Second day in a row!

Not to brag, but this is totally my second day in a row to sit down and blog! I just know that I really need to recommit myself to writing. I always feel so much better when I do; it's very cleansing for me. I can get off the "this is what I did today" nonsense and dig into deeper, more thougthful things. But then again, guess what I did today? :) The morning started off on the wrong foot. I am horrible in the mornings. I just don't understand how people can wake up and be... chipper. Ugh. Coffee doesn't do it; a shower doesn't do it-- there isn't much of anything that can get me all up-and-at-'em first thing in the morning. Of course, this has lead to many an argument between me and the hubs. See, while he's not exactly a morning person either, he can at least motivate himself far better than I can. So I sort of depend on him to get up with E, get breakfast going and leave me to ogre-like self. When he doesn't, I get almost hateful with him (and subsequently spend the rest of the day apologizing). I thought we had worked out an agreement; he would take his shower and finish up the dishes in the evening (I do laundry and day-to-day stuff to keep the household running, and usually do dishes, too), so that he could get up and get things moving in the a.m. and I could just drag myself out of bed and into the shower. Heck, I even often make breakfast the night before. Last night, I made some awesome whole grain blueberry muffins, so it's not even like he has to cook. But this morning was rough-- and I mean, ruff kind of rough. Jason showered and did dishes this morning, so there was no hot water left for me. I had a horrific headache and just felt crappy in general. He was pissy; I was pissy-- it did not make for a fun place to be so early in the day.
We got over it and ended up having a decent day. I managed to get Ethan out and we went to the bookstore for a bit (to pick up a Father's Day gift for Jason's dad; still have no idea what to get my own dad), played with the train set there and then got grocery shopping done and dinner made, all before 5:00. I made this awesome chili pie (with local beef!) with secret hidden veggies and was very disappointed when Halsey refused to eat any of it. Seriously, that kid can sniff out a veggie from a mile away. I am having to really work hard to get in the good stuff for him; I hate thinking that he's only eating junk. Do you think I could sneak pureed spinach into a milkshake?

So tomorrow's dinner will either be leftovers or chicken nachos-- I'm not sure which. Nicole and I are making blueberry breakfast bars in the morning and I may get started on a crafty project I've been working on in my head. I've got tons of old milkcaps from our milk delivery service and some magnets. I want to make family magnets for Ethan, with pictures of his aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents out in Kansas, and I should have enough to do our family here, too. I need to pick up some resin from the craft store, but I'll take pictures to show you all. If you have any hints or suggestions, let me know!
