Sunday Update

Well, here we are again. The week is gone and I actually have things to say. Take a peek!

1.  I hate hate hate bing sick.  This week the ninja and I are sharing a supremely awful cold that just will not go away. Even now she is still stuffy and clingy. I'm most of the way better, but now the hubby has it too which means it may come back for me as well. Sometimes I need another me for a few hours so I can sleep and eat and shower. Anybody have a cloning machine?

2. I'm actually beginning to feel like we are moving lately. Things are being boxed up and disappearing to the new house. We've picked paint and hope to get started on that work this week- a lovely pumpkin for the living/dining and a purply gray for the hall and master bed. I'm still deciding, but I think a creamy butter yellow for the ninja's room will be lovely. It's all beginning to look like home.

3. I made chicken enchiladas for dinner one night this week and they were a hit! It was also easier than I remembered, so this means I should probably cook for real more often. So frequently my meals turn into mix and heat or fried veggies on pasta. Blah.

4. There was an itty bitty month old baby at church today and when she cried I leaked like I haven't in months. It's crazy what that newborn cry will do to a poor nursing mama.

5. With the hubby working nights I've actually had time to read lately. It's been nice, though many of our books have been packed already so I'm stuck re reading a few old friends. This week it's The Hunger Games trilogy. Catching Fire is a close tie with Mockingjay for the best of the lot. What can I say, I'm a sucker for dystopian coming of age tales.

6. Ninja baby has learned how to climb on top of our coffee table (Plastic bins-so classy) and it was the single most terrifying thing to come around the corner and find her trying to jump from one to another. I don't call her the ninja for nothing.

7.  One of my friends is going from cloth diapering to disposable (sad news) due to a laundry/time issue. However, she is selling all her diapers (happy news!). I got a nice shiny purple one with Gandhi's "Be the change" quote on it. It's also got the breastfeeding and genital protection logos on it. It's really awesome, come warm weather I'll have to let the ninja wear it outside with only a shirt and shoes with it. The I can use it as a conversation starter.
