A Conversation
As the weather is getting nicer (finally) we decided to make good on a little promise get outdoor furniture. We found some inexpensive, but nice (and recyclable) chairs, a table and an umbrella for our backyard. Since we drive a Civic, there was a pause when we arrived at the car to load our furniture. Where was it going to fit? The trunk was the only place, but what would we tie the trunk lid down with?
"Use that dead optical mouse cord," I told Brad. We got in the car, our chairs secured in the trunk with a piece of computer equipment.
"I guess that makes us Redneck Geeks?" I asked.
"Frakkin' A!" he replied.
Bittersweet
Today is the first day of Lauren's life in which she has not nursed. At all. I'm sad and happy at the same time. She's growing up. I'm losing my little baby. At the same time, I'm getting my body back.
I am going to miss it though.
Woohooo...I know another set of redneck geeks!

Lovin' the BSG reference -- so say we all!
And yes, the last days of nursing are bittersweet, aren't they? I still get teary at the thought of it...

Are you going to celebrate Lauren being a big girl by getting wasted?

It is SUCH a bittersweet moment. I am exactly the same way. It feels like forever since you have been able to take meds without worrying or drinking without timing things. But that bond and closeness is something you only have for a short time. More special times to come though :)
