Good morning! Please don’t ask
why because I don’t know the answer, but I just haven’t really felt like
writing as of late. Well, writing here.
I’ve been working on doula
homework and that requires some reading but lots of research first, especially
for the handouts that I’ve been working on. I enjoy that. Part of the homework
has been walking for half an hour each day. I’ve been logging that; today is
the last day of the two weeks and I’ll get to report on it. Next is spending
half an hour each day for a week with water. I was kind of hoping to get a
membership at the fitness center and spend half an hour each day in the pool
but I think spending half an hour down by the creek would qualify because it’s living
water, so to speak; moving, running, full of life. The pool would just be nice.
Kitty had her kittens this
morning. Cedric came to me about 4:30 and said, “Kitty is giving birth!” Where?
On his bed! He spent the rest of the night on the couch to give Kitty her space
although if she was okay with giving birth on his bed, she probably would have
been fine had he stayed. He reported this morning that he at first thought it
was her leg or something but then he heard it squeak and he figured out what
had happened. In spite of the light being turned on and my going after Cedric
to tell him to not touch Kitty or the kittens, Seth was completely unaware of
what had happened when he woke up. However, I discovered a way to get Joanna up
fast: tell her there are new kittens!
Amena wasn’t feeling well last
night before bed and she ended up vomiting three times during the night. Joseph
had the same thing Saturday except he vomited once and had diarrhea. I had
something at least similar Friday with just diarrhea. Too much information? At
least you know what’s been up with us. (Insert smiley face!)
Friday I got to go to Joseph’s
class. Another mother was helping with egg decorating and she’d brought her own
helper (another child). I ‘helped’ with coloring by providing crayons when they
didn’t have a color they needed. While they were doing that, they got to watch
some Easter videos. Some of them were rather corny; one was an adaptation of
the Velveteen Rabbit.
Sunday afternoon the boys and I
went to the park so they could ride bikes. Paul actually dropped us off and
then went to talk to Ray. I didn’t want to go but I’m glad I did because I
really don’t think three boys, especially those named Cedric, Seth and Joseph,
should be dropped off at the park on their own. It was kind of fun, anyway, and
I got to ‘chase’ Joseph around in the playground.
Yesterday Seth informed me that
since this is April Vactation, we
shouldn’t have to do any work. Although it sounds like fun, I generally don’t
agree. There is far too much that needs to be done to not do any work.
Yesterday the living room was cleaned and the library was begun.
Since Saturday Cedric and Seth got
to go to Walmart to use their gift cards, I took Joseph yesterday. Seth wanted
to go as well because he still had some money to use. Amena wanted to go to the
library because she has some reading she needs to get done. We stopped at the
bank first, which was open, and then the library, which was closed. I’m
guessing because it was Patriot’s Day? I’m also guessing that Patriot’s Day is
something that New England can actually claim because I’d never heard of it
until we moved here.
Up for today? More cleaning.
Laundry. A walk. Doula homework. Pretty exciting, from the look of it.
Have a fantastic day!
