josh cooked a yummy breakfast this morning - eggs, bacon & whole wheat pancakes - but after eating it, josh and i both had pounding headaches. it was odd. neither of us have any food allergies that we're aware of, and we weren't nauseated or anything, so i'm pretty sure it was just a coincidence. josh raked a bunch of leaves and worked outside a lot yesterday, so he thinks his headache was due to allergies. i don't know why i got a headache, but it made me miserable all morning and early afternoon. and we both felt tired and sluggish, but i guess that was just a result of eating too much.
at 3:45 we dropped micah and rowan off at my dad and stepmom's house and we went out on our valentine's date. we had such a good time! we saw "seven pounds" (will smith) at the dollar theater in plano (good but terribly sad), then had dinner at amigo's restaurant, which is right down the street from our house. dinner was my dad's treat - a late christmas present - and, of course, they took care of the kids for us, so we owe the fun night out to them. it's so nice to eat dinner with josh and have an uninterrupted conversation with him.
josh had a funny, embarrassing moment at the restaurant. we happened to be seated a table next to a going-away party for the reverend charlotte coyle, who performed our wedding ceremony almost seven years ago, and who is the mother of one of my best friends from high school. she and her husband are moving to paris, tx. they stood up to give us hugs, and after josh hugged jake, my friend and charlotte's son, he turned to a guy standing nearby, and the guy said, "what, no hug?" josh shrugged, said "why not?" and hugged the guy... then looked around and said, "i don't think i know you." the guy wasn't with the going-away party, and didn't have any idea who we were - he was just a guy having a drink at the bar! haha : )
after picking the kids up from my dad's, we went to whole foods market to get some trail mix and other goodies. now we're at home, and in for another late night, because the kids both napped almost the entire time they were with my dad and stepmom. : / oh well! i am truly enjoying playing and pretending with micah lately. she loves to play dolls, so she hands me a doll and we sit down and pretend we're at a la leche league meeting, or at a playdate, and we introduce ourselves (micah always says, "it's such a pleasure to meet you!" now if i can get her to say this to real people, won't she be the well-mannered, polite little lady!) i'm also the way she falls asleep these days. as i've written about before, i've been trying to help her learn how to fall asleep without nursing. now we've gotten into a little routine where she gets a little bit of milk as we're getting snuggled into bed, then she lies down beside me. after i nurse rowan to sleep, roll over and rub her back or snuggle with her... and she just drifts off to sleep. : ) the only thing i still don't like about our sleep routine is that the TV is always on. i don't want my kids to need the TV to be on for them to fall asleep. i want them to learn how to quiet their minds and relax into sleep. maybe that's a little lofty for a toddler and a preschooler, but... still, i think it's important.
i've got no plans for tomorrow, and i like it that way! it's president's day, so i have the day off from babysitting. i plan to spend the day playing with my kids, maybe get outside somewhere if the weather's nice, and maybe phone some friends i haven't spoken to in a while.
