Today has been a really good day, although I didn't expect it to considering the way I woke up. First, I woke up with a bad headache. Now how does that happen? So I wake up with this headache and squeezed in between Accalia and Cole. Cole was in a really restless sleep, and Accalia was apparently having a bad dream because she was crying in her sleep. At least the day improved from there.

It wasn't that we did anything extraordinary. It was just one of those days where we all get along really well and are just happy together. Accalia played with a bunch of her stuffed animals, dolls and assorted people much of the afternoon. She was arranging them in all sorts of containers so they could go places. Whenever I ask her where they're going, she always says "Burger King." I don't particularly like Burger King, so I'm not sure why that's such a happening destination.

Then, while I was making chicken noodle soup for supper, Accalia was busy wrapping some of her toys up using scraps of wrapping paper and bows. After she wrapped up three toys, she opened them and was quite excited to discover her gifts :)

I've been trying to work on my ACLA orientation when I can. I'm working on the prototype application, so that requires a bit of thought in responding to the messages I'm receiving from the "leader applicant" I'm corresponding with. The kids haven't been giving me a great deal of thinking time lately, so it's slow going.

Oh, perhaps the bright spot of the day was receivin the premiere issue of Pandora's Box Magazine! I've just started reading it, but already I'm thinking I'll be looking forward to it as much as I do Mothering Magazine This issue is full of stories about unassisted births, un/homeschooling, nursing, vegan/vegetarian cookings and lots more. And to top it all off, it's a really attractive magazine. The design is really clean, and the only ads are in back of the magazine, so those don't clutter your view while you're digging into the stories.

Well, I think I'm going to try to accomplish a few things while Cory bathes Cole.
