First off, we need the gambling pro (aka Grandma) to remind us how to read the betting lines for the purpose of the playoffs. Paul, Jan, Mike, and I all made fools of ourselves last night trying to figure it out.
Paul got the kids from daycare and took Zach to speech. We are probably going to add a second session on Thursday afternoons. It won’t start til after Dublin next week. Paul said that Zach was very motivated at speech and good at doing the exercises. We got more homework that we need to be better about doing with him. Maybe we need to assign Auntie Jan 20 minutes a night of speech therapy with Zach or something?
Once I got home from work, Paul had started making the kids dinner and then left to go running. Jan had finished making the dinner and was very impressed with her culinary skills. (Pasta, carrots and celery, and pineapple). Nate wanted plate after plate after plate of pasta. Jan finally told him he had to eat a carrot before she would give him more. Nate popped a carrot in his mouth. Jan gave him more pasta. Nate then spit out the half-chewed carrot and ate the pasta. (Lesson learned, make him swallow first).
Both boys were in good moods. I guess adjusting back to the regular schedule is working out. I called the spa Jan got me a gift cert for my B-day. Jan and I planned to each do 90 minute massages on Saturday. There is an hour between us, so we can get home and switch off watching the kids with Paul away. As I am leaving the voice mail for the spa, Zach is on me saying “mommy, mommy, mommy!” It was funny because I am sure the spa people laughed at the message I left and desperate need for massage. Jan and I also plan to get Pat to babysit Saturday night so we can go to the movies. I am checking with him when I pick up the kids.
Zach and Nate were begging for the new movie, Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. I have no idea how they knew it came out on DVD today (someone at school?) but they were BEGGING for it. Paul eventually was able to order it on-line and download it to the TV upstairs. I am sure this made them happy.
Paul made yummy steak for dinner. (No veggies for Jan, though). Jan and I were able to get in two episodes of Six Feet Under last night. PEPS is at Matthew’s tonight. Jan may come.
Nate bit me HARD on the upper thigh. Skin was broken but no blood flowed. It hurt like hell.
I am sure I am forgetting lots of stuff so Jan and Paul can supplement.
