Weekend Highlights
- Saw the twins, always good. Sammi has had no more seizures, here's hoping last week's drama was just an anomaly, something we'll tell her about when she's older, a funny story she'll tell her boyfriends (or whoever, statistically, it's safer to assume she'll have boyfriends) when they are first getting to know each other. "Oh yeah, when I was a baby, I had this one big seizure and had to be in the hospital overnight. Never happened again, though."
Hung with the girls as Susan left for work. The heart-breaking scene above happened as she left, they were watching her go out the door. They did perk up afterwards, even if Riley ran out of gas while playing with her toy just a while later:

Got to feed Riley (the not-so-challenging eater) some cereal and fruit
Happy, easy-to-feed baby.
Skeptical, only-wants-Mommy-or-Daddy-to-feed-her baby. Good thing I know it's not personal. - The Women's league annual meeting was sparsely attended. That's due to the super-late announcement of the date, I think, rather than an overall lack of interest. I received a backhanded commendation for not quitting after running league-wide evaluations and Andrea won the big raffle prize -- a half season credit. Woo!
- Stopped by Heather's all-day birthday extravaganza to wish her well and play a card game I didn't fully understand. Happy 30th, yo!
- CocoNUTS kicked ass, winning 3-1. One of those 3 was mine, woo!
- Sunday brought losses for both the red team I coach and the green team I goalie for.
- My maroon team chalked up another tie. We'll take it. I think the Dogfish have finally hit our stride. Woo! Dogfish! Woo! Playing Viv's team without their loud coach there was a totally different experience, it was like playing every other team in our mostly-friendly league. You know, fun. Though I guess not for Viv. Boo.
Went out for dinner after the game with Viv, Liz G the goalie, Andrea and Ellaine. That part of the evening was fun for all, even that kid faux-practicing his goalie swing behind Viv.
On the menu was Griant Squid. You think I'm kidding, but I have proof:
- Practiced listening to unsolicited opinions from child-free people and was Very Well Behaved. It's better to practice this now rather than being nasty to people when we're actually in the emotional throes of trying/being pregnant. I've also realized that many many things about the impending attempts at parenthood are extremely emotional, much more so than I ever would have expected.
I'm hoping that as we get closer and I become more familiar with the things I need to pay attention to, as we resolve more of the decisions that must be made that the emotional component will settle down. But right now, sheesh. I may as well be pregnant already, this stuff makes me so damn emotional. For now we're working through the emotions like any adult couple would -- by having pinch and slap fights.

ahem, that's "griant scallops", not "griant squid", although i'm sure they'd have griant squid too.
