Is It Time for School Yet?

My girls are out of school.  Can I send them back now?  I don't know if it's their closeness in age, but they sure know how to bicker!  I've told them several times now that they are not allowed to play with anyone else until they learn to play with each other.  So far, it hasn't worked too well.  

Yesterday felt like an extremely long day because I had no energy.  I cleaned up around my closet and a little in it, pitching everything I hadn't used/worn in the last few years.  It feels so good to see my floor again! 

We finally got our dog spayed on Tuesday, but it required driving in a torrential downpour (3 inches in an hour causes a whole lot of flooding).  Then, we had to get up early the next morning to pick her up.  She has to remain indoors for 7-10 days, and she is behaving sooo much better than she did a few months ago when she lived indoors.  My allergies were acting up terribly for having her indoors, and I don't really want her indoors a lot once we have a newborn, but she is acting sooo much better.  I haven't had to yell at her for jumping on anyone, and last night she was "herding" the girls around--very cute! 

Pregnancy update:  I lost another two pounds, which I can't figure out.  I'm not eating that great because I finally feel like eating--so I eat what sounds good.  I couldn't have pizza or garlic with my first two pregnancies, but this kids seems to like that kind of stuff.  No, I don't overeat it, but it's nice to be able to eat a little! 

I'm thinking of beginning a hat for one of my friend's babies, and then making one of my own.  I think I'll do the monkey hat again, with some alterations.  I didn't like how it just tied with yarn, so I'm going to crochet two flaps and add Velcro so no tying will be necessary.  I do have some clothes I have to mend, so perhaps I'll begin that today.  I also need to work on rearranging the office again and writing.  Now, to dig up the energy!
