"Bless her kind heart, sweet darlin'." -Grandma Morgan

This girl got a boo-boo at school today. Apparently she was in a hurry to get to a tricycle and tripped and hit her mouth on the handlebars. She's a trooper and says it doesn't hurt, but we can't kiss it because it's "puffy". Luckily it appears that her teeth are fine. I always worry like crazy about teeth. She said she can still suck her paci - "just on the side more".

On a paci note, someone at school told her about a paci-fairy that comes during the night and takes all of your pacis, but leaves a toy. She's considering this idea. Man, she sure does love them. I think she thinks maybe after a night or two she can get them back.

R is still loving the "warm fuzzy" jar. No one can escape the dinner table without commenting. Tonight she had 2 fuzzies out before we even started the meal.

Speaking of meals, we took advantage of living on the coast and had a seafood dinner. R and I went to the seafood market to choose our protein for tonight. She commented that she LOVED fish - and shrimp - and oysters - and crablegs - pretty much everything in the case. We ended up with filets of grouper that were thin and perfect for frying, huge shrimp to make Barbequed shrimp (with butter, lemon juice + rind, worchestershire sauce), a pint of shucked oysters (that we baked on deviled egg plate - thanks C!) and organic yellow grits. It was all so very, very yummy. We had Pop + DaJu over before family group. I put some sharp cheddar in the grits and M loved them. Who knew! Cooper had Cliff and then stayed for the girls' soccer game. Pop picked him up for us. He was frozen. He was so hot after baseball that he kept on his shorts. It's like 40 degrees out. Silly boy!

We're all prepping for finals next week. No fun. I was able to brush up on my weather and metric information tonight. Maybe I can do molecular and empirical formulas with Cooper tomorrow. It's just what the momma looks forward to at the end of the day.

I finally went back to tennis. The courts have been frozen. Had a lot of fun playing and seeing everyone. Picked poor A's brain at lunch. So funny. I love a girl that can be honest and tell it like it is, while still being respectful of her husband. She's livin' the dream! For some strange reason I thought it would be a good idea to go to bootcamp at the gym in town at 4:30. I hope all of this exercise in one day doesn't kill me. I was nice to move around a bit, but maybe should've spaced it out a bit.

Peace and a sore back
