Finishing up cleaning for today. Only thing left on normal cleaning schedule is the vacuuming. Lexi is asleep right now so I have to wait. I really need to do some organizing and “deep” cleaning but now I’m hesitant to get into anything since she will probably be up soon. So I’m writing this instead!

Last night we went to Moe’s to eat. Coincidentally it was Cinco de Mayo and we got a free t-shirt. We took the girls to the mall to let them play in their play area and get some energy out. Emma and Lexi were so cute together. If Emma couldn’t find Lexi, she would run over and say Where’s my sissy?! One time we caught Lexi looking for Emma and when she found her over by us, she ran over, gave Emma a hug and started patting her on her back. Lexi does love her big sister! And Emma is miss mother hen to her little sister. When we got home we re-arranged our living room. It may be temporary because I think I like it the other way better but we both have been dying to do it for months. At least it’s a little change. I’m really in the mood to start moving things around. Even the decorations or something. I’m home so much that I need a change of scenery every once in awhile.

Today is Fest-i-fun, our local spring festival. I took the girls early this morning and stayed for almost 2 hours. I was very proud of myself since I was the only one with them. We had fun riding on the train together and another ride. We got Emma’s face painted a listened to some of the elementary school choruses sing. We left when Lexi got antsy and I was broke–those fair rides were expensive when we had all 3 of us riding on them! Emma ended up going back over there with MIL. She should be good and tired when she gets home. I really hope she gets a nap because she was really needing one yesterday. I’m actually glad she slept at home last night so we could make sure she got to sleep a little early.

In other very exciting news, my retainer broke this morning. It kept hurting when I put it in and lo and behold I was trying to stick a broken wire that was sticking out into my gums. Which is not good. Because the top one they are making me is $300 and now they are going to have to make me a bottom one. And really, I’m more upset that I was actually wearing the dern thing and now I won’t be able to get another for a few weeks I bet. Oh, and I think when and if I get my teeth back straight, I’m going to get the Zoom whitening done. A dr around here has a special for new patients for $450. If we sell our Jeep, we could swing that.
