Did not have my head on straight today. But the day got progressively better. I consider it to be a win if I'm having a crummy day but don't yell at the kids.

And I had a nice walk this afternoon with M.

I managed to get dinner in the crockpot early. It was potentially a good idea, but kind of didn't work out. I needed to use up a lot of random veggie bits, so chopped them up and threw them in the crockpot with some curry. Well, really too much curry. Yes, there can be too much curry. That was the problem.

Happy Birthday to my mom!

Having a hard time revving the inner engine today. But I did make three pumpkin pies starting with El Pumpkin. And some laundry. And some phone calls.

Felt kind of blah, but redeemed hte afternoon with a little coffee/chocolate milk run before dinner.

And that's about it. The news

Hubby and I went to see the Sherlock Holmes movie this evening. I am a huge Holmes fan. I read the complete works in high school, and I don't mind rereading a story now and then. Lately I've been reading some on the Kindle app for the iPhone while I sit in the dark comforting my teething baby.

You can watch the documentary, The Business of Being Born, free-streaming online: here.

I've already written about it. But I thought I'd put in an extra plug. Upon rewatching it, I'd highly recommend it to women are pregnant for their first time (or any time!) or wanting to become pregnant, because it really goes into the choices you have and gives clear information that your doctor might not be as forthwith about (like about Pitocin and stuff).

I went to my friend's annual Oscar party last night after church. This year I had seen all of one nomination...Ratatouille. haha. Yea, so our life is currently a little Pixar heavy. I usually watch the Oscars to see what came out last year. This year, I actually didn't want to see too many of them. I do want to see Juno and La Vie en Rose and that other French one Becki recommended to me.

This afternoon Chris and I went to see a showing of the documentary I mentioned a little while ago, The Business of Being Born. It actually was a little better than I thought it would be. I knew it would be polemical and emotional, and it was those things--how could it not be? childbirth is a powerful, emotional experience. It was also informative, balanced, and moving.
