Monday afternoon
Scanning success - I finished scanning the Cars Reading workbook; I am 25% finished scanning Disney Grade 1 Addition & Subtraction. After this I'll be going for another math workbook of some sort.
Kids have had B & L, and I've had a hot dog. I've got an appetite now, so I should jump on the chance to eat; should I eat the chick peas or cheese ravioli? Good taste vs. higher calorie. We have a winner - leftover french fries & cheese ravioli.
I am getting excited for Thursday's doctor's appointment. I am eager to find out if I am dilated or effaced; I'm eager to know if the baby is head down yet. I am curious to see if I have gained several pounds, because I have been eating pretty well; also, I am curious to see if I am still measuring big.
We just got back from running errands. We were halfway to the library before J informed me he left one of the due books at home; we didn't have enough gas to get back home and then to the library. Instead we finished reading Are You My Mother? and took back the books we had with us.
Next the kids begged to go to the track - yes, the walking track. 4 laps is a mile, and they said they wanted to do 5 laps. T always runs twice as fast for three times as long as me and J. He and I made it about a lap and a half, while T went at least 2 and a half laps before we could stop her. When we left I noticed copious amounts of peanut shells on the sidewalk, so I told J to go a different way - he did. Unfortunately, the one tiny speck of peanut shell that was on the path he took ended up under his hand. Luckily I saw it happen and we rinsed it off immediately with water. Then I hit it with a disinfecting wipe - really burning the eczema. He was worried the whole way home about it...he ran in the house and we scrubbed and scrubbed it with soap - especially under his nails. I also covered his hand in Vaseline and put his glove on; I doubt any residual peanut protein can get through all that into his nose or mouth. I do plan on giving him his antihistamine before dinner to stop his itching and combat any reactive issues in his body.
The twins are really getting into Star Wars because of their video game. Right now they are watching the pod race scene in The Phantom Menace; I think it is SO cool that J can read most of the subtitles!
I'm planning on getting these kids fed and in bed before 8, so I can get a shower by 8:30. Hubby doesn't know what time he gets off work, so I'd like to be out of the shower by 8:30 just in case. I do want to finish scanning the current workbook, and I want to move all those scans to my computer (currently on the kids machine). I also need to sort those scans by workbook and rename them.
