1/14/10 Changes, B-town, Family and soup

After having to beg Ricky to do the smallest thing in our house, we are thrilled that Mike and his team --the two Dan's --come and get things done. They do them well and they aren't finished until you're pleased and satisfied. They worked in my bathroom, it will be done tomorrow, and the out dated meditation room. Luke and I are excited. Very.

We got on the road a little bit later than we hoped, but within reason. The weather was warm and al most spring like. OMG. I didn't have to wear a coat. After the frigid days we've had , this was weather heaven.

Luke went inside the school to pick up Xavier. He's growing up and so much more co operative. Also capable. we were worried that we couldn't attach X's car seat. He did it in a sec. So confident. At home he did all his homework without a word. He ate one small candy and a few apple slices. Then came the big change. After homework, X put on his X11 game--Bat Man Leggo. When it was time to stop playing and get ready for dinner out, I gave X five minutes to finish up. In five he closed the game and the t.v. set. A first. Oh my. He's growing up.

We went to "Up Town." Yummy but expensive. I love their black bean spicey soup. I also had a chicken and salsa wrap. I felt it was diet friendly. Hopefully.

We had good conversation and fun. X brought toys and played nicely. Violet is so very tired at this time of night. She liked the Ruby (of Max and Ruby fame) doll that I brought her. But would have rather had the Max doll because he's the little bro and she's the little sis. She has a new friend at day care. Anyway, she did her best although she was very tired. She did eat some of her dinner and that was very good.

I was tired on the way home. I had strong tea in the restaurant, so I could drive home. Still I was tired and had to really concentrate. There was a lot of traffic on 465. I was so, so tired.

Through grace we got home safe.

I'm happy that my fav show is on tonight, "Project Runway," and after the Models show. I have to get right up after the show and jump into action. Nothing extra. I hope.
