my brain turns on, so I can’t go back to sleep.  Last night, that happened, and both of the twins needed me between 11 and midnight.  I hope this doesn’t mean our cycle is heading back to nightly wake-up calls…

I tried a one-nap schedule yesterday (story time is at 10:30).  Alex barely made it home without dozing off.  And they did take about a 3 hour nap (noon-3).  But they were really whiny and needy by evening.  So they had an early bedtime.  I think we are heading toward the one-nap days, but we aren’t there yet.

I was going to think of some place to go today, but I’ve decided to stay home and try to get some chores done.  We’ll see what I accomplish…

Tonight, I get to go hang with some ladies from the Twins Club for supper.  Eric and the babies will have homemade pizza for dinner.  And he’ll handle bedtime.  Gotta love that!

I had to remind the ants again this morning why they should avoid my counters.  I hate ants.  I hope they give up soon…

This week started the new seasons of our favorite SyFy shows: Warehouse 13 and Eureka.  We watched W13 last night (recorded).  Eureka is on Friday nights, so it’s scheduled to record already.  Yay for funny/witty/well-written shows that I’ve had to wait 9 months to see new episodes of!

And that, I think, is the last of the factoids I’ve got to share right now.   Happy Thursday!
