06.19.03 HAPPY
BIRTHDAY to Lil' Megan!
I haven't been in much of a journaling mood. As of late, my writings
have been lacking a certain something. I glance through past journals
and...GATDAM, they're boring! =T Yesterday was similar to the past couple of weeks...quiet. Ashlyn's sniffles gotten worse. Whenever her nose runs, she wipes it across her facee with the back of her hand. It's funny and gross at the same time. hehehe Well, she's learning....a definite step up from the past, when she would just let it run into her mouth. *YUCK!* HAHAHA! Last
night, we had a quiet dinner at home and watched "Fame"
on TV. I haven't been following this new contest and was immediately
drawn in by the opening number. I was 45 minutes into the 2-hour segment
when Grace called. She and James got the keys to their new pad and have
began prepping the house before the actual move. I had offered to help
her line her cabinets, shelves, and pantry with contact paper...and
she wanted to get started right away. I asked Aric to record the remainder
of the show for me before we left. Today
was kind of a hellish day for me. Ashlyn was being such a terror! It
was like, 'Let's Ruin The Carpet Day' today. Any, and every, way she
could possibly soil the carpet, she succeeded in doing so. Grace
called this afternoon, and I went over to help her finish up her kitchen.
During the 3 hours I was at Grace's [brand new] place, Ashlyn got into
more trouble. Tonight we grabbed dinner with Ed and Sue. We ate at A&J's in Irvine and got boba drinks at Lollicups. Ed and Sue wanted to see James and Grace's place so we headed over. Ed helped James and Jeff paint. I didn't help much....I was too busy keeping a watchful eye on Ashlyn. It turned out to be a fun evening...we hung out, played with the kiddies, and chatted up a storm. After dropping Ed and Sue off, Aric, Ashlyn, and I got home by midnight. I'm so tired. Ever since the poop-incident this morning, I've been wanting to crawl into bed and start the day over. *pleading* Let this be a bad dream. G'Nite! Pictures from tonight:
