I survived my manic Monday!
And so did dmom. She seems to be doing very well, actually. We were in and out of the dentist office by 9:30 a.m. We stopped at pharmacy, got pain med & antibiotic dentist had prescribed, and I took her home and basically just watched her cook her own breakfast. She wanted scrambled eggs, and I tend to overcook them (according to her & dh) so I just let her do that and I made labels for her 2018 file folders. Addressed her Valentine's Day card for dbro. Took her garbage can to the road. Then I came home and took a four hour nap!
I talked to her a little while ago and she still sounds good, so I think this is going to be okay.
And my week is not looking quite as crazy as I predicted. So far as Nana-duty, there was none today. Turns out the student ds had today is also feeling poorly and had a doctor's appt.
Tomorrow, I will have dgd at least 4 hours or so, but dgs will only be here an hour possibly. (DH & DS will be singing at one of their monthly nursing home visits.)
Wednesday... I keep forgetting that dgd will be at the doctor, so it will only be dgs after school, and then dgd also from the time ds has to leave until ddil returns from school -- probably only a few hours that I will have both. DH will be gone to a basketball game again, so I'll have a few hours to myself before and after Nana duty.
Thursday... ddil said she didn't have class that night after all! Dgd will be here again for a few hours, then we'll pick up dgs at school and we'll have them both a few hours, but ddil will be home by 5:00 or 6:00 pm.
I am still tired though -- even my nap didn't completely refresh me. I only slept about 2.5 hours last night (this morning, LOL). When I am awake, I just want to eat and eat and eat. Maybe I can get a better sleep tonight. Fortunately, none of the Nana-duty requires early waking times.
Oh -- (((Twins))) -- I am thinking of you and your dmom & dbro... such a hard time.
Hope you feel better soon, Cathy! AND Dee! * That is such a nice surprise for your dh for Valentine's Day, btw!
(((Kathryn))) -- for all the losses and stress -- AND (((Kathryn's dgs!) I remember when dgs, ds, and ddil had that virus. It was even worse for them than for dgs! Hope no one else catches at in your family.
blessed, my dh never wants to get rid of anything. I feel your pain.
I'm sorry -- I'm just going to have to wave to everyone and call it a night tonight.
Hope you all have a restful, calm night and start tomorrow in a great way!
