Bits from today
Feb. 19th, 2005 06:46 pmEarlier today, I'd bathed Maggie and she was watching me bathe Jamie, wrapped in her towel. When I finished and turned off the spout, she said "Bye-bye water!", which she's done before. This time she added, "thanks for helping!"
We were out on errands, and I was telling Karl that regretfully I thought I should give up on going to the monthly knitting get-together tomorrow, even though I'd had to miss the last two months, in favor of sending him to help Tim Miller move stuff out of his house into storage, to help them have the house more ready for the baby they just had. After all, I'd been saying that we needed to have more community support for mothers and children, and it behooved us to help put out more of that ourselves. So in the spirit of the phrase, "put your money where your mouth is", I told him "I need to put my husband where my mouth is!" He laughed hysterically. Really, that was much more risque out loud than it had been in my head.
And, in the scorecard of learning to be more independent, I just changed the overhead fluorescent lights in the kitchen by myself. Doesn't sound like much, but I hadn't known how to before. Now I do.
