Sunday
I've been a slump all day. I'm supposed to be working but husband is sick and I got a call this afternoon saying my dad is in the hospital with chest pains. I talked to him tonight and they haven't found anything yet. He's had these chest pains for six weeks but they got a lot worse today.

I can't really concentrate so I've been reading about gardening and rhododendrons today. Landscaping is tricky business, especially when you know as little about gardening as I do. I've been reading about clay soil improvement, plant hardiness, composting and all kinds of things. I'm suddenly feeling a little intimidated by my yard. Although, I'm chuffed because we just discovered a large pile of really nice rocks behind our back fence. We should be able to create something quite interesting with them.

Monday
Well, my dad seems to be fine. After loads of tests, they've found nothing at all. However, he's still having chest pains. I'm not sure what to think about it. I keep worrying he's going to drop dead from years of alcohol and drug abuse even though he doesn't do much now beyond smoking. The chest pains are making him think it's time to give up smoking, which would be a good thing.

blueberries
My new favorite product is Wyman's frozen wild blueberries. They're really good and make it that much easier to have blueberries on your cereal all the time. Hooray! For me, it's more like having some cereal on my blueberries. I think I've eaten at least two bowls of blueberries today. They're going to be awesome for summer too. I used to freeze grapes to munch on for snacks but these are better.

kiddos
Ro boy's potty training is going excellently --- as long as he's in the buff. However, clothes throw him off. He doesn't interpret the signal to go early enough to get his pants off in time. He really likes the potty though. People keep telling me that he'll regress once the baby is born. I hope not. It would be lovely to have only one in diapers at a time.

Today, I hate every name on our girl name list and I feel like I'm back at square one. Maybe I'll feel differently tomorrow. I've been thinking about the name, Naila, as well. Hmmmmm. Similar to ayla but more obvious pronunciation. I feel like all the names in the world are just starting to blur together and none of them really stick out to me anymore.

I think I'm getting husband's sinus crap. ick.
I get my hair cut tomorrow. yay.
Two updates in a week. Unusual for me these days.
