. What are the first things that you do in the morning to start your day? Change Dawson's diaper and pee.

2. What are the last things that you do at night before going to bed? Get extra diaper and jammies for Dawson in case he soaks himself during the night. I also pee, put on lotion and miracle salve on my lips and kiss Josh goodnight.
3. What daily routine have you recently added to your day? Just today I set up a cleaning zone schedule to keep me on track with the deep house cleaning.

4. What routine do you wish you get rid of? dishes

5. What's the one thing that makes you feel like something is missing if you don't do it some point within your day? dustmopping the floor
I saw something kind of contradictory today that is funny but bothersome too. The lable that came along with an antibiotic said "Discard Unused Portion" and then right under that statement it said "Take Until Gone." If you are taking the stuff until its gone, what is the unused portion??!

Rock Star was great! The soundtrack rocked. I love 80's hair bands! I have to say that Marky Mark was a star in the wrong decade! If that was indeed him singing, he has a great rock 'n roll voice! Jennifer Anniston did a great job too. Josh found an oops in the beginning. They told us it was the early 80's in Pittsburg and then in almost the next moment, a mid 90's Chevy truck went by. LOL

We spent the morning at home and then went down to J's parents after D woke up from his morning nap. I hung around holding Dawson and felt unproductive. He took a 3 minute nap and then woke up so I got frustrated and took him home. Megan stayed with daddy and helped him with mulch. She has been wide open all day and went through 3 1/2 outfits! I think I need to remember to keep lots of clothes on hand this summer! After Dawson finally fell asleep (around 4!) I made a pair of Capris for myself and then got dinner going. I expect D to be up most of the evening as he slept until 6:30. :/ Megan should go to sleep fairly soon though. I'm glad Josh is home to help me these days. Even though its only 1 less hour of work every day at his new job, it is actually 1 1/2 hours when you count commuting time so its nice to see him come home a little after 7 at night.

The police are out in full force and then some these days. I'm not sure how long it will last, but they are doing their click it or ticket thing and there are 20some extra highway patrolmen riding around our county. Every other mile at least I see someone pulled over. Its a little nerveracking. I hope that I can remember to be good!

Well, I got little to nothing done today. Some laundry and I managed to not let the house go to hell. Dawson's ears are bothering him so I'll have to make him an appt for the Chiro in the morning. Poor baby. I would have taken him a week ago, but didn't have the money when I needed it. I'm sure he needs an adjustment though. Hes never been to the chiro and I regret not taking him after he was born. I put oil in his ears and he is resting now. I hope that he is able to sleep tonight. Mom and daddy came over to play with Megan and they helped me make dinner. Thankfully I got it started this afternoon so it wasn't all left for 4:00. I even got some blueberry muffins mixed and Mom helped Mimi fill up the muffin cups. After that, M wanted to help do everything.

Mimi is singing her alphabet along with her Alphabet bug these days. She mumbles through it but this is a big step for her. She has become very verbal the past coupld of months. D is trying his darndest to crawl, but he just can't get himself anywhere. Its funny, but I don't remember Megan ever trying to crawl, she just got up and went one day. SHe has done everything that way except talk. Its taken her quite awhile to catch up verbally.

We watched the DVD version of Original Sin last night. Hoo Boy~ There was one bedroom scene that was a bit much (actually it could be considered porn.) but as a whole it was very good. If you don't want to see a full blown sex scene, don't rent the unrated version of this movie.

Tonight we are watching Rock Star. I have heard good things about this movie so I hope we can sit and enjoy it quietly. I'm gonna work on my list of ingredients to order at the same time. I wanted to quilt but I'm too exhausted tonight...maybe tomorrow.

To Do This Week
Set up a zone schedule for my house cleaning
Work on Organizing my bill paying/finances
Clean out desk in den
Go through kids toys and put up all the stuff we don't use
work on order for bath product supplies
Clean out my tupperware cabinet {scary}
Get to a 1/2 way point on the top side of M's quilt. (almost there!!!)
Get the rest of the squares that I will need cut out (I did most of this last night, I have to work on white and denim pieces next)
Wash Diapers on Monday and Thursday nights (or Friday)
finish the hem on my pants
Go to Sam's Club
Grocery shopping
I have decided to make some bath and body products. My skin is in horrible condition and I just can't afford to buy it at the healthfood store. It shouldn't cost but 1/2 the price of what the hfs charges if I can make it myself. I will start with lotion and if that goes well, I'm going to make some facial cleansers, toners and hair emmolients. I've been using crap on my body and my body feels like crap...this has to change! I'm a little nervous, but it shouldn't be too hard to do. I'm excited. I'll order my supplies as soon as Josh gets paid this week. :)
