What a day, it went by fast of course. Got a nap in, so that's always good. Even though Garfield had to wake me up an hour into it, ugh. The king of the castle, sleeps all day, but when you are sleeping, he has to wake you up. He's back to his 4am wake up trend, I'd like to kick his little furry butt!

Jon stood alone a few times, and actually made 2 steps. Very wobbly, lunging forward steps, but they count. He was going from the couch to his push toy. So maybe by the time he's 13 months he'll be walking?????? He sure moves fast along the furniture, he grabs onto whatever he can to balance himself and move along.

I need more patience, I wish I didn't snap so quickly. They are good kids, but they sure drive me nuts. I think I need to go to the doctor and have Jessica's ears checked. She sure doesn't listen to me. Lately, she thinks she's the boss, and can come and go as she pleases, and do whatever she wants. If I hear "No thank you" one more time, ugh. I'm glad she's being polite, but I'm not asking her to do it, I'm telling her to. This is her answer to... eat your food, clean up your toys, come here, etc. And she's constantly picking on Jon and gets so jealous if we pay extra attention to him. If we are practicing walking with him, she gets jealous. She wants us to practice with her, hello, you know how to walk already. It's crazy how sometimes she acts like a baby just like him, when I know she is capable of so much more. Oh well, that's life with siblings. I don't care who I've talked to, every kid gets jealous of their siblings from time to time, it's inevitable.

It's funny though the past two evenings, she goes inside and grabs us all something to drink and passes them out to all of us. Of course, we didn't ask her to do it, we aren't even thirsty, but she feels she's thirsty, so we all should have a drink, ahhaha. And it's another excuse to go in and out of the house, and in and out of the fridge, 500 times.

Jeff's Dad's going to come over Saturday and look at our washing machine. It must have a broken seal or something. It works, but there is obviously water on the bottom of the drum, just sitting there, stinking. We've noticed it for the past month or so. You open the lid and it stinks. Today I jiggled the agitator and I heard water. He thinks it's an easy fix, I hope so.

I just saved a bundle at Shutterfly. Too bad it still has to go on the credit card, but at least I got 3 different discounts, 4 cents off each pic, 30% off each pic, and the 15 dollar shipping was FREE. So that was cool. The shipping discount wasn't showing up, and they now have a live chat and the lady helped me right away and fixed the problem.

Jeff went back to the clinic today, and they said come back tomorrow also, so they can keep an eye on it, and change the bandages. The doctor really doesn't want him to work, but now of all times, they are finally on overtime, so he'd hate to miss it. Especially with him missing 3 days of work at the end of the month. He just is extra careful not to hit his finger.

His mom's reaction... why isn't he more careful? Like he did this on purpose. And she said, he seems to have an accident every 4 years. Ok, yes, 4 years ago, a steel chip went through his eye, and he had to have immediate surgery, and was off work for almost a year. I don't think it's a 4 year trend, until it happens the third time..... And when he talked to them today, they had the story all wrong. I emailed them exactly what he told me to email them (I'm his secretary right) and they twisted it all up. I'm sure they passed the info onto his sisters, and they probably think his whole hand is cut off, ahhaha.
