So, we had a weekend. Uh...it's kind of a blur now. ;) I guess it had its ups and downs.

Saturday, I was cranky pretty much all day so it was just as well to skip the Hot Foods party. We did make a brief excursion to Target with my mom, after she had taken Ruthie away for a few hours which was VERY sorely needed. a bit of griping about Ruthie's issues ) Meanwhile Isaac has come down with this cold as well, although it seems to be fairly mild for him, knock wood.

Sinus-wise, things are still "interesting" in my head. All day, and especially when I lie down, I can feel stuff moving around in there. It's quite unpleasant and makes for not-so-restful naptime experiences. I really feel that one should not be able to hear one's sinuses.

In other news, I filled in a bit more of the info on my online tax return and it bumped my refund up to about $2330 (federal) and about $85 state. I think the state will increase a bit more when I get to the part where you say how much you spent on heating oil. So, that's pretty exciting; that'll be a nice chunk of change. I'm still waiting on the official statement from our old daycare before I can file. I just put in estimated numbers based on going through my online banking and adding up all the checks that I wrote to them.

In other financial news, due to overuse of my Amazon credit card, I've earned enough points for a $25 Amazon gift certificate. I am trying to convince myself that I can spend it on frivolous stuff for me (e.g. the latest Lois Bujold novel) and not have to feel guilty about it. So far no luck with that. Jewish Guilt 1, Sense of Entitlement 0.

Actual baby clothing slogans that I have seen:

"Does this diaper make my butt look big?"

"NO means Ask Grandma."

"Hot to Trot"

You won't catch any of those on MY child any time soon, believe me. Okay, #2 is just obnoxious, I guess, but #1 and #3 are downright offensive. IMO.

On the other hand (or foot), you will catch these adorable socks on Ruthie quite frequently. (It says "boy" but apparently that just refers to the colors -- the "girl" set has different colors.) We got them as hand-me-downs from a kind internet pal. They are so cute, and they always get comments when we're out and about with them on -- the stars are a real eye-catcher apparently. They're starting to get a bit tight on Ruthie's ankles, but I can't bear to give them up yet.
