6 days to go...

no not until my baby, until sweet Chris comes home. ONly one day gone, absence really does make the heart grow fonder. The kids were pretty well behaved and dinners will be easier as tonight we had easy quesidillas. I went to drop Emma off at ballet, this was her first week but classes started the beginning of Sep, so she was nervous to walk into the class with big fifth and sixth graders. She is already on the smaller side, but compared to those girls she looks pretty teeny. I was happy she moved up a level (Ireally have no clue about ballet) and she feels happy to be in there with the big girls. Anna enjoyed tap, but had a small meltdown on the way home b/c she doesn't know all the steps they were doing...I am sure she will do fine. We are just finishing cleaning the playroom and going through the books to purge stuff. I don't think the kids can complain b/c I am even letting them stay up late!!!
My SIL Angela who is due the 23rd (now the day before me) lucky lady gets to have her baby early...I do not know how to do little hiss cat sounds for the computer or that is what you might be hearing as I have issues with ALL people who have early babies especially those who are so not nice about it. Not you Angela, you deserve it as I know you are ready and excited and it is your very first baby.
I have only gone really late with the last two

Anna was only 2 days, and 13 hrs labor 8lbs 8 0z
Emma (okay I was induced 2 weeks early so I cannot really complain) and 7 hr labor 6lbs 14oz
Jakob 6 days, and 2 1/2 hours labor 7lbs 11 0z
Sam 9 days late, and 1 1/2 hr labor 8lbs 10oz
Nollie 9 days late, and I think he was about a 3 hr labor 8lbs 12oz

I really do not want this baby to be born on Halloween or the 30th b/c that is trick or treating night here in Hershey and it is fabulous!!! I like halloween a lot just not for a birthday
Emma is having a Halloween Birthday party this year on the 17th (yes her bday was over a month ago however the excuse this year is that she needed to get some friends to invite and having her bday right when school starts, you get it.
I am now thinking this is like my new journal and I could go on and on about nothing nonsense but for now without Chris home to wake me up in the morning we all best get some shuteye.
Good Luck on your interview tomorrow Chris.
