my kitchen is a messsssss!!!! my friends jessica and temple visited me today, and my dirty dishes were a source of great embarrassment. luckily, i know that these two particular friends will love me no matter what. how nice to have friends like that... and i have many. : )
we went to the DMA last night, and had so much fun! micah was enthralled with all the sculptures ("why is that one missing a penis?") and paintings, especially one that featured a woman surrounded by gorgeous, blooming flowers and gorgeous, blonde cherub-like children, one of which is leaning in to her breast for some "milky milky", as micah has taken to calling it lately. we'll definitely be going back soon. general admission is free every thursday night after 5pm (which works well for us because our kids are such night owls), and every first tuesday of the month. there are lots of activities and exhibits geared towards kids micah's age. i'm looking forward to many more visits there! i remember loving the museum as a child.
tomorrow i wake up bright and early to go to a la leche league education day. i'm taking rowan with me because he isn't separating from me very happily right now. i'm worried about this, only because i've been thinking about working on the weekends, and i don't want him to be sad the whole time we're apart. i know he would get used to it, but... the thought of him being sad without me just bums me out. i remember it was hard with micah too, but on the weekends when i was working at whole foods, she would sleep until 10am or 11am and i'd be home by 3pm. so she didn't have to spend all that much awake time without me. rowan is a little bit more of an early riser. i don't know, i'm sure it would be fine; there would just be a short adjustment period, as there is with any change. i don't know why, but i'm a little more sensitive about rowan than i was/am with micah. i don't know if it has to do with his brief hospitalization (maybe because micah has never had any medical emergency or anything remotely like one) and rowan feels more fragile somehow to me, or if it's because he's a bit more sensitive himself. whatever the cause of it, it makes me feel a little guilty, like i love him more or something. which is ridiculous. : )
my knees have been hurting lately. i wonder if i'm going to have arthritic knees, like my grandmother, and have to have knee replacement surgery.
we went to playgroup this morning. it was such a warm, windy, lovely day to be outside. afterwards we played out front with the hose and the ride-on toys and micah's tricycle, with our neighbors. and this evening, after dinner (fast food - been having way too much of that lately) we went for a walk in the neighborhood. we stopped at the park for a little while and pushed the kids in the swings, and let them run around. rowan is fearless on the playground equipment; if we don't help him sit on his bum at the tops of slides, he'll just take a running leap off of them. i have a feeling more trips to the hospital are in his future...
