Car Trouble

I left the office today about 10 minutes late to meet Casey (as usual). Walked down the stairs, into the parking lot and sat down in my car. Tried to turn the key -- it wouldn't budge. Jiggled the steering wheel, nothing. Pushed on the shifter, jiggled the steering wheel, held my foot on the brake, gently placed the key in the ignition and turned ever so softly... nothing.

Casey picked me up, I took her to work and after 4 hours we were on our way "home" after dropping the car off (via tow truck) at the dealership to have most of the ignition tumbler replaced. Ok, great... so I can drive 45 minutes home, unload the kids and then leave at 9:00 to go pick up Casey from work. That gives us... 30 minutes at home. I decided to just drive around. Actually, we stopped at Walgreen's so that E and I could go to the bathroom and then M and K could have a diaper change. After that, M decided it'd be a hoot to run as fast as she could from aisle to aisle with me barely catching a glimpse of her now and then while pushing the stroller as fast as the little wheels could go.

Now I'm at home, exhausted. Honestly, the evening didn't go as bad as it could have, and really I think I managed to keep a positive (and friendly) attitude during the whole thing. We'll see what my attitude is like after we get the estimate on the repairs tomorrow.

Preschooler Bible Verses

E: "I'm a wonderful maid. Psalm 139:14." I'm not sure that the brand new E translation is quite as accurate as some of the others!

Water, Water Everywhere

This morning I took all three girls with me to M's swimming therapy. Everything went really well, and now E and K have been invited to come swim each week. E is really excited, and I think it'll be fun (and a challenge) to take them all.



Casey has to work the next 6 days in a row, so I've got lots of Daddy time coming up! I'm sure that Casey and I will find some good time to spend together as well.

How does that work exactly? Is the water that shallow or are there that many helping hands or both? I'm sure the girls are enjoying all their special daddy time.

There are lots and lots of student teachers. There are so many extras that they already have two student teachers per child and they still have students sitting out. While Emma doesn't actually qualify for the program (Kaetlyn probably does), they just need more kids so they all got invited. There's only a few weeks left this semester, I wonder if they'll be short on kids in the spring too.

A Good Day

Well today I actually had a really productive day at work. It's been so crazy the past couple of months I've hardly had a chance to take a breath, so it's been hard to recognize the good days along the way.

Hopefully my blogging gene will get switched back on, I think I really need an outlet.

Comments
I am glad you had a productive day! I actually cleaned the kitchen along with mopping so I think overall it was a productive day!

Cheeeeeese!

K likes cottage cheese!

(Yes, I feel slightly guilty that I haven't posted in almost two months and that's all the content you get, but the breaking of the silence has to start somewhere.)
