Wednesday May 21 was a fun day. We got up and did some school work and chores. Then we went to P.E. That was fun, especially since it wasn’t has hot as the week before. We got home by 1 and did lunch and naps and then just “chilled out†the rest of the day. It was a fun relaxed day.
Thursday, my busiest day of the week is about to get easier. Alix went to her last Science class. They learned all about butterflies and other insects. They even had snail races. Since Alix’s class is so small and it was the last one, the teacher asked Jaime if she’d like to stay and play too. So it was fun to go to the park with the three little one’s. It was fun to see Niah really latch on to Afton. They played so well together. Milo just road his bike around the park area doing “tricksâ€. After that we came home and had two hours to do our school work. It worked out to be great timing. We went to Jaime’s piano and Jaime’s last dance class. We got home and the kids were all so tired from no naps that everyone, except Jaime and I were asleep by 6:30pm. Jaime and I had dinner together and enjoyed spending some one on one time together. Scott was not due home till after 10pm. He’ll have to tell you all about that. After I put Jaime to bed I talked with the other primary counselor for a little while (we usually have meetings on Thursday evenings but our president is out of town so we just had a meeting over the phone).
Friday was a dreaded day for me. It’s not easy to explain but I REALLY don’t enjoy going to the doctor. Especially when I am pregnant. It’s just a lot of work for them to tell me exactly what I already know. Anyway, I decided I couldn’t avoid it any longer and that I should go for my appointment (I think it’s only my 5 appointment this pregnancy). Anyway, he did tell me all the same things. I did have some paper work to fill out and turn in and he had to do a test in the exam room and I had to go get blood drawn and and and. Anyway, by the time I was done I was so tired and wore out that I just came home grumpy!! It didn’t make for a very fun night but I got to bed “early†and tried to sleep it off.
Saturday May 24 I woke up with an awful headache but tried really hard to not be grumpy. Scott and Milo went to help a young man in our ward with is Eagle Project (Scott will have to tell you about that). I stayed home with the girls and we cleaned the house. I was going to be all done with my clothing project (finally) but I was two bins short, bummer!! So I neatly put the things in a corner of Afton’s room and I hope to get those bins soon. The rest of the house looked great by the time Scott got home. Jaime had a dance to perform at Fremont’s Kite Festival. Scott took her because she really wanted to spend some time with dad and this was the perfect opportunity So after they left, I put the three little one’s down for naps, let Alix watch a video and I napped. It was super needed. I didn’t get too long of a nap because Alix needed a video change, but it was enough to help the headache and grumpiness. Scott and Jaime got home about 3 and then we went outside to do some playing and car cleaning. Then we loaded the car with all the D.I stuff and then came inside for dinner. After dinner we made arrangements with a guy who was getting rid of all his camping gear (for a great price) to go and look at it. We went to the church where the D.I trailer usually is but it was not there. We proceeded on to this guys place, decided the stuff was worth the price and loaded up our van. We then tried another church building and found the trailer. We even opened it and nothing fell out onto our heads, success!! We got home and got the kids to bed around 9:30pm, VERY late for them. We could tell this morning how very bad it was to have them up so late on a Saturday night!
Guess that is the news. Not much else to report. The girls are officially done with their current grade level and are now doing “maintenance school†so that their brains don’t fall out their ears before September. That makes for less stress around here, yay!! Love you all.
I completely know what you mean about dr. appts. I recently paid $20 to get weighed, have my blood pressure taken, listen to the baby’s heartbeat and measure fundal height– all nice but not absolutely necessary. I did get a handout about ways to avoid my impending psyatic nerve pain, which I probably won’t have time or effort to follow! My next appt. is the dreaded glucose test. I take it only because my grandfather had diabetes, otherwise I’d take the Sami approach and say “bite me!”
I am glad your schedule has slowed down a bit; it sounds like you can use as much down time as possible for the next 58 days!
