Monkeyblog

Or, more precisely, where does the money go on the weekend? Who knew it would be so expensive not even HAVING a monkey yet! Sconces for the nursery, the new dresser, crib linens and rechargeable batteries, cute monkey rattle and socks, vaseline and alcohol (and I don't mean cocktails!). The scary thing is, I think we are being pretty reasonable on acquiring material goods (certainly better than that woman with 7 strollers)!

Time wise, the weekend went pretty quickly too. Finished emptying the nursery, scrubbed the floor twice (amazing how much dirt one little cat can leave!), scrubbed the desk, installed the sconces, assembled a musical mobile (and thus the rechargeable batteries- I think we might be keeping Energizer in business), brought in a bookcase (low one) and filled it with children's books (lots of loot from BookExpo in NY this summer). Even replaced a window that fell out.

I figure I must be getting some hormonal runoff from Alison (does the EPA know about this?). I've been really manic for the last month doing monkey related things (building, cleaning, moving). I can't seem to sit still. I figure these are the same things that keep pregnant women alive while carrying their babies. I just hope the "don't eat your young" hormones rub off as well!
