*happy dance*

Life is going well for me. elf_baby had a doctor's appointment yesterday. She had been doing this thing where she kinda has all over body shivers sometimes when I'm feeding her. The ped said it is not seizures or anything like that. She also said that they should be getting fewer. The ped heard a heart murmur yesterday so I have to go to Tricare and get her an appointment to go see the cardiologist to get her heart checked.

I made soup today. It's black bean vegetarian soup. It smells fantastic. elf_baby took a fabulous nap and is now playing in the packnplay. That, my friends, is success. So maybe this whole having a bit of a schedule thing is not a bad idea. Well-rested baby is happy baby.

The giant pile of dirty laundry has now become the giant pile of clean laundry needing folding. I'm working on it. But that is quite a bit of improvement. Sometime soon I need to clean out my fridge and finish cleaning my kitchen. I did two loads of dishes yesterday to catch up. Now I have one more load today.

Oh yeah. Obama won *smiles happily*. Now it's time to put aside our differences and do the best we can. It makes me want to try again. I'm proud of being an American again. It's been a long time. It's hard to explain how devasted I've been by the last eight years. It makes me want to work hard and do everything I can. Here's to the future.
