Short and sweet, hopefully

This week has gone a bit slower than I would have liked. I think it is because my mom and my oldest sister, Jennifer, are coming to visit tomorrow and they volunteered to babysit so Dave and I can go out on a date! I have been craving some good Chinese food so we are going to go to P.F. Chang's. I am also excited that my mom and my sister are going to be here. I have been busy trying to clean our apartment this week. I divided up the work so that I did not become overwhelmed with everything. I don't usually clean the whole apartment just because my mom is visiting, but it really needed a good cleaning. I even went outside, barefooted, in the freezing rain to sweep the front and back porches. Today I did the last of the cleaning in the guest bathroom. It feels good to have a clean apartment. Hopefully it will last a couple of days.
Emily and Dave are finally feeling a lot better and now I think I am getting sick again. I went to bed last night with a really sore throat and when I woke up, it was worse. I don't feel sick anywhere else, so hopefully it will go away.
Dave and I are really excited about seeing the Harry Potter movie that finally came out on DVD but I have not read the fourth and fifth books yet so Dave has agreed to hold on renting it until I finish. I haven't really had any time to read though. I started reading the series during the summer when I was pregnant but I got burned out after the third book. I tried to start the fourth one but it is considerably thicker than the first three and I need a break. It is really hard to find time to do anything with two kids needing my full attention. My goal is to have the next two books ready by next weekend so we can rent the movie.
I found out my friend Amy is having a boy! Congrats Amy!
