Hate: As someone pointed out, I'm going to need to change my header should I be so lucky to have a baby in the not too distant future. I guess I need to start wrapping my mind around that idea.
Love: The boys will no longer participate in Early Intervention when they turn three. In fact, their physical therapist's last day with them is tomorrow. Their occupational therapist will see them for the last time on the 27th. It is going to be lovely to not have to schedule our lives around these long standing appointments. Plus there is not the need to clean my house all the freaking time because someone is coming over the next day. :-)
Hate: I will miss the therapists! Their PT has been with the boys since they were 6 months old. Their OT has been with us since they were a year old. I have come to value the input of these women in my boys' lives. While I do know we do a lot of work with the boys, the therapists have given me countless ideas and suggestions on how we can better work with the boys to get maximum effects. And let's face it. What they suggested had to have had a big impact. (I am not that brilliant!)
Hate even more: Now that we no longer qualify for EI, we are now headed into the world of CCS (California Children's Services). Ugh. I know in my head that this might be a good thing for the boys--new eyes looking at how to better help the boys can only be good, right? But...there is something about getting involved with a more...I don't know. This place scares me, I guess. Sigh.
Love: The weather we've had in good ole southern CA has been pretty wild lately. We had an outright thunder and lightening storm yesterday. It was amazing. I used to love going to my grandparents' house in Arizona because it never failed that we'd see an amazing electrical storm or two while we were there. The brief storm we had yesterday was just like what I remember from Arizona.
Hate: Every time it rains, we get ants. Every. Time. We've had them spray. We've had them try to seal around the door and along the house. And still, we get ants. I spent the afternoon today killing stray ants around the entryway and living room. Yuck.
Love: My boys are finally getting over their second cold of the school year. (No matter how hard I try, I still manage to infect them with the random junk that is around school.)
Hate: The husband has just come down with said germs and snores all night long.
Love: Still having strange cravings for all kinds of food. Mmmm... This is such a refreshing change from the whole having to force myself to eat stage in the first trimester.
Hate: Hm. Not much I hate in this category. Yeah!
Love: I have an OB appointment tomorrow, and I will hopefully get a chance to feel that all is going well with the baby.
Hate: It had to be rescheduled from Tuesday because the OB had an emergency surgery. My head just goes to dark places and worries about some poor woman I don't even know. I so hope she and her baby are healthy and not in the NICU.
What are you loving and hating today?
*I borrowed this idea from K at Two Adults, One Brown Baby. She has a son and a preemie daughter, beautiful Iris, and is all around pretty neat. :-)

I love that things are going well at your house.
I hate that it's midnight in mine :)
Good night.
Get some molasses granules- it's a farm store kind of thing- and sprinkle them around where the ants come in. It does not harm anything else, but the ants will get it and then take it back to their hill and it kills them all. Also, they won't go pasts the granules. They get to the granules and grab them. Just thought I would toss that idea your way. It works!!!
:) How did the appointment go?
