I like that I get to have James around all day for 3 whole days. Although he's getting a taste of what it's really like to watch said youngin' for 3 days. Read this to see what this man tried to pull off yesterday.
Anyway, I spent yesterday afternoon baking goodies for the new neighbors. I realized we barely know anyone. I don't think either of our next door neighbors know our names. So, I decided to be a neighborly neighbor and take over some lemon poppyseed scones and cranberry & rosemary biscotti. They are really nice and around our age. She's from England. Kind of cool. Anyway, last night, James and I went out for Korean food while my mom happily had Olivia all to herself.
We didn't make it to church today because Olivia decided to stay up until 2:00 am and proceeded to wake up every couple of hours thereafter. It just wasn't going to happen.
I'm about to head to the store to buy stuff for our Labor Day meal. I'm making green tea ice cream. :-)

Men are SO bad when it comes to admitting they're not the best caregivers in the world. Try as they might, they a)won't take advice and b) keep insisting they know what they're doing even though it's clear to you AND Olivia, they don't. What I learned with the hubby is that he will NEVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS admit to me that looking after the bubby 24/7 is harder than his pissy 8hr/day job. He might admit it to his friends who are also dads, and of course I'll hear it via their wives, but NEVER EVER will he admit it to me. It's just the silly way men are. When the Hubby is on bubby duty, I still end up mixing and passing him the bottles, handing him frres nappies, taking the dirty ones away, fetchign the dummy etc - and OF COURSE HE THINKS THIS IS EASY! Thus - now when he's on duty I find things to do away from the house ;)
