I returned the rug we bought from IKEA sometime last week. I thought about renting a holiday tree from them (i.e. buy a tree for $x and then return it later $(less than x). They then mulch the trees. I decided not to, though.
We went over to Eve and Karl’s on Saturday to make holiday cookies and have dinner. We brought the Pack ‘n’ Play which LK eventually retired to after tormenting Satchel for most of the early evening. Miraculously, he slept soundly, and we stayed for a long time. I think we left around 11pm… I don’t remember the last time we stayed out that late. Normally we are always at home at 7pm to put LK down for the night.
It was great to see Eve and Karl as always. I think we talked too much about the grim economic times, though; I will have to steer conversations away from it because people can’t stop talking about it. Understandable, I suppose.
We bought a couple of baby gates, but they won’t work out, so I have to return them at some point.
I magnanimously helped the company I had been consulting for out of a jam, although I was tempted to let them crash and burn because they still have not paid me. I regret that now, really.
We had a parent conference at LK’s school/daycare today. It was interesting seeing how the school saw him hit various developmental milestones.
Amanda is on call tomorrow (Thursday) evening/Friday morning after her all day clinic plus after clinic meetings. Hopefully the laboring women wait until 8am on Friday to get to the hospital.
