Has it been 3 weeks already?  Tell you what…that first night we brought Lily home, I thought we’d never make it this far.

Duckie and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on May 16.  It was really low key.  We had pizza from Pizza Hut and then went out to get some ice cream at Cold Stone.  I got a temporary wedding band (picked it out myself and everything) because my wedding/engagement set still doesn’t fit.  I hope the swelling in my hands and feet goes down eventually.  Anyway, I got Duckie a collection of Poe stories with some illustrations that he really likes.  We actually already have all of Poe’s stories, but Duckie really wanted the illustrations, so now we have two.  Or, we will.  Stupid thing isn’t here yet.

I’m going back to work on June 25 and I still haven’t found daycare for Lily.  It’s not that I haven’t been trying, but everything that’s in our price range is run by idiots.  I’m sorry, but if you can’t form a complete sentence and use capitalization and basic punctuation, but can pepper your emails with "umms," I’m not interested in having you care for my child.  I’m not expecting every home daycare provider to be a retired teacher, but if you’re running a business (especially one where you might have some bearing on what/how a child learns), you might want to present yourself a little more professionally.

Crap, maybe I should quit my job and charge people $275 a week for daycare even though my only real experience is owning some dogs.  I might consider it … if I liked kids.  But, I don’t, so that’s not happening.

Anyhow!  We took Lily to church yesterday in a super cute dress.  She was a HUGE hit with the ladies sitting near us – especially the old ones.

Here is said cute dress (and the baby in it):
