How the Days Go By.

Yesterday was one of those days where if I didn't laugh, I would have been crying.

From rushing out the door {between phone calls with my editor and the fix-it man coming to fix our water heater} to get to H's last t-ball, to finding out in the parking lot that he didn't have shoes on {New Rule: don't get in the vehicle without shoes on!} to rushing home to get said shoes to getting back to t-ball later than we started. To Miss E not being as successful as I hoped in her underwear and walking across the outfield pants-less.

To getting to H's eye appointment and hearing them say "We called you 15 minutes ago to tell you his appointment is cancelled!" {No worries, it all worked out. He had his appointment.}

To coordinating a sleepover for M and then coordinating T's plans with friends. Cancelling plans later this week because I'm feeling stretched too thin and realizing I need a day. Or even an hour.

And finally, after several days with no hot water, taking a hot shower.

{Consider the above the cliffs notes version of our day.}

Life is funny, isn't it?

An abridged update of our week, so far:

H's eye doctor is so happy with the way his vision and his weak eye has progressed. She believes that by his next appointment he will no longer need to patch his strong eye at all and that if all goes as well as it is now, he'll be completely out of glasses by age 7.

I'm enrolling E in a Montessori school tonight. She's going to go two afternoons a week while T and M and H! are all at school. This is a really good thing for her and for me. I hope?

Oh and in big events, today is J's birthday. #38! We're celebrating tonight.
