my interview at papyrus yesterday afternoon went very well. i basically have a job there, beginning next month sometime. i'm so excited!! the store is so enticing, and the manager seemed like someone i will get along with wonderfully. i'm looking forward to the new experience. this will be the third job i've ever had. : ) i worked for the barnes & noble by my high school when i was 16 and 17, then whole foods market from the time i turned 18 until right before rowan was born (with an 18-month break in between, when micah was born) - for a total of 8 years.
josh and i went on a date last night and had so much fun! two of the original members of bob marley's band, the wailers, along with several added members, performed at a KNON 89.3 sponsored reggae event at poor david's pub last night, and josh being the bob marley fan that he is, we could not miss it. the show was incredible!! they performed all of bob marley's most popular, well-loved songs, like no woman no cry, one love, redemption song, get up stand up, etc. all the ones we listen to and sing along with all the time. i had such a good time dancing and singing! it'd been a while since i'd been to a concert, and i wasn't sure if my inhibitions would be too well set in for me to enjoy moving around to the music. but i could not stand still. : ) bob marley is josh's absolute favorite musician, i'd say, but he and his music mean quite a lot to me too. as the whole room sang redemption song at the top of their lungs last night, all i could think about was the many late nights i spent walking the floor with micah, when she was a baby, softly singing that song to her as she fell asleep. the two back-up singers i was especially impressed with last night; one of them, in particular, had an amazing, gospel-esque voice. it was just a killer performance; we enjoyed it thoroughly.
my mom and wesley took care of micah and rowan for us, and they had a good time too. we dropped them off over at mama's house around 8, they played with mama, wesley and maya until around 10 or 10:30, then wesley walked them back to our house in the stroller (earlier, i'd driven down the street to their house with rowan while josh strolled with micah, so the stroller would be down there for wesley to use later - this saved us the hassle of moving two car seats from our car to wesley's). when they got here, wesley got them straight into bed. micah watched dora the explorer in bed while wesley walked around with rowan until he passed out, which took about 30 minutes. then micah finally drifted off to sleep as well, after some cereal and some more dora. this was quite a milestone for us; except for during rowan's hospitalization, it was the first time both our kids have gone to sleep for the night without either one of us there! it was so very nice to just be able to come home and slip into bed next to them.
this evening, we had a lovely dinner over at our friends' house in anna - little town north of mckinney. they have a daughter micah's age, and they had a blast together. rowan fell asleep on the way home, and micah fell asleep soon after we got home... but i made the mistake of trying to sneak a pull-up on her, because she hadn't used the bathroom in quite a while before falling asleep. well, it woke her up, and it took me about 30 minutes to get her to go back to sleep. argh!! lesson learned: either make sure she goes to the bathroom, regardless, or wait longer before trying to get the pull-up on without waking her.
