My day in review...

So, I have two lawn mowers and couldn't get either one of them to start today. I realized this after I had already got Jacob all situated in his walker outside and Nessa all situated on her chain in the back yard. I was determined to get rid of some of the tall weeds sprouting up so I took out my old pair of rusted sheers and trimmed up the front yard which took almost an hour. I went to the back yard and after a quick glance at the work ahead decided to call it a day with the sheers and took Jacob in the house for lunch. I quick glanced online to see if my surgery had been approved yet by Tricare and still no word. To put me in a better mood I made Jacob a Kids Cuisine and we sat down to share it for lunch. Kids Cuisines do make the world a little brighter.
I finally got my anniversary present from David. It was pots, pans, and cooking utensils. I was completely shocked that he had got me that. David seems to go more towards the impractical jewelry type gifts (which I love) so this was a nice surprise. I cleaned my pan cupboard and put them in there, still wrapped in the plastic. If I took the plastic off then they wouldn't be new! I now want to start cooking and trying new recipes in my new pans... Ahh, that's why David bought them for me. Sneaky, sneaky! He sure is good. I also opened my jewelry chest today and realized it's not full enough. Maybe I can work on David to get that filled up for Christmas. Oh, how I love my husband.
I was bored and on the Internet during Jacob's nap and stumbled across the website www.helium.com It is pretty cool. It's a place where you can write articles on whatever interests you and you make money somehow (haven't figured that out yet) by having them read and voted on. I set up an account and have already written some articles, it's fun expressing my opinion and reading others. My profile is http://www.helium.com/user/show/311189
My fun on helium.com was short lived and Jacob was up for another round. He is starting to like stories being read to him and I love having him sit on my lap without squirming so we read a bunch of books today. He was in bed by 9 pm tonight and that gave me some time to clean the bathroom. It looks great but I think I used a little too much cleaner because now I got a nice headache going on. I wanted to stay up and talk to David on messenger but don't know if I will make it.
Jacob's got a doctor appointment tomorrow, oh yippy. I am thinking since I will be on base maybe I should stop at the commissary, PX, and gas station to use some of the privileges I have. I should call the vet on base and see if I can get Nessa in for a check up some time soon. She is due on her shots and it's been awhile since she's gotten a check up.
Oh, the fun of being a mommy and Army wife....
Cleaning house while your child is young is like wiping your butt while you are still peeing.
