My Week in Numbers

1. Number of times super great husband cleaned out the fridge and discovered the source of "the smell".
2. Number of times Grace threw up on me at the doctor's office.
3. Number of tacos I ate yesterday. (Yes. I am a little gross)
4. Number of hours Grace watched Dora and Elmo while sick on Tuesday (Mother of the Year award for that one)
5. Number of times I wanted to flee the house to go on a wild shopping spree and end by checking myself into a spa.
6. Number of times I had to wash Grace's sheets because something bad happened
7. Number of children I once thought I wanted to have
8. Number of emails I received to alert me of sales on various websites, (Ann Taylor Loft and Gap I will be visiting you)
9. Number of minutes I can read my new book without getting bored. Has anyone else read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel? Is it going to get better, I'm already on page 123.
10. Number of presents I plan on buying myself for surviving this week of the baby stomach flu :)

Meredith-you have the cutest form of writing-You remind me of the girl on I capture the castle and how she writes. I know Grace has been sick-but how have you been feeling with this baby growing in your belly? I read earlier that your back was hurt really bad-is it still? If you need a break I would love to watch little Grace, just let me know! Hope you are happy!

What a clever post. I loved reading it. Sorry about having a sick baby though. I know that is no fun!

I can't take credit for the numbers format, I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere else :) Cathryn I'm doing fine, the baby is about a foot long- woo hoo! Thanks for the offer to watch Grace, I may take you up on that

Yuck. Seriously, the thought of having to deal with kids having the stomach flu was almost enough to keep me from having kids. Pathetic, I know but that's how much I hate the flu. Good luck!

So Funny! I started reading that book this week, too. I am about on page 150 and I'm not seriously entertained, yet.

That book was L-O-N-G but by the end I was hooked and stayed up almost all night reading.

Keep with it if you like magic-y books.
