the life

The every. single. day. ..... every. single. day.

Our days are pretty routine.  Today was one of them.  My alarm is set for 530. I roll out of bed at 550.  Jack is usually stirring.  The boys are woken up at 610.  Nash goes out side to pee and the morning starts to roll...... 

1. Jack using his fork
As I have mentioned multiple times in the past and I am sure that will come up multiple times in the future...Jack's only interest is doing what the twins do.  Today...that meant mastering the fork.  He was serious about this task and only wanted to eat pieces of his dinner if they were first on his fork.  He just continued to work as the craziness of dinner developed around him.

2. The blood bank guy
Today I had to get platelets for a patient who was REALLY sick.  Really sick.  And as I was waiting for her platelets I was talking to the blood bank guy who works in the afternoon.  I asked how is afternoon was going and he said, "You know, it's going better now.  I am actually helping someone who is really sick.  It makes all of this worth it.  There are so many people who come through the ER who are fake.  And she is sick. And I get to help her."  I agree.  I am also lucky that I only deal with people who are actually sick.  I don't have to deal with all of the shenanigans of the ED or whatnot.  And for that I am grateful.

3.  Erin
I am grateful that Erin is my sister.  I miss her TREMENDOUSLY.  I know that I am not able to accurately put into words the emptiness that I have without Erin.  She was my best friend.  And honestly, it is hard to do this life without her.

4.  San Diego
After much consultation we are going to San Diego in less than a 100 days!  We are staying at a beautiful, historic hotel and I am excited to have another visit to the ocean.

5.  Wine.
Um, I don't think that wine, prosecco, or champaign has made the list in recent months.  Clearly that was a mistake.

Trying to control his craziness at ballet.  

I snapped a picture this morning of my every day routine.  I bet the twins get as bored as I do.  Maybe I can be one of the pinterest moms and change it up a bit.
