This week has been so long and crazy. Don left Monday morning for Oregon again. He came home last night (Wed.) about 930pm. I have been thinking about his trip this spring when he has to go to Oregon for 6 months. Its going to be a really long trip. When he is gone, I have a hard time sleeping. So Monday night I think I went to bed around 1am and got up at 5 to get Emily to the bus. Tuesday night I was in bed at 7pm, completely exhausted but could not fall asleep. I tossed and turned, watched some tv and I think I fell asleep around midnight. Wed. morning I was so tired. I took all the kids to the bus and came home and took a nap. I slept till 11:30. The kids get really grouchy when Don's gone too. I don't think they sleep really well either. I am so glad he is back and as of right now will not have to go back until Jan. but, as we all know that could change any minute.
Well today was Emily's first field trip with school. Her class went to the Phx zoo. I went as a chaperone, we left the school at 9am and returned to school at 1:30pm. Let me tell you how long today was.We had a great time till lunch time. The class was broken up into groups of 2 kids per adult. Not a bad ratio, My group the pink group ( how fitting for us) joined up with two other groups of Emily's classmates. There was Dillon, Leland, Alex and Jack. Ava was in our group. The six kids did everything together. Lunch time they were playing on the playground around a creek and guess who slips??? Of course my child, well she managed to stay dry but ended up twisting her ankle. So that put a big damper in our day. I spent the rest of the day giving her a piggy back ride around the zoo. Once we got back to school I went ahead and took Emily out of school and brought her home to rest. Right now she is laying in bed with an ice pack and we will wait to see what Don thinks tonight when he gets home, if we need to go to Urgent Care and have it looked at. Its pretty swollen and starting to turn purple, so we will see how the night goes.
Once we got home, we had a package at the front door. Don and I have been waiting all week for our new camera. We are so excited. I have wanted a new camera for a year now, but Don is so picky. Anyway I get Emily on the couch with an icepack and open the box hoping its is our new camera. I open the box and inside it is another box crushed and ripped and wet. My heart just sinks. I grab Emily off the couch and throw her in the car grab the box and run over to Radio Shack, where we bought the camera online from. I walk into the store and ask to speak to the manager, who is not availalbe. I had the man take the box and ask him to open it for me. Telling him I just received this and could not open the box any further and wanted him to open it. He opens the big box and is shocked. He gives me a camera off the shelf and tells me he will take it up with Fed Ex. They should of never of shipped this to me. It should of gone back to the store.
Well not my problem any more. I have my new camera and will wait for Don to get home from work to play with it first. He will be so excited.
Tomorrow we are finally getting back our sleep study results from Emily's test. I hope that they find something that they can fix. She is still sleeping 14 hours aday. We are trying very hard to keep her awake when she gets home from school, but that just makes her cranky and me stressed out with her crying. Maybe I should just let her sleep. I am afraid that if she sleeps at 3pm she will wake up at 10 and not want to go back to bed. So far this has not happened, and when she goes to sleep what ever time that is, she will sleep till morning.
I have included a few pictures of the zoo today, but did not take any after lunch due to the 32lb monkey that I carried around all day. These are also the first pictures of Emily's new haircut. Its been two weeks since we cut her hair off. She had 8 inches cut and she is loving it. She thinks she looks like tinkerbell now. Michael is going to the Tempe Art Festival tomorrow on a school field trip with his art class, and another one next week for a 4 day weekend trip to Prescott for a leadership camp. It sounds like they will have fun if they don't freeze.
