Waiting for rain

Hurray for sleeping babies on warm nights! Now if my freaken neighbors can just keep their mouths shut outside, and not wake her up we'll be all set. It smells like rain, and the temp is slowly dropping from the amazing 80 it was today. A nice spring thunderstorm would be great I think.

I was supposed to go into work today, and was not looking forward to spending such a nice day without my kids and indoors. When my husband came home with a migraine and shaking I realized my plans just changed. Not exactly the way I wanted to get a day off, but oh well. He laid on the couch with an ice pack on his head, and I took the kids out in the back yard to play with their Crayola color bubbles. They are pretty cool actually. The last time we used them they came out of Gabe's shirt. This time I'm not so sure if it'll come out since we didn't rinse them right away. They are really bright though! It's sort of like blowing bubbles with tempera paint. Cy was very much enjoying smashing them with her little feet. She is an outdoor child for sure.

Yesterday we took Gabe to baseball practice. He's getting better. He is my son however and getting his feet and arms to move in a logical manor while thinking about what you are supposed to be doing is difficult. He'll get it some day. Hell, I'm almost thirty and at some point I figured out how to throw a ball. He will too.

I spent some time thinking about names for my doula practice...I'm still not any farther. Go figure. I need to set some deadlines for myself and get to work though. I also want to start running again. I need to quit my job. I need to get my daughter to go to sleep at the same time every night. Sigh...
