Random thoughts in the middle of the night...

It's 4 AM.

I am wide awake.

It is storming pretty bad out.

One very loud thunder woke me up and that was it.

I came downstairs.

I am making lists.

Lots of lists.

I'm feeling very anxious about the next few weeks.

Wally had jury duty on Monday.

He was put on a jury and finished up yesterday.

His summer vacation finally begins.

This means I can breath a little easier.

The list on the refrigerator that I created a few weeks ago can finally start getting some things checked off of it.

I am thankful.

Our daycare is very flexible and allowing us to just go 2 days/week in June (as they always have) and we are able to keep Luke home all of July and until Wally starts school in mid-August (without paying!). Then he will go 2-days a week until I go back to work in October sometime.

How many lists can one person come up with.

The one list I dread the most though is always the grocery list.

Why is that?

Luke is officially paci-free.

On night #2, he asked for his paci and was heading towards the garbage to get it.

I told him he threw it away and was a big boy and he said ok and laid back down.

Last night, he didn't even mention it.

I feel good about it because I didn't push it or "lose" it. He willingly threw it in the garbage.

Luke was so sweet last night.

He was putting toys on my belly and watching them move up and down since the baby was moving.

He touched my belly and asked, "When my baby sister coming out?"

I told him in a few weeks.

He said, "Why?"

He is ready to meet her.

He then proceeded to get his baby doll, wrap him in his blankie and give him kisses.

Seriously, Luke is the sweetest boy ever!

Wouldn't you know that I am wide awake on the first morning where I don't have to take Luke to daycare and could actually sleep in an extra 15-20 minutes.

I made chocolate chip cookies last night.

You know the ones where you just add in a stick of butter and an egg.

I am so tempted to just sit and eat them all right now.

The only thing holding me back is we ran out of milk last night.

I can't have cookies without milk.

I guess I should get back to my lists or even better try to go back to sleep for a bit.
