I woke up early this morning for it being Saturday. I've always had a hard time sleeping in but now that I usually try to get up before Maddie to have "time before I'm needed" time, I always seem to wake up before 6am. So, I decided to write.
It would be nice to have some coffee and a bagel with cream cheese. The coffee I have but although the thought is nice the actual making and then drinking doesn't appeal to me. I also have bagels. METRO sells bags of frozen, plain bagels. I bought a bag last week. They're shaped like bagels but I don't think they really are. I'm not sure what the requirements are for bagels but these are too airy to be real. It doesn't help that they are absolutely nothing like My Favorite Muffin's. Which of course, is what I'm craving.
The cream cheese is also at METRO and it's Philadelphia Cream Cheese which we all know would be good but it's WAY to expensive to justify spreading on a fake bagel.
Yesterday Phil and I went to the brand spankin new Wal-mart in town. Would we ever make a point to go to a new Wal-mart in the States? No. But here it's different. It just is. I'm not going to try to explain. We found Doritos. And some good brown bread. We also bought a little rotissierre chicken. This country now has 90 Wal-marts. I can't imagine us visiting this one much. It's nothing that great but they do have Doritos.
A week from today is Madeleine's birthday. She'll be 2. It seems like we've known her a lot longer than 2 years. Next Saturday is also the last soccer game of the season for our local team. I had thought about having a "tail gate" party/ birthday bash but it's too much work. I'd want to borrow the office's grill, roast hot dogs, have other food, a cake, all the plasticware, get permission to have it down in the courtyard, set-up, clean-up, plus I might feel like puking that whole day. So, it's not going to happen. A pretty big group of students and a couple teachers are going to the last game. Hopefully, we can find a sitter for Maddie so we can both go.
For Maddie's bday we'll just invite a few of her friends (and their parents) either here to the house or we may go to an indoor playground that she and all her little friends love. We'll have a cake but I don't think we'll do lunch for everyone.
This last week I think I felt good more than I did sick. I had one really bad day but other than that I felt pretty well. Next Friday I have my 1st Dr's appointment. I'll have an ultrasound done. For peace of mind and to see how many babies we're having.
