Today was payday, otherwise known as "coffee and muffins day". We have a great little coffee place downtown which is sadly not open on weekends, so any indulgences have to be done Monday to Friday. They make an ambrosia muffin that is to die for; pineapple and coconut goodness with a sweet pineapple glaze on top, and it's low fat too. I would choose that one even if it wasn't better for me, which is convenient because their other offerings include things like chocolate cheesecake muffins and homemade granola bars which are really just vehicles for gooey sweet stuff with raisins and chocolate chips. Their coffee is excellent, too. I sadly was unable to have an ambrosia muffin this morning as they were all out, and settled for a vastly inferior gingerbread, but there is always next Coffee and Muffins Day to look forward to... and now, having said that, I feel like a giant dork loser.

Today was also our Super Activity Day - ballet and swimming, both activities fitting snugly around a short dinner hour (or, more accurately, dinner forty-five minutes). L looks forward to this day all week. She had a great time at both activities, and her ballet teacher told me that she did a decent job listening today, which is a bit of an issue with L at times and is even more of a challenge right now as she has a friend in ballet class this year and there is much squealing and running to be done. Her swim class is working out great so far. There are only three kids in her group, but one of them refuses to actually get into the water, so L is getting a lot of time to work on her moves. She had earned her first badge a while back, but had to start over as she was too long away from lessons and started to get nervous about it all again. She is being a trooper, though, and has her usual constant smile as she is in the pool and complains loudly when it's over ("It's too short! It was only one second long!").

There are a million things I should be doing. Instead, I'm sitting here watching my tummy move as the baby goes through whatever manoeuvres s/he seems to feel are necessary.
