Week in MY Life: 10.1.08

• another rough morning with the usual before school meltdown. she’s also upset we didn’t scrapbook. i promise her scrapbooking time this evening.
• wound care for her biopsy sites is torture to her. it's been a week and the swelling is down, bruise still apparent.
• shower. pack lunch. put in a load of laundry. check email.
• ashlyn does some art and coloring.
• walk to the bus stop. once there, she buries her head in my side and covers her face with her hands. bus comes, she waits to be the last one on. breaks out into a meltdown sobbing. gets on bus, sits in front seat. (seeing a pattern here?)
• hang frames on wall
• more laundry.....washing seasonal clothes for emma.
• want to climb back in bed it looks so warm and cozy
• clutter control. shut the hallway closet door for the 5th time today. it never stays closed for long. EVER. grrrrrr.
• work, NOON-5.
• doug IM’s wishing we could go to Don Pablos---used to be a weekly family date.
• suzi and I email about making quilts
• remember the $15 overpaid copay check---BONUS! decide to order Don Pablos carryout---chicken fajitas, double rice, no beans, 2 kid’s queso, 1 beef enchilada a la carte, loads of chips and salsa…$12.47. this used to be a weekly family date night at the restaurant. we haven't had the pleasure in a while though. it was extra delicious.
• arrive home at the same time as doug and kids.
• girls go crazy over happy mail they received from grammy at the beach.
• eat dinner, then out the door with suzi to joann’s to browse fabric.
• get sidetracked at joann’s by the paper mache letters on major sale. i have big plans! (another project, LOL!)
• stop for apple juice (we’re always running out)
• have racing heart episode on way home, difficulty breathing.
• come home to emma wheezing. a breathing treatment is in order.
• 10 minutes later she's hyperventilating over a drop of blood from her picking one of many boo-boos on her legs. the kid must go through 10 bandaids a day.
• home to snuggle ashlyn and watch ironman with doug.
• ashlyn falls asleep in my arms, emma in our bed
