I spent most of today in a crowded crazy indoor playspace. Can you say "sensory overload"? Yeah. that’s me, not the kids.

As we were leaving, we discovered that someone took Soleil’s right boot and left one of their. Which wouldn’t have been so bad if they hadn’t taken BOTH right boots. So now Soleil has a wonderful set of two left boots. Lovely. I am checking the overstocks at Lands’ End right now, but I am pretty pissed at the manager at this playspace. She was not at all helpful in the whole situation. She kept telling us that we had to hunt down the kid from our party who took the boots. When we pointed out that a) we had gone through the 4 bins placed together and b) there were no kids at our party with EM as initials (in the boot) she got really pissy

Sigh

I haven’t had much time to update. Friday, we had no school, so Soleil and I planned a "mom-daughter" day. It turned out "freak of nature" day as she invited her friend, N. This friend is in the 2 person reading group for the advanced readers in Soleil’s grade. It was scary. They thought the same way. They wanted to see the same exhibits. They melted the same way… I found Soleil’s twin. Downright scary!

Thursday I was at work for a very long day. First, I took Luna to an early morning check up and discovered that she still had an ear infection. Great. Then I dropped her off at daycare, got to work. Started working on the command load review and discovered that we had a crapload of issues that I needed to discuss with the flight Ops team. Then I got a call that Luna was sick. Called Jay and he said he would pick her and her medicine up. In the afternoon, I did a flight software upgrade. The same one we did in October. Sigh. I ran to meet the kids and Jay for dinner, then I was back at the Operations control center to watch that the new software was behaving well.

So, I haven’t been updating. Sorry about that, but I have been busy!  

Tomorrow night: Final photos from kitchen remodel!
