So much for the sweet rat. Three days after I brought him home he bit me. Since I hadn't had him long, I worried about the possibility of rabies, so I took him to be euthanized so that the health dept could pick up the body and send him off to be tested. I havfe since heard back from them, he didn't have rabies . . . *huge sigh of relief*.

Gas prices went sky high yesterday, so I skipped taking Libby to 4K this morning and the girls won't make it to playgroup either.

My sinuses have been driving me mad lately, but they seem to have settled down after I finally took something for it.

I got my haircut on Tuesday, it feels so much better at the tips. I go way too long between haircuts, so that by the time I get around to it, the ends feel like horsehair.

Went thrift shopping with my mom yesterday. Picked up a tall/skinny chest of drawers and a sewing table to organize my bedroom with, along with gender neutral baby clothes and some things for the girls. And of course I got some maternity clothes, you can never have too many of those.

I want to rearrange the bedroom furniture and get rid of one of the bookshelves, mainly organizing to make room for when the baby gets here. I figure he/she will stay in our room in the cradle for the first six months or so unless the perfect house drops into our lap. Everyone thinks we're crazy for having another baby in a three bedroom house, but babies don't take up that much space, and if we end up staying here, we'll fit him/her in somewhere when the cradle is outgrown.
