(More than you ever wanted to know…)7:15 ::Woke up. Took more Ibuprofen for cramps and back muscle pain.7:45 ::Got up when it became obvious that I wasn’t going back to sleep.
Took shower. Made bed.
Couldn’t stand the quiet. Put on Princess Bride for company. PERFECT!!
Bagel with cream cheese, OJ, and vitamins for breakfast. Huge smile on my face from all the quotable lines in the movie. Computer time. Laundry. Dishes.
(Not perfect, but much, much better.)
Finished getting ready.
10:15 ::Headed to hospital for chest xrays. (Put my new phone in my purse. Leif threw my other phone in the bathtub. The new one Russ purchased for me has military specs. Indestructible, hopefully.)
(Gray, misty day.)
Got xrays done. Picked up book I left at the doctor’s office yesterday.
Target (again), Craft Store.
Went to my favorite local pizza joint. Finished Deconstructing Penguins.
1:00 ::Home for more Ibuprofen.
More laundry. Put paper in glass cabinet doors.
(I started keeping all my extra decorating stuff in the cabinet, but the cluttered look was killing me.)
(I don’t like seeing the edges of the paper, but it will do for now. Maybe I’ll re-do it some day with wrapping paper or fabric.)
Got together supplies for Spartan toga costumes. (Finally picked up the leather cord while at the craft store.)
Computer time. Cleaned up stacks of paper on the kitchen counter. More computer time.
The Princess Bride is playing for the third time. I don’t know what to do with myself. I decide to clean up the playroom. (Ugh.)
4:00 ::Shan arrives with the big boys. We chat. Levi gets ready for TKD. Shan takes him to class and Luke on errands. Doctor’s office calls and said xrays are negative. (See, all in my head.) I finish cleanining up the playroom.
(Yes, the walls are a mess. I have some decorating ideas for this room, but it is not even close to the priority list right now.)
5:00 ::Head out to pick up Leif. Chat with mom and dad for a little bit.
5:30 ::Back home. Put on a show for Leif and thaw chicken for dinner. I call Russ to make sure he can pick Levi up. He sounds groggy and tells me that he was taking a nap under his desk at work. Hmm. I can’t believe it took this long for the nasty cold to hit him. At least he’s smart enough to take a power nap rather than drive home tired…
6:15 ::Shannon comes back with Luke. Leif gets his finger smashed in a door.
7:00 ::Russ arrives home with Levi. We sit down for chicken, cheesy broccoli and cauliflower, and bread.
7:30 ::Boys get into their jammies, brush their teeth, and snuggle on the couch with daddy to watch a few minutes of Penelope.
8:30 ::Luke reads a couple little books to me. Levi reads to himself.
Boys in bed. Ahhhhhh.
9:00 ::I clean up the kitchen from dinner. Do dishes. (Okay, I did leave the pans to ‘soak.’) Run the dishwasher. Luke won’t stay in bed.
9:30 ::I post on my blog and head to bed. Maybe I’ll read for a couple minutes before falling asleep….
