Sunday Lunch

Some friends of ours are coming over for lunch this afternoon.  I've got green beans simmering on the stove (fresh and first time I've ever tried cooking them), new potatoes ready to go in the oven to roast (they are coated in olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and oregano), double sin chocolate cake cooling on the counter, and a lettuce salad ready to be placed in a salad bowl.  It has literally taken me  all morning to get these things done.  I'm not used to cooking a meal like this (and I'm not even doing the main dish ) and having a baby around.

Dade has decided that this is the morning that he doesn't want to be in his swing, vibrating chair, play gym, boppy pillow, or tummy mat.  All he wants is to be with his momma.  I finally just put him in his swing after his noon bottle and let him cry himself to sleep because I didn't have my potatoes ready to go.  It was hard letting him cry in the swing, but he finally went to sleep a few minutes ago.  He'd been awake since 7:30.

I'm also trying to do laundry amongst the cooking. And my sinus headache is back in full force and his relentless. I'm looking forward to Clint getting back from Sedalia so that I can go get in the shower before our friends get here at 1:30.  Knowing how my day as gone so far, this will be the day that Clint doesn't get back until 1:30.

Dade demands the momma!! No swings for Dade.. the leader of the human resistance will settle for nothing less than his former host. Dade now speaks though his Uncle Scott in the third person! Let it be known to the world so the nations of the world may tremble.

Ohh.. hi Cassie :) Love ya!
