Little of this, little of that...

Hey Momma, wanna pick me up?




All tuckered out from a big day.

Sophie developed the infamous Fifth Disease Rash last night. Today it is much more pronounced. It's a bummer, I really thought we were in the clear. Very clearly, I was mistaken.

I entered a contest that I thought a few of you may be interested in. I found it through a commenter's blog (nice to meet you ellinghouse). It's for a free Rocking Baby sling from Adventures in Babywearing. Thought I would give it a shot. I always wanted to try babywearing with Sophie, and we had a baby carrier, but it was only good for so long before it made me sore, or her cranky. The other slings and such were so dang expensive that I never got one. In fact, if I don't win this one, I probably won't have one at all!

Jacob's work is having a NFL picks pool this year. They did it last year for respect, and Jacob did very well. This year it's $5/week for the entire season. I balked at first, I mean that's 10 regular season weeks PLUS post season, why not just go buy a Powerball for a buck and be done with it? But the pool got so big that the winner now gets over $700, and he did so well last year that I caved. If he wins maybe we will take a little mini-vacation next summer. I would love to use the money to buy season tickets the Colts, but we wouldn't be able to make hardly any of the games because of Jacob's work schedule.
