Damn. I bet you wished you could come here and read some interesting post about what I did today. Sorry. You'll be dissapointed.

There was nothing special today... just the usual... overslept this morning with the girls - barely got SB to school on time and had that awful feeling that I might have to walk her in to school in my PJ's.... rushed back home to try and enjoy my few hours of solitude before going out to work... picked up the girls - Jordin in the "drive through lane," as she calls carpool - and Sarah Beth from the sidewalk of her school.... came home and piled up on the sofa with both - popcorn and a movie - SB made me promise to stay awake - argued with Jordin about the dynamics of doing cartwheels in the house - made SB put on tennis shoes before going outside (God, do you know how MEAN I am?) - let Jordin "fix" my hair - and then brushed out all the knots she "braided" out - told Jordin how to spell a million words.... took them out to dinner at Atlanta Bread Company with mom - SB orders something we know she'll never eat and glides around the room speaking to everyone she knows - buy mom and I a coffee and chat with neighbors - try to not snicker when SB tells me that we have taken her out to a "nice" restaurant for dinner... I mean, it's much nicer than Stevie B's after all, right?
The night goes sour as I insist SB do homework and, shocker - actually bathe herself. Listen to her tell me how much I dislike her - how I love Jordin more than her - how I must not want her - all because of a bath..... yeah.
Put girls to bed - rub Jordin's back - but apparently not like daddy does it so she "lets" me stop... read email, read book, download music for Jordin from iTunes ...... find a list of nineties music, reminisce, miss everyone a lot... download it all... then realize maybe I am getting old. You think?
