the worst auntie---ever :(

I DIDN'T MAIL my sweet nieces birthday gift!!!!

Her birthday is today. She's having a birthday party later this month, and auntie will get it together by then. I promise!

I have such lovely aspirations---some years I get everyone's birthday card out, and then many years go by with no cards. Same with Christmas cards. Now that I'm not working, I HAVE NO EXCUSE.

I am so pre-occupied! In better news, we are completely ready for Isaac to arrive and it could be any moment now. TICK TOCK. It can't come soon enough for me. Bags are packed, doggies are registered at the kennel, car seat is (almost) installed.

Apparently the little bundle weighs between 6-7 pounds--BIG. And mommy feels HUGE. She's only gained 35 pounds--but it might as well be 835 pounds because she feels like doo doo. And watching her walk is comical. I promise to do more photos.

The doggies have been SUPER cute and fun. I'm telling you, the TREADMILL is like mommy paradise. No chewed shoes, no doggie accidents (ok, fewer doggie accidents), and no doggie arguing and jumping on grama. Tired doggies are the best thing ever.

The house is almost ready! August 27th! We move in that weekend. Happiness!


Dave's school starts soon too! He's got his class schedule and he's starting to be excited. I hope he feels very inspired and like this was the right thing for him. The disarmly handsome, classically prince charming-esque, love of my life turns 40 in a few weeks! Complete with ice cream cake and a trip to the movies to see Batman. Times have sure changed from when we were DINKS.

Boring today...I know. Nothing funny about the medical supply store, support hosiery, oxygen machines, prescription drugs, walkers, shower chairs, and doctor's appointments, and some emotional adjustment times. Perhaps there could be funny things--it just seems too serious and close to home to view anything about it with humour. It's not a big deal--just not funny.
