Family

We are back at Community South and this time my mom is HAVING SURGERY.  This is a pretty intense surgery and will take her months to recover.  Not weeks--months.  I have been sitting here so far for 5 hours.  Hopefully things are going smoothly back in the OR.  

As usually we have been busy.  The boys started fall break this week so they are now at Greg's house.  The week with one child will be much appreciated since I will be spending many extra hours down here at CHS.

1. Camino 

On Friday the boys participated in their first school fundraiser.  Mike and I went that afternoon to walk with the boys.  It was interesting to see them with their friends and it was nice to finally put a face to some of the names.  I was also able to meet some of the other moms that I have been emailing with.  

Owen won second place for raising the most money in Kindergarten.  He was super excited and showed off his prize all weekend.

2. Lunch Date
After the walk Mike and I went and had a quick lunch date.  We hit up the newly renovated Ale Emporium and like always, it did not disappoint.  We have not taken time out to just be with each other in a few weeks.  It was so nice to sit with him and not have to worry about anything.  After lunch we got home and took a 10 minute nap before getting the boys off the bus.  It was a fabulous few hours on Friday.

3. Trip to Cleveland
I am grateful that we were able to jump in the car and make the SHORT trip to Cleveland.  We were headed there to celebrate UT's life.  Brian and Lauren came in from New York and Pat flew in to help watch the boys.  The trip was short and exhausting but still nice to check in with everyone.  Jack did not sleep well and on Sunday we had to leave early to make it back for the boys soccer game.  All three boys took naps in the car.  Grateful that we live close enough and that everyone was able to make the trip.

4. IG
One of my favorite parts of the day is getting tagged in instagram posts from Shelby.  We can be sitting at different desks at work and she will tag me in hilarious videos and pictures.  I usually tag her in the middle of the night when I am pumping.  Anyways, it is always a small highlight to the day.

5. Clean bathrooms

Back to my day on friday.....I FINALLY cleaned our bathrooms.  Holy moly my house has been gross.  We pick up every night but with 5 humans and a dog it just gets dirty.  Grateful that I will have clean bathrooms. PLUS....the boys are on fall break so the filth will stay away for a few days longer than normal.  Now THAT is a reason to be grateful.
