Yesterday was a better day. Peter went into work late because I was still dealing with sick, pukey Finn, who seems to have a 48 hour bug. Peter ran up to the store yesterday morning for sickie necessities and returned with a dozen red roses for mommy as well. Hadley kept saying it was her idea. I told her she was brilliant. Really really brilliant. She smiled and said “I know.”

Late afternoon we went for a walk to the park. On our way there it started to rain. We played for about 10 minutes before I thought we probably should get home. Then it started to rain HARD. Hadley and I were walking and Finn was in the covered stroller. She was not happy and wanted to get into the stroller too. The tantrum was about to reach level 10 until I had a random good idea. I told her we were fairies who would only fly when it was raining. She stopped sniffling and looked interested. I described her outfit in detail and she named herself Moondrops and me Sparkledust. She proceeded to flit and flutter home the rest of the way as we got soaked. The fairy thing went on for hours.

Finn just walks around with this dazed look on his face, poor baby. Feeling bad sucks. He follows me around and says “I want to hold you Mommy” which means he wants me to hold him. When he was smaller he would just put his arms up for me to hold him. I would say “You want me to hold you?” so he has translated “I want to be picked up” to “I want to hold you.” which is so adorable I don’t look forward to the day he stops. Same with him saying “Want Kwokwate, Mommy?” (Want Chocolate) Or when Hadley said “Look! Those animals love theirchother” She has issues with “each other” and says “Theirchother”, which I love. Yesterday she also said “Mom, get Finn away from me. I’m allergic to him.”

I watched the premiere of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” on FX last night and it was really really funny! This of course means it will be cancelled after one season.

I both love and dread Fridays. Dread because I inject Methotrexate and don’t know what havoc it will reek on me and love because it’s the weekend and Peter will be home! This weekend will be especially delicious as we recently found out Peter’s BFF and best man in our wedding will be in town. PBF! We’re going to have dinner at our house tonight and then tomorrow if he’s free we’re going to go out to dinner downtown. He said “If I can’t make it, I’ll try to let you know earlier so you can cancel your babysitter.”

I think I laughed out loud. Who cancels a babysitter when you don’t have to? Silly man. We will just go out without you! (But we will of course miss him and talk about him.) Then I think Sunday we’re going to hang out with the Munssons of West Seattle and the purtiest little baby ever, Solara.

To the woman who said she and her friends were having a “high waisted panty burning party” and then proceeded to go out together to buy Hanky Pankys, you are fantastic. I loved that story and thought about it for days.

Also…completely random sidenote….I heard Michael Jackson’s PYT on the radio this morning and while I was thinking “I love this song” suddenly I thought about how Michael Jackson is really a creepy pedophile and this song probably isn’t about some hot young woman but a 10 year old boy or something. Ew.

8 more days until Claire comes!
