another week

Some highlights for this week:

• SuperTarget scooter experience: Rachel and I just had to get out of the house and do our own shopping! Did you know that those motorized carts make a LOUD reverse beep that draws everyone's attention from all angles in the store? And, their shopping capacity is limiting...but a fun experience. Stores need to shelve items lower!

• The start of some SERIOUS nervous system woes: Like...walking down the stairs and worrying that at any moment I'm going to have a shooting pain down my groin and fall down them. Or, walking the kids to the bus, and then walking down the hill and almost falling down after a sharp psiatic nerve pain. (Think arch/toe cramp but in your groin or buttock.)

• Dr. appointment disappointment: I am still only dilated to a 1. Proof again that my body has not figured out how to get the baby out on its own. It's just depressing.

• Induction scheduled with the hospital: we are to arrive at the hospital on Monday, October 16th at 7:15 am to start on pitocin. Wish there was another way...

• New discovery: the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Mop. I can actually see some white in our linoleum in the kitchen after one mopping! It's been impossible before to tell when/if I'd ever mopped. Now it looks slightly clean! I'm hoping each time I mop it will look brighter.
