1. I neglected to mention here that mr. flea is now a US Patent author - a patent he wrote the application for, for software he played a key role in writing, in 2002 at The Company Run By The Crazy Dude, was approved last month. It is patent number 7,013,248. He's an Inventor!

2. Happy first birthday to Lillian! It is birthday season here on LJ (and in my real life, too).

3. Ideas for making life more bearable:
1. Do yoga on Casper non-bath nights. Every non-bath night.
2. Develop new bedtime routine: mr. flea is in charge of Casper bedtime. I can go to bed as early as 8pm if I need to. I will not lie with Casper to help her fall asleep or go to her in the night unless it is clearly a nightmare. mr. flea can choose to do these things if he feels like it.

4. Although I was contemplating suicide (and spanking) last night at 9:45 as Casper screamed for me, it did have its amusing points. After screaming "Mommy!" about 50 times, she switched over and started screaming my actual name. Like maybe I was confused about who "Mommy" was, but surely I'd recognize my own name!

5. Unfortunately, some noise woke Casper and me at about 3:30 this morning - I think it was a possum in the recycling - and while she got quiet fast, I was then up (with a sore and throbbing toe! stubbed on mr. flea's sneaker!) until nearly 6. I can't win on the sleep thing - Casper keeps me up when I'm sleepy, and when it's quiet, I can't sleep.

Finished hemming slipcover.
Sewed pillow covers.
Cut out start of armadillo's quilt. It's very pretty.
Changed sheets and washed mattress cover and flipped mattress.
Washed slipcovers.
Read.
Talked to mother and former nanny on phone.
Ate chocolate ice cream for lunch.
Walked to Cosy and ogled Eileen Fisher clothing costing more than $150 (wool-viscose knee-length cherry-red skirt that I couldn't even try on; lavendar linen basketweave open jacket, slightly tarnished by 3/4 sleeves) and Dansko shoes costing more than $120, and sadly not available in my size.
Walked to Sam's Quik Stop and purchased cherry slushie for 99 cents.
Picked up Casper.
Went to art museum with Casper; sadly, missed opportunity for gourmet cupcakes as cafe closes at 4:30.
Picked buttercups.
Baked brownies.
Cooked black bean soup, sausage and rice.
Did half of yoga dvd with Casper, who liked it and lined up 12 assorted stuffed animals and dolls on the yoga mat (they are all doing yoga). Yoga feels GOOD.

See, if I had full-time day care and no job, life would be so easy! Okay, I'd get bored. But not for at least a month at this point!

In announcements, Happy 2nd birthday to Owen, Happy 1st birthday to Alex, and congratulations to my dear friend L. who successfully defended her doctoral dissertation in history this afternoon, and I hope is deeply involved with a bottle of champagne by now.
