Jeff comes home tomorrow. I am very glad. I sure hope I can whip this house and my attitude into shape before I go get him at the airport. I'm totally unmotivated, tired and downright depressed. I forgot my pillow at Mom and Dad's. Hmph.

Emma came out of her room about 5 minutes into her naptime. She said she had to go potty and even though she had just gone, I let her get up there again. "All by self" she says to me. So I wait ( Read more... )
