Both boys were down for naps (although, not necessarily sleeping) and I meant to do this, but got caught up in Friends reruns. Seriously, Momma needs her downtime.
Speaking of, Dr. Phil (which I caught a glimpse of while channel-surfing) was discussing whether moms are really that busy during the day. He made a very valid point which I had been trying to put into words. There's a difference between leisure and non-leisure time. For example, leisure is reading a magazine or book, or surfing the web, or watching TV. Non-leisure are those things that are not exactly enjoyable or personal, like tending to the kids, or doing the dishes, or working outside the home. I realized that I had been getting very little leisure time, even after Hubby came home. It's much better now, especially since my doing the dishes is done while brewing a cup of tea. And Hubby's been super lately without me bugging him about it. I even had a whole afternoon of window-shopping to myself! And I needed it. The usual schedule is non-leisure from the moment I wake up until the kids are in bed. And even after that, I'm taking out the recycling or loading the dishwasher or preparing for the inevitable 5am waking with JC. Soooo, leisure time had been reduced to about an hour a day. Totally unacceptable. No wonder I've been going crazy. :)
My friends are having a boy, which I'm thrilled about!! It's their first kid, so they're going through all that first-timer uncertainties, but they've been great with LB so I think they will be fine. Plus, boys are fun!
Hubby's cousin is also preggers again. Didn't find this out until today, which is strange... usually my MIL knows about things like this but we hadn't heard anything. Maybe it's not a well-known fact, but it was on FB...
Facebook is totally robbing everyone of their privacy. I recently revamped my profile, taking down about 70% of all my personal info. I'd already set my privacy settings, but really, do people need to know what movies I like? Anyone that doesn't know that is already on my limited profile list (yeah, I use it!).
Biggest Loser is on tonight. I'm addicted. I even got Hubby addicted, which I consider a feat since he dislikes reality shows and really dislikes fat people crying. He even nicknames his tough workouts his "last chance workout". Both of us are pretty busted that they are using the show to advertise crap, though. Nothing is worse than getting into a show and blatantly being solicited Scrubbing Bubbles.
Had a waldorf salad for dinner. Kinda. I made it up, based on CPK's waldorf. Red leaf lettuce, Granny Smith apples, celery, grapes, craisins, roasted walnuts, bleu cheese, and balsamic vinegarette, yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
