Hung out with C, S, T and J. Had my jungle colada and potato skins. I’m really tempted to go back to drinking martinis but I always feel the martinis more than the colada so I feel guiltier about drinking martinis while nursing. I never really feel the coladas which is funny because J was buzzing with the colada and I was surprised. They seem so weak. Maybe she doesn’t drink as often as I do.

We talked about fertility – 3 of them are trying. It’s not as easy the second time around but they still got time. Talked about in-laws. S’s were in town for the last couple of weeks and I guess it wasn’t going so well. We chatted about potty training. Not looking forward to that whole thing again. And C was thinking of having a sewing lesson MNO. I’m all over it. I’m going to get a cheap but good sewing machine. She said I needed a machine that could do a ‘blind hem stitch” (?) I just think that C’s pants are in constant need of hemming (and sometimes Dh’s) so I might as well learn how to do it. I may try to do a pillow, curtain or other simple stuff too along the way. I doubt I will ever do clothing but I won’t outrule it. I’ll see how handy I am with a sewing machine.

J let Halima play in the car with her car keys.  You see what’s coming right?  Yup.  Her 2 yo locked in the car.  It reminded me of when my nephew also got locked in the car.  Harrowing experience.  Made me think I should have a talk with the kids about what to do in certain situations.  C recommended some dvd’s:  Little Hardhats. That way they won’t get scared if they see firemen in their weird gear.  They will know to run towards the firemen in case of a fire instead of away.  I probably won’t have a problem with firemen but maybe some other types of workers like ambulance workers.  It’s worth looking into.
