Not A Bad Balance

Good:

• I just found several bars of white baking chocolate in my cupboard. 
  
• Marta no longer nurses during the daytime, nor at bedtime.
  
• To her extreme delight, Marta and I listened to the song "Hot Potato" and only "Hot Potato" during our entire ride to K-Mart and the entire ride home from K-Mart. She cracked up.
  
• Though embedded in the warmth of the wood on our deck and therefore not entirely accurate, our thermometer reads 70 degrees. I'm going with it.
  
• Yesterday, we spent the afternoon at the park and Berit could not stop thanking me for it.
  
• We enrolled Berit in 3-day preschool for the fall. 
  
• I stand to make a million zillion dollars at the upcoming Moms To Moms Sale, based on the status of our basement clean-out project.
  
• I had Subway for lunch. I miss Subway.
  
• We're taking the girls to Traverse City this Saturday, to play in the huge park, ride the carousel, and buy Marta a new crib. Also, to stock up on magically delicious Target wines.
  

Thought-Provoking:

• Never in my life have I been stuck behind a funeral procession, and I've been behind two in the past two days. If a third happens tomorrow, should I take it as a sign? Of what?
  
• Berit's class pet, Rosebud the guinea pig, needs a home. I'm tempted, yet something tells me it'd be ridiculous. (As in, "It's a guinea pig. That's ridiculous.")
  

Bad:

• Marta is still waking up through the night, and Trevor leaves next week for turkey camp.
  
• I just found several bars of white baking chocolate in my cupboard.
