Besides losing 3 nights of sleep this week and moving the clocks ahead an hour this weekend, the Dr. is still alive. I had my doubts for a while, if whether he would live to tell the tale of 3 mid-face nights and 6 full work days, but look, he is a live and smiling! On Sunday, I could tell he was pretty tired because he kept nodding off in the corner of our nursery class and we had 9 two-year olds running around in there.
This week here in Iowa City is Spring break so Jace has no pre-school and Raegann is in Virginia with her parents. So yesterday, was just like the good-old days. We didn't get dressed until well after noon, and I lounged with the kids and worked on the laundry. Ryan called us a 11:00 to come pick him up for lunch, so we did, in our PJ's. We then spent almost 2 hours with him in the middle of the day. It was great. It is supposed to be in the 60's and 70's all week, so it should be wonderful. Because of the warm weather Ryan has made lots of plans for us. He told us that we are all going on walks and hikes this week. He even bought a new bike tire for Jace's bike. Jace and I are home bodies, so we aren't as ecstatic as Gracie and Ryan to be in the great outdoors, but I will rally some enthusiasm! He did get us out last night on a walk, but of course I forgot my camera, so no proof that we went-but we really did. We then came home and had Family Home Evening.
The lesson was on keeping our bodies healthy and strong.
An appropriate lesson since Jace doesn't eat and Grace doesn't sleep.
We then finishd up the evening by picking muffin crumbs out of the carpet and watching the Incredibles.
And it was...Incredible.
Have a good Tuesday everyone. We are off to Speech therapy.
B4 - You are sooo dang funny! "Appropriate lesson since Jace doesn't eat and Grace doesn't sleep." I am still laughing and I needed to laugh today. UGH! (Alas, the unexpected JOYS of RETAIL!!) Tell Ryan that he better not fall asleep during MY upcoming mid-face surgery or else! (Actually, let's make that a FULL face.) If he falls asleep and screws it up, no problemo as long as he is prepared to leave me with THE JOKER face from Batman. That way I can go around terrorizing the neighborhood anonymously.
ReplyDeleteOh Mom, I love you! So it seems like you are feeling about retail the same as Ryan and I are feeling about residency --we are so over it!! Ryan has been taking some crap this week from an upper resident because he had the audacity to begin his vacation in April(when he flies to Ut) a few hours too early. Technically he is not supposed to fly to Vegas to meet me until Sunday morning, instead of way late Saturday night. Of course the program director could care less, it is just the 3rd year resident that cares. Let's make that two joker faces!!
Deletei still think we ought to teach that upper resident a lesson...virginia style.
ReplyDeleteloved your post. hope you guys get some much needed rest.
