passing time

well, i have to leave in 20 minutes to get my parents and i am ready. so ready i'm going to make myself sick by not leaving so i thought i might do an update about not much at all. emily went to the potty today 3 times! this is a record, especially seeing as we haven't been doing it for weeks. she took herself off there this morning, i have to help her remove the diaper and unsnap her clothes but she sits down and does her business. completely fantastic. it was a pretty big bum around day though. matthew threw a little tantrum this morning because i said it was unacceptable on a weekday to still be in pj's past 11:30am. like i'm one to speak but he had been up for hours, normally i'm only surfacing. two minutes has passed since i started typing. this sucks. i should just go. i'm going to get stuck in traffic, what if i dont? then i'm there far too early. they arrive in just under 2 hours from l.a. so technically they've been in the u.s. since this morning and i've been nervous (i don't know if that's the correct term but it does feel like nerves, mind you, i often get fear, excitement and nervousness a little confused sometimes, the same affect happens to my body, though it depends on what kind of excited i am, like if it's good news abouta friend then i'll be puppy wiggly excited, or if i'm seeing my parents for the first time in 6 months i'm shitting-myself-about-to-throw-up-need-a-cigarette nervous/excited. this bracket has gone for long enough).
anyway, that took away another 2 minutes. by the time i get on the expressway it'll be 5:30 and who knows, tonight traffic could be beastly. ok, you know, i talked myself into it. i'm gonna go. i should go to the bathroom first cause i'm gonna need to wee in about 5 minutes once i get in the car.
i'll leave an update tomorrow then it will be nothing til i get back from vacay!
