Things that have taken place this week which I wish didn't take place.

• It's raining and cold.  The dreary season has appeared and will not be making an exit any time soon. 
• Bored.  With the weather being so crappy and the mom's group I (very recently) joined not having many play dates for Austin's age we've been practically housebound.  
• Austin has been taking 3 hour naps in the morning which isn't really a problem, but I find that I procrastinate still don't get any housework done due to watching TV (which, I don't really watch TV so you know something is wrong!). I think back to when Austin did not nap at all in the beginning and it's hard to believe that he takes two solid naps a day now.
  
• Poor MF (Mommy Friend) had to put her cat down today.  So sad.  Poor kitty.
• Our washer broke.  And it's not fun when you have an almost 9 month old learning to eat finger foods and drink out of a sippy cup (although, that's only water) and mash his peas into his shirt and pants for fun.  Not to mention the dirty cloth diapers.  Bah.
• Swine flu (a-hem) H1N1 hit our street so it makes me wonder what Halloween will be like this year.  I wonder how many kids will be wearing Hazmat suits as their costume.  It was sad to not see all the kids out playing in the street for the past couple of weeks.
  
• I noticed that one foot is like 1/8th of a size bigger than the other.  I'm pretty sure this is due to the pregnancy.  Seriously.
