Not much to report from this last week, mostly just the regular schedule of school and playing and doctor visits! Of course, our weekend was a slightly different story.
Chris worked on Saturday since he had things to do that required taking the computer system down and his coworkers appreciate him doing that while they’re not there. (He gets to take Tuesday off instead, which is a nice trade considering the holiday weekend.) Things didn’t quite go as smoothly as he hoped and he ended up working for 22 hours straight! He finally made it home around 6am on Sunday, poor guy… he hadn’t eaten since lunch on Saturday and had been up for more than 24 hours!
Unfortunately, I was then injured in a freak Valentine’s Day accident (LiliBee poked me in the eye with a surprisingly sharp candy wrapper) and had to spend the whole morning in the ER. I have a corneal abrasion, which will heal quickly but is remarkably painful and interferes with my ability to do things like drive and read. Chris finally got to have some food and sleep Sunday afternoon.
Other than the ER trip, Valentine’s day was pretty fun around here. I got a surprise card from CareBear and some technology thing that will be handy once I figure it out from LiliBee and Chris. The girls and I painted the patio door for Chris’ valentine… they had a great time making a big mess and a “masterpiece”. He was very impressed, of course. The kids also got some candy and super exciting Hello Kitty fans from Grams and Pas. All in all, CareBear thinks Valentine’s Day is great and LiliBee is happy to go along with that.
This week is going to be a busy one. I’m “snack mom” at school tomorrow and have my monthly ultrasound on Wednesday. Thursday we’re(hopefully) going to be training Grams and Pas in the drop off/pick up routine at school so CareBear won’t miss much time while I’m out of commission in March and April. Friday is my weekly OB visit. I also have several things I need to get done in my “job” as publicity person for the preschool (if you know anyone looking for a preschool, we’ll be holding an open house on March 3rd!). And this week is Chris and my anniversary-of-sorts… it’s when we met so we use it as our anniversary on the years when there’s no Leap Day!
