It was so nice having Cory home for the majority of the day. Yesterday we saw him for just a few minutes after I dropped Accalia off at tap and he was getting ready to deliver pizzas. Then we talked for about an hour after he came home before going to bed. This morning Cory had one counseling session, and the timing was such that I took all three kids with me while I set up for the LLL meeting. Then Cory came to us and took Accalia and Cole back home with him.

The meeting went fairly well. There were three other moms there, and between the four of us there were seven children. We had a great discussion except for at one point one of the mothers made a comment of a somewhat political nature that made me cringe. The discussion had gone off topic anyway, so I quickly redirected our conversation. I just really hope no one was offended; well, other than me. One of the mothers became a member today, too, so that takes me up to three members in our Yankton group. Yay!

Our afternoon seemed to go by fairly quickly, but it was also pretty quiet. Ella didn't fall asleep for a nap until around 3 p.m., and then she slept for nearly two hours. Accalia and Cole played with one of the neighbor girls for a little bit, and Cory even napped for a while on the couch.

I finally finished the book I've been reading for a couple months - Love in the Time of Cholera (yes, another Oprah Book Club pick). It obviously took me a while to get into it since it's not a terribly lengthy book - 348 pages - and I enjoyed it for the most part. It's supposed to be a love story that spans more than 50 years, but most of the time I just felt like I was reading about one man's obsession with the woman he couldn't have. I did like the ending, though.

Cory will hopefully be home a little after 10 p.m. from delivering pizzas. Tomorow we'll need to do some grocery shopping, and we're getting Ella's picture taken. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll let me fix her hair a little. Her hair is plentiful and rather out of control. Cory will work for a few hours delivering pizzas, but hopefully he won't be there too late.
