Tidbits, too

Two of my favorite blogging people titled a post this week with Tidbits, so I thought, hey - me, too! I can't seem to pull together any cohesive thoughts anyway. I think I am in a lull since the new year started.

1. Why do things go wrong and break when your husband is out of town? I could make a whole post about the mishaps I endure when Josh happens to be out of town. But today, it was the garage. It won't close. Good grief.

2. NO JOKE - I was behind a mail car today that had this on the back window to identify itself: U.S. MALE. NO JOKE. I thought perhaps it might be a joke, but on closer inspection it was not - it had the "makes frequent stops" sign, the U.S. Mail emblem sticker, a light on top, and it was complete with the steering wheel on the right side. U.S. MALE. Oh, please tell me I was not the only person on the road that noticed it.

3. Noah scratched a kid across the face today at school. I hate that I can't be there to correct it when it happens.

4. I think Anna's eyes are gonna stay blue...and I love that.

5. We joined a gym. For the first time in my life...I have a gym membership. That is so not me...the gym scene...but then again, neither is all the weight I have put on since college, so I guess this should even things out, no? Wish me, wish us, luck. If nothing else, Noah will have a ball on Family Nights getting to play in the warm pool and toss balls around in the gym. Josh is pretty excited about that too. :)

6. I am turning 30 in a month and a half...which is so not me either. :)

7. I read the entire Bible last year...I only skipped Ezekiel.

8. We did the Dinner A'Fare thing again (we used to do it when we lived in GA) and we are loving it. Totally recommend it if you have one of these near your home. That and having the cleaners come has really been a huge help in these early days with Anna.

9. We had two trees cut down in our yard this week and had three stumps ground out. It looks so much better now! You can actually see our house from the front instead of the tree blocking the view.

10. Noah has been talking and crying out and whining in his sleep. It is a little concerning, except for the fact that he doesn't seem to be bothered by it or woken up by it. Other weird fact...you can go in to check on him, his eyes will be open in the bed, but he will not respond...it's like he doesn't even know you are there. Could he be asleep but still have his eyes open? Isn't that a sort of sleepwalking-type behavior? Curious. Memo to me...mention this to his pediatrician at our next visit.

All for now...
