rose: otis' hair reminded me of liam gallagher's today (short and spiky on top, yet long at the sides). he is getting soooo cute, sweet and interactive. i'm really enjoying this stage. this age with eamon was much more difficult. i was more uptight about the things he put in his mouth, i was inexperienced and the end of my mat leave was looming. i remember it felt like my heart was constantly squeezed, as we inched towards my return to work. i'm so glad, and feel so free that i don't have to be separated from him. in september i'm going to be working at next 3 days at week, but those shifts are 5 hours long. and i feel much more positive about opening up his world to other caregivers. also, i'm starting to get inquiries about my before and after school service, which is really nice :)

thorn: i stopped by michael's today to buy supplies to make a gift for my niece's 6th birthday. i was short on time, but thought that 12 minutes would be enough. after looking over all the embroidery thread, deciding what colours i wanted/needed, i looked at my watch, and found that it was 11:27, and i had agreed to meet my mom at a condo she is interested in buying at 11:30. so i dashed to the cash only to find a line of 8 people. so i had to leave everything in the cart, and race off to meet my mom. the extra annoying bit is that now i still don't have the supplies i need and i'll have to go back again :S
