Good morning!
We had a rainy day yesterday. Rainy and humid. The
rain part was pretty okay. The humid part was pretty not okay.
School was school. Rain was rain. Thursdays are really
low key days around here at the moment. They are the one day that we don’t have
to go anywhere. No art. No PE. No scouts. No soccer. No church. Just school
work and whatever else we feel like doing. Yesterday that included a lot of
Legos and jumping on the trampoline in the rain. The boys were so wet when they
came in that they made lakes in the dining room while they were eating lunch
and puddles in the kitchen.
Today I have a doula shift so last night I got as
ready as I possibly could with the minor exception of taking a shower before I
went to bed. I did do that once but
generally I don’t like to shower at night for the following day. As is typical,
the more prepared I am, the less likely it seems that there will be need for me
to go in. There are two more Friday’s this month; we’ll see how they go. I
think I’m going to do Friday 11 to 7 next month. That way I don’t have to worry
about anyone watching the boys and if I do go in, I can sleep Saturday morning.
Today has already been more interesting than was
yesterday. Cedric apparently didn’t shut the gate to the goat pen well enough
and all but one of the kids got out. Seth and I got three in and I let Cedric
get the last one.
Paul has a doctor’s appointment at 9:00 this morning
and is still in bed. I think he leads a charmed life, or something. He likes to
wait until beyond the last possible moment to leave and arrive on time and
still he gets in and no one yells at him. I do my best to take into account
anything that is likely to take time and usually am early or at least on time,
but sometimes am late. No one ever really yells at me but still. And on the
other hand, at the orthodontist office the receptionist did yell once over the
phone when I was making an appointment for Daniel. He was tired of having to
miss the last class of the day and all I wanted to do was make an appointment that
would work with us leaving as soon as he got home at 2:30. She didn’t seem to
understand that for me to go pick him up earlier meant that he would miss at
least an hour and a half of school and would cause me to be driving more than
two hours. You cannot tell me that there weren’t enough patients who lived
and/or went to school closer who wouldn’t be missing so much school and wouldn’t
have been driving so much. I’m really glad that I don’t have to deal with her
any more. Daniel would be out of braces by now and so far no one else needs
them.
Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day.
