So I am making dinner: Salmon with Mustard Caper Butter, Crushed Yukon Gold Potatoes and Asparagus. I hope it will be yummy. I am trying to time it perfectly so that it will be ready right when Rob gets home (fat chance though).
The fact that I cut my hours at work a few months ago in preparation to be home full time once the baby gets here was such a good thing. It would have been a shock to me to try to figure out what to do with myself if I had quit all of a sudden instead of gradually. But now I am really learning how to fill my days and I love being so productive. I know that once the baby is here there will always be plenty to do, but I am glad I have had this time to get excited about trying to be crafty (something I am not) and decorate our home and really make it a wonderful place (I am being inspired to do this by my cousins blog allthingsthrify.blogspot.com. She is truly amazing). I guess my mind is just filling up with all these things to do. Oh, time to put the salmon in the skillet....
Mmm, it smells good. Anyway, today I wrote my grocery list (looking off of my planned meals for the coming week), went to the grocery store, went and added things to our registry at Babies-R-Us, got the oil changed in my car (it was the perfect day, they were having a half-off special and I didn't even know), made appointments to interview possible pediatricians, planned my Sunday School lesson (on appreciating our membership in the church, I am excited; hope the Deacons and Beehives are too) and made dinner (well, am currently making). Flip salmon and drain potatoes....
I am a little ahead of myself, I hope Rob isn't late. I can't wait for him to get home. That is another thing we are adjusting to. We are so used to being able to see each other at work. I call him every day I am not there now (today - three times) but it is not the same. We just have to keep reminding ourselves that this is what we want. Okay, now I have to crush the potatoes and fry them in the skillet....
Door to door salesmen, that is something else I am going to have to get used to. Man, that really threw me off. Now dinner will probably be cold when we eat it. Umm, since this post isn't really about anything I guess I can just end it now. But I need to blog more and that is what this attempt, just trying to blog more. Maybe I will just do this everyday, no matter how boring it is and then I will both get better at it and more used to it...
We'll see.

We loved having Brent Pugh as a pediatrician for Claire. He was wonderful and careful. And he even opened his office in the middle of the night the day Kyle was born because Claire had ear infections. Because we knew him we felt he had a vested interest in her well-being.
ReplyDeleteHe's a little out of the way, but I felt so much better knowing him.
Perhaps a "no soliciting" sign is needed for the front door . . .
