Not much new here...

I think instead of morning sickness, this is hitting me more as evening sickness. Or evening stomach ache. Not really nausea, just a heavy uncomfortable feeling. Another question to put on the list for the appt this week!

So, due to my not feeling very good at all, we haven't done much recently. Melia and I did make banana choc chip muffins this afternoon, using a different recipe than I normally use. The results reminded me of why I love the mayo (I use sour cream) recipe. The muffins are just so moist, whereas these are just... normal. So, scrapping this recipe will be on my list of to-dos tomorrow :-)

And I experienced a good reason to help explain to some of you who wonder why I force Melia to take naps most of the time, even though she's four. Today was a no-nap day. This evening, we went to Gramps house for dinner with Mom. I got so frustrated! It was like she didn't comprehend what I was saying. Several times I would tell her something, only to have her immediately return to what she was doing and pay me no mind. She *looked* like she was listening, but most certainly was not. And the big difference? Normally, she does very well. I appreciate her help, and she enjoys listening and pleasing me. Most of the time we get along great. But she had to have a couple time outs tonight, and one time I just stopped them from failing to do what I told them to do, and did it myself. (This was effective, I think, because they both wanted to do it, and were not working together. Like I said-I think. We'll see.) Anyway, one example of why she needs her nap. Plus, because limiting her sleep only makes her wake up earlier, not later....! And I'll take as late as I can get! ;-)

I should try some of her sites-- I mainly use moneysavingmom, momsavingmoney, and others which do the coupon+sale matching for me! Less work!
Thanks!
