Monday I got a slow start because of a late night Sunday, but I managed to be pretty productive, getting some computer stuff done. I looked up materials for one of Sunshine’s classes (Shakespeare) then pulled out the cutting dies I bought three months ago but never had time to do anything with. I’m not super happy with the crane …
River, when I asked him which language he wanted to start learning for school: British. Me: Umm, there’s no such language. In Britain they speak English just like we do, just with a different accent and different slang. Him, not completely convinced: Hmmm.
Monday morning the boys slept in, which surprised me since it’s a very rare occurrence. They didn’t wake up till I was in the shower. After my shower, we loaded up and headed out for the final leg of the trip. It was fairly uneventful, though we did run into rain and heavy fog coming around the mountain just past …
During church a few months ago Ocean was drawing a picture of a teenage mutant ninja turtle on daddy’s phone while humming the theme song to TMNT. Unfortunately, he just doesn’t understand how/isn’t able to turn down the volume, so we had to keep shushing him since it was the middle of sacrament meeting. He’s done this with other characters as …
Monday I woke up at 3:15am due to some mild acid reflux. It was enough to wake me up and be painful and make my lungs not feel great, but not bad enough to be super painful or really do a number on my lungs, which has happened in the past. It gave me half an hour to fully wake …
In April I had to do a 24 hour urine collection for my endocrinologist. The kids were all grossed out by the large container that I had to store in the fridge. As I carried the container upstairs for the last addition, Jeremy made a comment about it, then Ocean chimed in with his two cents. Jeremy then asked Ocean …
Monday I got up and paid bills, then did the grocery shopping. I had a number of stops to make, but they didn’t leave me wiped out exhausted, just tired. I also did some much needed decluttering of surfaces in the kitchen and living room. Jeremy and the kids tend to pile things up on whatever available surface is nearest …
We’re fairly sure Ocean has some oppositional defiance stuff going on, and he’s currently struggling to respond appropriately when he gets upset when something doesn’t go how he wants it to. This is not helped when his older brother deliberately antagonizes him, as siblings frequently do. I was talking to River, asking him to support his brother as he tries …
Monday I was up early to leave at 7am to take Sunshine and another YCA from our ward to the stake center an hour away. All the stake adult and youth leaders headed to camp on Monday and will be joined by ward adults and the rest of the youth on Tuesday. Sunshine wasn’t super thrilled about leaving again so …
