Ken went to work today and after over an hour and a half had someone connected to work finally log in, he asked when everyone else was coming in and found out the office was taking it as a holiday! So after a wee bit of a stressful morning we had Ken home to play and help out. After the twins had their lunch and went to nap and Emanuel nursed and wasdown for his sleep Ken let me go and have an over 3 hour nap! Bliss!! and then my mom got here around 4 and we all walked downtown. I had gotten a call from Pop’lar books this afternoon that my book had come in so the timing was great. Actually my old co-worker Suzie (she also went to AUC) was the one who called so I asked her to join Facebook so that when she leaves in a month for a new job we can keep in touch. I hope she finds the time to. On our walk downtown we ran into someone who graduated the year after I did in highschool – it has totally been the month of catching up with people from my past (something that has totally screwed with my dreams as well! Funny what gets your subconscious going!).
Easter went rather well. Mom met us here in the morning and we all went to church, we only stayed until after communion and then left 5 min early or so since the kids were getting antsy. We had lunch at KFC (the restaurant was empty so it was nice to be able to chat) and then we went to Walmart for some shopping. My mom got the twins each a pair of sandals and Emanuel a cute little shorts and t-shirt outfit. We decided to get the twins scooters for their birthday party in May. $20.00 a piece… and then $60.00 worth of summer clothes. Emanuel is lucky he has tons of out growns in wonderful condition. After naps the kids got their gifts from us – moonsand which I am sure we will have to get extra off since the kids are not especially careful but it vacuums up so nicely and Emanuel’s vibrating and giggling sheep toy that the twins have had more fun with than him. The little eggs I cross stitched turned out really nice after my mom finished them. I am going to make Ken and myself each one after I finish the gift for Layne and Dee’s baby girl.
So the week has just started and the weather is… better, the kids are still rather tempermental and mommy still could use a break but I hope to get out more and maybe see an improvement all round… I can hope right?
Now if we could just have a peaceful and EASY bedtime. I wonder if we will EVER have that!
