Just another day

Well, it's been a good week, I went to my sister's house on Monday and stayed until Wednesday. I've got some good pictures of my nephew Cooper, but I'll have to get them uploaded to the computer before I can post them on here. He's so stinkin' cute! He and Zoey are the same age, my sister and I had the same due date, but Zoey came three days before Cooper and neither of them on the date they had given us-thank God for that because they were big babies! But he just towers over Zoey and weighs about 5 pounds more than her. That's ok I think she is still meaner though, she hit him on the head with his toy hammer and left a bruise. I felt so bad, but my sister says that we'll have to come over more often to toughen him up...hehehe. He's a pretty good baby too, usually in a good mood and man can he make some funny faces. I'm so glad my sister and I got to experience these two together.
Well Tuesday was Jade's birthday, she turned 9. Today, Caleb and I are taking her and 3 of her friends and Sesleigh of course up to the cosmetology school that my friend goes to. The girls are going to get a fancy up do and their nails done...ooh la la! Then we are going to Monicals to have some of the best pizza around. Then we will come back to the house and have ice cream cake (that I made!) and the girls will spend the night. I think Caleb and I will need a vacation after they leave tomorrow, I'm already worn out just typing it!
Yesterday was a long and involved day. I went for a walk/run with my mom in the morning, then took the girls to the library for the magician show, then went to my friend's house to put together her elliptical machine-that's right I put it together all by myself (I'm pretty proud of myself for that). Then we came back here and I started the ice cream cake, then I did some laundry, made supper, did dishes, did more laundry, worked some more on the ice cream cake, gave baths, more laundry, and finally finished the ice cream cake. Whew! By the end of the day I was grouchy and ready to crash, but Caleb and Zoey both were up all night...so begins another day! I don't think it's going to be much better today either, what do you think? Sometimes I wonder why nobody pays stay-at-home moms, it's unreal. I think Rosanne said it best when she says that being a stay-at-home mom is like being a doctor, only the hours are longer and it's way bloodier! The pay is also way worse, but I get rewarded in a way that is so much more meaningful when I see my kids laugh and play and do the right thing!
