5 more days.
With each day I can tell Dax is getting even more anxious to
get his cast off. We also are at the point in which it is super itchy and he is
having more problems sleeping because of it. We will have nights where there is
success with all of the factors lining up the way they should. Then we have the
other nights, like this morning when Dax came into our bedroom at 3:30 saying
he was really itchy. In all fairness, his Benadryl most like had worn off what
with him having taken it at 7:45 last night, but it didn’t mean it was fun
losing out on my last 20 minutes of sleep. Of course, he is in a worse boat
since I know he has to deal with that constant annoyance of an itch that can’t
be scratched.
Parent/Teacher conference this afternoon. I am amused at how
nervous I get. I know what she is going to say. I know what Bobby needs to
improve on. There is still just that feeling of dread when you have to meet
with the teacher. It’s like I worry she is judging my parenting ability. And I
adore Mrs. Arevelo! But it is just one of those things.
I managed to write up the preliminary budget for the region
and sent it to Jimmy. Now he has to review it and provide some other numbers so
we can see if the figures I came up with will put us over or under. It isn’t a
perfect process, and really we are truly just guessing on some things based on
if we know about any major equipment purchases or upcoming expenses that were
not present this last fiscal year. I suppose, though, in some ways it is nice
resume padding if I ever leave my job.
I need to find a new book that isn’t such a downer. The last
handful of books I have read have all ended with someone dying or they have
cancer or so many bummer books. I may need to find some random goofy book that
is incredibly stupid but that leaves me laughing instead of crying.
One of my coworkers just commented on the fact that I am
wearing green today. It was almost like she was shocked that I would remember.
I pointed out to her that if anything, I am not nearly as decked out as I have
been in the past. I have my arsenal of holiday specific clothing I keep on hand
for these very occasions. She is a mom of (based on her kid’s picture) of an 8
year old boy, so I am shocked she doesn’t have these things in order especially
since kids love it when you participate with them. I made sure the boys had
multiple options for green today, and they were pleased. So I guess it begs the
question; am I the crazy one or are all the folks not prepared the crazy ones?
I think my plan right now is when we go to practice, I will
take the dogs and I will walk the park with them. I figure Bobby will be riding
his bike so it will be a good way to get some quick exercise and still kind of
participate with him. Plus, I know the dogs will be happy to get out and about.
I am going to need to hit up Savers soon to look again for
track pants for Dax. The last round I did was more for Bobby’s sake, but now
that Dax is wearing the pants more, having only 3 or 4 pair just isn’t enough.
Sadly, most of Bobby’s are truly too long for even him, so putting them on Dax
just wouldn’t be practical. He likes wearing them to practice, which surprises
me since he is so active you would think shorts would be better. That being
said, he is very fashion conscience, so I think he feels the pants are
classier. I feel that although I have been anticipating a bump in food
consumption from these boys, especially Dax with all his sports. Now I need to
also start setting aside money for their wardrobe. Who knew boys were pricier
than girls?
Check out the cool plush toys I got for their Easter Baskets. Now hopefully they show up on time!
