So, it has been a long, long time since I posted here. We have a whole nother baby now, that makes four! Things are crazy but fun.

I am (at the moment) loving my job and enjoying the freedom it grants me. Like today... I left at 1:15 to relieve the babysitter and stayed with RJ and AJ all afternoon. The girls came home at 1:45 (today is their early day off from school) and we all piled in the van and went to Fluffy Donuts for (what else?) donuts. Then it was home for a bit to sort out the donuts (we had snack duty at Hebrew School), grab drinks, take a bathroom break (AJ is potty trained now, hallelujah!) and rest for 10 minutes. Then everyone piled in the van again for the trip to the shul, I jettisoned the girls and the donuts and the drinks, then took RJ and AJ to Noah's to get bagels and check on my challah order. It's a good thing I did, too, because they hadn't put me back on the schedule yet. At least they had all the good kinds of bagels still left, so we got three good grains, three wheat sesame, a couple of poppy, three chocolate chip, a cinnamon sugar and a plain wheat (I think). AJ was thrilled with the chocolate chip idea, but since he'd just had a donut with sprinkles... well, there was no way! How much rocket fuel does one kid need? Then we went home, because both AJ and RJ were feeling a bit sleepy. We decided on Aladdin (the Disney version), and sat down to watch for a bit. It was so great just sitting there with my two little ones, taking care of my kids. Myself. You can't beat it.
