T. B. T. N. S.

Lukin got sick from Mommy. Well, I think he got my cold. But I also think that he is teething. Therefore, he has the nickname (that Amanda gave him when she was down here babysitting): The Baby That Never Sleeps.

He was over at Dan and Carin's for the afternoon while Sonny and I went shopping for a new rocking chair. (The one we have was my Grandpa Norbert's and I can't remember how long he had it before I got it, but I have had it for at least 5 years, so it's quite a few years old. My best guesstimate is he got it in 1990.) Anyway, we finally settled on a nice La-Z-Boy that we can pick up on Tuesday. I guess La-Z-Boys can be broken down and transported, even in Sonny's Focus.

The chair cost a pretty penny but I was trying to comfort Sonny's buyer's remorse by tellling him that: a) it will be a good chair and we can keep it until Lukin moves to college and then we can send the chair with him, and b) it was our anniversary gift to each other, and it was over two months late, so we deserved it. I don't know if it helped him at all, but nonetheless, it will nice to have a new chair.

So last night, I was trying to unpack some more of the boxes downstairs, and I actually did unpack one. So I brought two more up and I was going through them a little while ago and some of the stuff is from high school and it all makes me smile so I don't want to part with any of it. I know I have to, and none of it really holds any relevance, but I want to keep the stuff just to make me smile when I need a smile.

I think I got off-topic with the whole T.B.T.N.S thing. Since he is not feeling well, he wouldn't go to sleep over there. We came back around 7 pm and decided to play a game of marbles. We played one and then went to get Dairy Queen while Grandma rocked Lukin to sleep. When we got back, he was asleep, and we ate our ice cream and played marbles until he woke up. Then he cried and cried and cried. He cried until we brought him home. He drank two ounces of milk and then snuggled in with me and fell asleep. I just hope he sleeps through the night because I am exhausted tonight. I will try to elaborate on why in another entry. I gotta go. I need a nap...and since it's nearly midnight, it if lasts til morning, that's fine with me.
