The Hour which I first Believe

This is the next book that I will be reading, and I am chomping at the bit to receive it.  I keep checking my mail and front door step like it's Christmas or something!  I don't want to start another book b/c I am afraid it will come and I will have to set that book aside.  So I have been forced to read the invigorating Toddler 411, Toddlerwise and What to expect the second year.  It is interesting and I do enjoy reading about what is to come with Alyson.....except for the temper tantrums.  I was at the doc's office today and there was a little girl around 2 who was screaming at her mother in the waiting room; I had to think......what would I do in that situation.  You can't do what the books tell you to do, which is get up and leave.  Some say to ignore them, but then you have the "on-lookers" like aren't you going to control your child......., not sure what I would have done.  It is one of my fears and I know it is coming, I will let you know how I do.

So what else is new......our wood floors are ALMOST done, sheesh it has taken forever.  I went to Macy's today to look at the chairs we are possibly getting, I love them - very "me".  The college leather couch of Daniel's does not quite go with them, so hopefully that thing will be out of the house sooner rather than later.  Tonight we pack and hopefully get on the road at a decent hour tomorrow.  We are staying with friends and then heading up North where Daniel's grandparents live to celebrate the 4th and his mom's bday.  Should be a good time, I will take pictures!

About an hour ago I dropped off a piece of my portfolio to be entered into a design awards competition.  I am up against a lot of good entries, but I was told I was the first to drop anything off, that counts for something right!!  I am nervous and of course would really like to win, but I'm just not sure. 
Oh well, it is good to enter and I get to go to a fancy gala no matter who wins.

Hope everyone has a happy 4th - BE SAFE~!!
