The stove that came with the house is sick. When I tried to clean the oven, it began to cough and sneeze. Well, actually, it tried to clean itself, but for some reason about an hour into the cycle, it starts beeping like crazy and turned itself off. The "lock" light, to indicate that the stove is too hot and the oven door cannot be opened never went off. I tried a few times to get the thing to either go through the self-clean cycle or to unlock the oven door to no avail. So we have no oven. So I had to cook my entire "oven" meal on the stove top. Brisket and butternut squash, which actually turned out very good...we ate the whole thing! The Dood is researching what the problem could be and I guess we'll call Maytag to find out what we can do about it, if anything.
In Emerson news, she went to "school" today for the first time. It was a trial run, as I don't go back to work until next week. She went from 1:30pm-5:30pm. I had planned to take her picture to commemorate the event, but was crying too much to do much of anything, especially operate a camera. The staff was very gentle with me as they are used to first time Moms crying during their first time drop off. Emerson did very well and was whole and intact when we went to retrieve her. This particular school is very desirable and hard to get into (we applied in July), so we are happy that she is going there. And I need to thank my husband, who went with me. He is a rock who was strong for both of us. After we dropped her off, he bought me a Decaf Grande Vanilla Latte from Starbucks to make me feel better...and it worked.
When we are not being forced indoors because of smoke from the mulch fire, we like to take walks around the hood. Emerson really enjoys being outside. She gets to look around and she gets her Vitamin D!
