Posted by spacemom in : Weblogs , add a commentToday is a bunch of random sentences:
- Soleil got hurt at preschool yesterday. She fell and hit her head. I spent most of the night worrying about a concussion. Do you ever stop worrying about your children?
- Luna has been insane. Absolutely insane. We are attributing this to being a toddler. I hate this phase. I know it ends and it really is only a few months. but MAN I HATE HAVING A MAD WOMAN IN THE HOUSE
- I got very little sleep last night. Luna and I were up from 2:40-5:00. I am exhausted, but still have a ton to get done.
- I am in the middle of a long project. I hope to get most of it done before the new year, but I doubt it. We are working on new specifications for how we operate our instrument on the spacecraft. It’s a lot of work and every time I think it is done, we find one more thing to work on more. I get nervous because we will be fundamentally changing how the spacecraft works. And it all depends on my work. Yikes. How’s that for stress? Thankfully, we have a team that reviews everything and slowly we are muddling through
- We go to Buffalo NY on Friday to visit my sister, and my parents. My dad and I talked 5 minutes ago. They are going up tomorrow. I love visiting, but the family drives me insane!
- Our snow thrower is fixed! But it is still in the shop because the shuttle that brings it back to our Sears only runs on Mondays and Fridays. They will hold it until next Wednesday for us.
- Dr. Jay is having a series of setbacks with his Crohn’s disease. We are cutting down his steroids and every time there is a cutback, he has a setback. This is rough. If we could sleep, he could heal better.
- I had a major snafu with the new daycare and had to reschedule our transition dates this morning. I had misunderstood the dates and left us with 3 days of no daycare! Yikes!
- We had our first "Santa Encounter" this week. We were in a mall having a picnic on the mall floor when an elderly lady stopped by. She told me that my children were beautiful. I said Thank you. Then she asked Soleil if Santa was coming to our house this year. Soleil got quiet and I said "oh no, we’re a Jewish family. Santa doesn’t visit us. But we are looking forward to dreidel and Hanukkah" Was this rude? I don’t know. I wanted Soleil to be comfortable with HER traditions and to not feel attacked for not being Christian
- My boss’s wife, V, asked for a photo of our kids. Apparently, her daughter L and SIL C have decided that our children can be D&V’s surrogate grandchildren. V is fighting back by posting the photo on her fridge! he he he he
