Really, it’s no wonder that my pants are getting too tight.

April 21

• Having a little time by myself while Poppy and Rockford ran errands.

April 22

• Getting teary-eyed at Hallmark ads.
• Rockford making me appointments for a haircut and a facial.
• Finding a sitter for Poppy so we can go out every now and then.

April 23

• Going on a “date.” We went to the mall, had cheeseburgers and walked around. It was so relaxing and lovely to spend some time with Rockford.

April 24

• Getting a haircut. I was way overdue.
• Poppy playing with her giant pink bouncy ball. She can barely see around it when she carries it.
• Black bean tostadas.
• Rockford getting up to make me a grilled cheese sandwich at midnight because I said I was hungry.
