So while they’ve been small things, I’ve been trying to get a few odd jobs done around the house these days. its felt really good, and I’ve enjoyed seeing little parts of our home tidied up, or just slightly less scattered than before. I don’t have the highest of standards, haha, but I’ll take any improvements that I can get.
Today, however, I didn’t really accomplish anything. I did dishes this morning, but thats pretty much the extent of it. The kdis and I did lots of playing, cuddling, and snacking. They did lots of pooping, so I did lots of changing, and our house did a lot of stinking. It was eventful without being productive, and I think thats fine.
One thing I did accomplish without really lifting a finger was booking a few appointments. I’m pretty bad for constantly pushing things back. Laela is pretty far behind in her shots right now. Let’s not all get on the vaccines debate please! We do the vaccines recommended by the health region at the recommended times, but while they’ll vaccinate anyone that isn’t fevering, I don’t feel good about taking them in until they’re in almost perfect health. Call me paranoid, but the doctors came to the conclusion that Dekker’s eyes crossed because his immune system just took too big of a hit in a short period of time. I don’t want to live in fear, and if Laela’s eyes are going to cross, they’re going to. But I haven’t felt comfortable taking her in for her shots recently. Whether its been a rash, a cold, or teething, every time I plan to take her in for shots, something comes up and plans get cancelled. Well, we are FINALLY all past that gnarly cold (for the moment anyway) and I have booked an appointment for Laela’s one year shots. She’ll be closing in on 16 months by the time we get there, but I’m not concerned, and feel like it was a good move. So I booked that finally, as well as a meeting with a life/disability insurance advisor. I got lots of suggestions from people a while back, but have currently opted to meet with someone who will come to my house after my kids are in bed. Yay! We’ll see if her plan fits our needs, but its good to get the ball rolling anyway. Both of those appointments are about a week and a half away, but they just happened to be the times that worked, so I took the appointments.
I know that seems pretty small, but it feels good to me to finally have that stuff in my calendar. Plans always feel good.
As for plans, Brady and I have some big-ish plans for tomorrow, but I don’t want to say too terribly much in case none of it happens, because I’ll be super embarrassed, haha! But stay tuned for some potential productivity!
** Lastly, and completely off topic, I said a while back that baby Jim was wildly and completely breech. I don’t know much, but I haven’t felt those sharp, low, LOW kicks in a few days, and I’m feeling many more pokes and spanning motions on the top of my tummy. I’m really, really hoping this means he’s flipped. And REALLY hoping he’ll stay put. My kids have pretty significant noggins so gravity should aid us in this, but for those who have been praying, please don’t stop! We’ve gotta keep this baby head down!
