Yesterday was Arden's last dance class. Meagan is another mother there. We always chat. She's got three girls--6,4, and 18 months. She has occasionally mentioned a playgroup at a local church on Fridays, but hasn't seemed overtly religious. She is frequently speaking about how she has "a bunch of girlfriends" and their kids over in Thursday nights for dinner and playing. I enjoy her company, so I mentioned that I'd like to be invited to the next one. She seemed so excited--almost surprised that I wanted to come? I'm not sure why. At dinner last night it occurrd to me that it might be a Bible study or something--and I missed her mentioning it? Not sure what to do. I really do like her. She seems cool. She's from Wisconsin. But, man, not sure what I will do if they bust out some prayer or Bibles! For the life of me, I can't figure out how to establish what this weekly tradition is about-without, say, asking directly.

I have seen many babies in pocket diapers around here. Today, though, I spotted a wool butt in a Becko. I was changing India's diaper in the restroom. I watched the other mom catch a glimpse of India's wool cover, then her pins... She pretended not to stare. She went into a stall-- then came out and grinned at Arden wetting a pretty cloth wipe for me. Then she came over and asked about India's cover. We talked about fabrics and wool and pockets. Half an hour later I ran into her again--her friend's kid was in wool pants, too. We talked about knitting and recycling sweaters for covers. It was momentary, but they totally thought I was cool enough! I'm a dork, I know. But it was good! Posted via LiveJournal.app. Tags: via ljapp

Arden is getting to a point of being confused about what God means to other people. She made a God's Eye at the Daisy thing last week. A week or so ago she said, "some people think Jesus was real..." So I explained that I beleive Jesus did exist, and was a good guy, but that since I do not believe in a higher power, I don't believe that he was the Son Of God. It must be very confusing for her. I think we might try going to the UU church next week to see of the one here is open to athiests ( some of the many websites I read said some are). I'm not sure how we feel about the whole thing, but hope that if our children can get clear ideas of many religions, it will make it easier to see that many people seek comfort a solice in religion, as well as being driven to be good people by the rules/laws/commandments. This can help to make the world a better place, but sometimes it has the opposite effect, too.
This is hard for me and I worry that if we don't find outside help with the ideas we might cause he girls to be unfair in their judgements of people. Posted via LiveJournal.app. Tags: via ljapp

Had a long day-- half day of school, home for lunch, attempt unsuccessfully to get India to nap, dance class, struggle again to get her nap, make dinner, feed kids, go to Daisy/ girl Scout info meeting---and walked away the new troop leader. A little shell shocked, but I think it'll be good. Off to shower. Posted via LiveJournal.app. Tags: via ljapp

The girls and I took the 5:17 train into the city to have dinner with Nate. I didn't think it through very thoroughly, meaning I forgot we would have to take the train home. We just got home at 9:30. Both the kids are still awake--but on their way to sleep. I have walked about three miles today. M'feet hurt a lot! I think I have a blister. Ouch. I just hope the kids sleep until at least 6 tomorrow, 7 would be nice, 7:30 would be great. I'm pretty sure we will all be up by five. So tired. Have weigh watchers tomorrow. I usually go to the 7 am meeting, but I might not make it, so I need to make sure there's a 8:30 meeting. My life is enthralling. Posted via LiveJournal.app. Tags: via ljapp

Arden just got her ears pierced. Pictures to come. I suggested it ( okay, a few times), but left it up to her. She said she wanted it for her birthday ( in September), but I think the monkey earrings she wants to wear talked her into it, because after thirty minutes in the mall play area, she announced she wanted to do it. She didn't cry at all. I knew she wouldn't, but told her it was okay if she needed to. She's never cried for a shot, though. She is very proud! Posted via LiveJournal.app. Tags: via ljapp

Got up, took Arden to school, got gas ($29.67!!! That never gets old!), came home, printed WW pass, ran to Jamba, went to WW (3.8 loss), left because India is the queen of rowdy, came home, cleaned out the car, played with India, cleaned Arden's room, had lunch, put India down for a nap (we've transitioned to one!), decluttered the kitchen some, got India up, finally dressed her, went to get Arden, drove through the post office, went to car wash and vacuumed the car, reinstalled the carseats, ran to dance class, spent an hour chatting it up with other moms, went out for pizza with friends, came home, put exhausted kids in bed--both asleep by 7:30!!!!, made a trip to the dumpster, watched wife swap, folded a load of laundry, washed another, did 40 mins of cardio and yoga with wii fit, put other laundry in dryer, and now I'm snuggling with Bali. Good day! I wish they were all like this! Posted via LiveJournal.app. Tags: via ljapp
