Playdates and Guppies

Well, this morning is a playdate with one of Gareth's best friends (Max), which is a relief to me. I LOVE having two kids in the house...them playing together, not bothering me, not nagging for attention...almost as much as I love being able to send the second child home LOL. Kinda like having grandkids, I guess, except you don't have to buy so many presents ;P

The bonus with Max is his mom, who is just the coolest chica ever. Erin and I are so in sync most of the time...I've been completely comfortable with her since the first day we went out together. She's the kind of person I absolutely crave being with - I feel so good in my own skin with I am with her. And today when she picks up Max she's bringing lunch and we get to hang :)

The big excitement in our house right now is the baby guppies (although I suspect that I am far more excited about them than everyone else LOL). They are 5 days old now, and growing so fast you can almost watch it happening. Of course, I am now having visions of guppies guppies guppies...tanks full of guppies...everywhere in the house! I wish that my tanks were easier for me to take care of, or that I felt like I had the time to keep them up. I have found a couple of gorgeous tanks that I would love to add to my collection, but husband (quite rightly) points out that my current fish are horribly neglected as it is...*sigh*

I am so looking forward to this weekend...3 days of poppa time and hopefully I will get to snag some time for myself. I always think that I must sound like the worst mother in the world, but the less time I spend with the kid the more I like him. Too much time with him siphoning my soul just makes me nuts.
