New York this time. Not me, mind you...the husband. It is our last week of school and we are sailing through this last little bit of class time on our way to summer time freedom. Today; however, has been a bit much. Pool party for 90 4th graders, HOT, followed by a doctor's appt for Kaden who stepped on some foreign object while playing at the lake over the weekend that required a tetanus shot, a round of antibiotics and a little digging around his ankle with a razor blade. Yes, I was a bit queazy~ Then, back home to round up kids only to have to head right back to said doctor with Kyra who has a severe middle ear infection, leading to a course of antibiotics and eardrops...she hates that. So, back to gathering the chickens only to find that the captain has landed himself in detention, for all things...some ridiculous act called "gleaking". I don't even know how it's spelled. It's this stupid spitting thing that I am sure my father taught him how to do and he and some other boys were messing around in class. He got singled out and he wasn't happy. I thought it was funny had it not been for said captain's response of "the stupid teacher gave me a stupid detention for stupid..." you get the point. He had some extra chores to do today for that one. Drum practice, dinner and now bedtime awaits and I am avoiding it a little because it is quiet right here at my little desk in my corner of the world. I know, the work is joyous and I will put my happy face on and put the little angels to bed and then there will be quiet work in the kingdom tonight. I suppose in all of this, I can't complain really. We are safe and cozy and provided for and loved and have plenty of work to do and friends and family to love. That's my silver lining quote for the day.
Ah, the sounds of joy have just found their way down the stairs to tell on princess kyra. BEDTIME!
I am still working on this one. I promise.
Drink more ovaltine.
