01/18/2005 Archived Entry: "home sweet home"

Yesterday was one of those days where we left the house in the morning and then didn't return until dinner. Chris ran into work for a couple hours in the morning to finish up an inventory project, but he was home by 10:30. The three of us then headed out to meet my mil, who had the day off due to MLK Day, and she and I went to Target to birthday shop for Tabitha. Tabitha and Chris killed time in the electronics store and the pet store. Afterwards we had a nice lunch at Red Robin and then went with my mil to Sam's Club. We got some playmats to put on the floor of the playroom after the carpet gets taken up (you know, that project we've been planning for two years now). Once errands were done, my mil offered to keep Tabitha while Chris and I went to my doctor's appt. Tabitha was all for that idea because the novelty of going to my appts. has definitely worn off and nothing beats a day with a grandparent, lol. The appt. itself was standard; weigh me, measure me, hear the heartbeat, ask if I have questions and send me on my way for another week. We were back in the car half an hour after we stepped out of it. After my appt. we sat in loads of traffic to go pick up Tabitha before finally going home again.
I scrapbooked some after dinner last night while Tabitha sat at her craft table and made a book. I'm liking my new plan of scrapping at night, because I never seem to make time for it during the day and if I scrap at night, either Tabitha and Chris spend one-on-one time together or she's with me and he gets some relaxing alone time to play games. Of course, once baby's here, he'll be occupied otherwise :)
I can't share any of my new layouts though. Turns out my scanner is so old, it's not compatible with new computers. I've been wanting a new one for quite a while, but could never really justify it since it worked just fine. Guess I have justification now. Not that I plan on buying one anytime soon, it's just something I'll look at next time we're at the computer store. I don't need an expensive one because I just have basic scanner needs.
