just checking in to let y'all know that our week is actually progressing quite smoothly. turns out i don't need JR after all!
i'm acting more like a proper housewife in his absence. i've kept the kitchen clean (granted, i haven't actually been cooking, but i've diligently cleaned), i'm sorting and organizing the house, ian and i went through his toys to set aside stuff for a garage sale, i've laundered and folded clothes, and i even flipped and rotated our mattress. i'm not exactly sure what i'm trying to prove by being more housewife-y in JR's absence, but in some twisted sort of way maybe i'm just trying to show him that i can function quite well without a husband, and when he's at home he enables me to be a crappy housewife. i dunno. it feels pretty darn good being productive, though. now, can i keep it up after JR gets home on friday night? i'm really not sure.
in any case, i'm taking this opportunity to try to get maya to sleep better on her own. she actually goes down to sleep quite easily at night even though she's been teething (no walking around with her in my arms for more than 3 minutes!). of course, the pain is keeping her from napping during the day so she's exhausted by the time 9:30 rolls around, but at least she can get herself to sleep without throwing a fit. the other night she even slept for close to 6 hours straight! no luck the next night, but at least i got a good night's sleep for once (and i do sleep much better in bed alone).
today i'm off to have lunch with my friend A in west la. so looking forward to getting into "the city" and having a decent meal. then i'm making ian "breakfast for dinner" because it's fun and easy and i'm really not concerned with nutrition this week!
ciao!

Sounds like you're doing quite nicely! Girl. I LOVE sleeping alone. There, I've said it. But seriously? Andy snores so unutterably, horrifyingly LOUD! And takes up mucho room, and is really really hot... Enjoy it while you can.
I'm not sure what that super-de-duper housewife routine is that you've got going on up in there, but you're making me look bad, so I selfishly hope it's temporary. Not that I don't congratulate you heartily.
Maybe it's spring coming? Oh wait. That probably isn't such a factor in California, is it?
Mmmmmm.... breakfast for dinner....
French toast? Pancakes? Quiche?
Do tell.
Today I had Taco Bell while I waited during Ethan's choir rehearsal. He came out all excited because he was one of only SEVEN kids selected to sing with the Broadway touring company of Joseph and the Amazing Hoohah that's coming through town the last week in April. I'm really proud of him! And what a cool experience, to see what's involved in mounting a show like that, and to get to participate, even!
I'm totally jealous. This'll be the first time he's performed on an Indianapolis stage that I haven't. My boy!
Hope you enjoyed your lunch. It's always great to get out and about like that. Especially knowing that you just kicked butt on the home front! Where'd you go?
things are much better than i thought they would be. but i *am* tired and i'm looking forward to JR returning tonight.
and, don't worry, i'm not really planning on continuing with this housewife thing!
breakfast for dinner was french toast with bacon and eggs. i was going to make it, but my dad ended up cooking it for ian ... twice! he had the same thing this morning for breakfast too!
that is so fabulous that ethan will be performing with a broadway touring company!! he's well on his way to following in mom's footsteps. you should be proud that he's inherited your talent. maybe you can videotape a rehearsal?
lunch yesterday was at a place called literati cafe. the lentil soup was yummy, the turkey loaf sandwich was okay, and the creme brulee cheesecake was divine!
