So here it goes again, getting out of the habit of posting. So let’s see..since I last wrote. I spoke to the friend and we’re still friends and he wasn’t totally accepting of my ideas but didn’t reject it either. So besides that, let’s see. I went to the gym Wednesday. Hurt until Saturday.
Thursday the girls went to the 2 and 4 year old checkup. Emma was 90% in height 42″, 75% in weight 37 lbs. Lexi was 85% in height 37″?, 70% in weight 30lbs. Both were healthy. He was impressed with the progress Lexi had made in her speech. I requested a hearing test for Emma and she passed. Scott said it was cute because she didn’t want to raise her hand anymore when she heard the beeping so she just told her to tell her when she heard something. Scott said the next time Emma said, “I hear something” in that little shy voice of hers. She’s so cute. So both had shots. Emma had to get 3 in her arm. Poor thing. She was a trooper and just sobbed into my shoulder. Lexi howled at the one she got in her leg. Emma had a bright red face and warm temperature by the end of the day but besides that handled them fine.
Friday night the girls went with his sister to his mom’s house and I cleaned after Scott went to work. I took an hour break to go out with the youth to do their “taking it to the streets” deal. It ended up being really quiet I think because the high school had a play going on.
I stayed up to watch One Night with the King. It was a decent movie. Good to see the story of Queen Esther on the screen. The Bible always comes to life and I can always understand it more when it is acted out like that. And at one point I actually cried thinking of the courage Esther had to approach the King when she knew it may cause her death and she did it for purely unselfish reasons. And I liked the chemistry between Xerxes and Esther. It was interesting how they brought out it more like a love story than I thought I had read. Anyway, it was worth seeing.
So Saturday we didn’t wake up until 11. That was nice. And then ILs came by and we all went to lunch. Not really what I had planned, but it was ok. Scott left for work and both girls took a nap when we got back. Heather and I watched The Departed. Horrible language but great movie. Really good. I see why it was Oscar-worthy. Saturday night we went to Mom’s and had dinner. And then Sunday we went to church and then spent the rest of the day meeting with the youth council. The girls stayed between our parents houses while we were gone. Which I hated since today I am at work all day. I feel like I haven’t seen them much. But they are at school right now anyway.
So I will be meeting a coworker today that I’ve worked with for several months but have never met. He is Russian and says the craziest things. He is hilarious. I think people are prepared to see money at our meeting just to see what he may do or say. And we’re all going out for dinner after work so I will be home late tonight. I feel like I need to take the day off and just do stuff with the girls. I mean, I’m home but never really doing much with them. Sometimes I take moments to read to them or paint with Emma or play play-doh or swing them. But all in all, my attention is on my work. And then in the evenings, family plans or church plans seem to take precedence. I guess it all works out but I just have to get out my frustration.
