judecorp | Productive Saturday

Hey Bostonians - Does anyone want to put me up next Saturday night? I am hoping to go to a Black 47 concert with my college roommate like old times but really am too old to drive back home after. And umm, a night of unbroken sleep? Come on! I'm housebroken and really want to take advantage of Jen's offer!

Since there is no denying that we have a totally mobile child (she has been army crawling for a good three weeks now but is full on four-on-the-floor with speed now), it was time to rearrange some things. I moved the TV stand into the corner so I could hide all of the wires and taped them all to the back of the stand, and pulled some of the breakable stuff off the lower shelf of the coffee table. Jen took the baby to the mall so I could spray-clean the life out of the TV and all of the electronics (man, they were gross) and came back with some of those square foam floor mats so we could put them down on the living room floor. The blankets I've had down there for a long time kept getting full of cat fur and I was tired of it. This is much better. Besides, the blankets never really padded the wood floor enough.

Punk has a runny nose and has been out of sorts on and off today. Poor little peanut. She went to bed at 6:30 and woke up crying at 7, absolutely refusing to go back into the crib. I was able to get her back to sleep on the futon and walk away easily, but I think she's just too sad and off-kilter that just the idea of the crib was too much.

I think we're going to try moving our bed against the wall so she can sleep there and we can take the futon out of her room. That way I can babyproof her room really well and she can play in there, too. Our house is too small to keep her only in the living room.

I am seriously sick of winter. We got MORE snow yesterday - probably about 10 inches. I feel like we'll never be able to play outside again. It's that time of year when you really start to feel like spring will never come. Punk and I are so tired of being cooped up in the house. But I did manage to make a banana bread today and even put some ground flax seed in it. Yum!
