1. Dan's mom had a stroke on Tuesday, but got to the hospital very fast and is feeling fine now. Did you know that blood typing has gone way beyond A,B & O in the last few years. Apparently she, and probably Dan, have a problem with their Factor V blood type that can cause clotting, so we'll be keeping an eye on that now.
2. Zeppo chomped on Dan's very pretty cell phone. LCD screens do not like to be chomped on. He's also on a streak of decapitating the toys we give him. I'm glad we finally found a use for the giant bag of stuffed animals that the kids never play with.
3. The Sox are making me very happy, but I need to call my Dad more often so that we can celebrate together. I would have today, but he's in Connecticut going to his Grammar school's 50th reunion.
4. Had another dose of Rituximab today, and now I'm feeling like I'm having hot flashes. Why is it still in the 80's here? Every weekend I say we should take the air conditioner out of the window, and then the next week we're back in shorts.
5. I am completely amazed at the amount of things Nathan is doing at Pre-K. They went to an apple orchard this week, and then made snacks with the apples. Each week he's given a new letter to study, and we print out something that starts with that letter for him to bring to school. This week I made him a snowflake. Now I have to think of some fun things that start with L for next week. He also told me he made a journal this week, and I'm really interested to see what is going in that.
6. Claire is doing pretty well at daycare too. Each day we get a report that says she's happy, although she didn't nap and barely ate the first week. Today was the first hiccup, when they didn't want her taking her blankie to the lunch table. We've tried not sending her in with blankie, but then she just carried her puppy-shaped pillow everywhere instead. When I came to pick her up, she was sending him down the slide.
7. We can make an attempt to sleep in for the next three days. No school and no work, but I'm sure we'll send the kids to daycare on Monday so we can have some time alone. Although that time alone probably needs to be spent dusting, vacuuming and mopping. I'd like to say that I just haven't had time since I started work, but I was pretty behind even before then.
8. Work is good. After a week of giving me lots of copying, typing and filing, they realized that my talents were being wasted. So I am now doing the whole job of the person I'm filling in for. I'll be taking care of fraudulent or mistaken direct debits to checking account, refunding the money and any overdraft fees. (An aside: Don't people know that you're not supposed to use Debit cards for online transactions, hotels or rental cars. Doesn't everyone know that?)
9. I thought I left my credit card on top of my car while getting gas and had to cancel it. So for the last week I've had to use my debit card for everything, including online purchases. Found it in my jacket, which I had not worn for a week because it was 80 frikken degrees.
10. I wanted to add more pictures, but I can't find the camera. Cleaning the house is a definite priority this weekend. I'll have to settle for these pictures from a carnival last month.
