Once again, 3c man abandoned his post.
I wonder if he will stop by in a few hours or not (he did last week).
I also wonder how to garner a few more comments than I managed last week. It was among my lower-commented community diaries ever :-(.
So join me for some photos and links, and share what you're doing home on a Satuday night.
Sometimes it feels like I don't do very much right - I get lost in the cycle of dishes and laundry and picking kids up and stuff. And I slip up here and there and spend too much time thinking about it.
Lately, I had the opportunity to notice a few things I did right, and thought I would share them, and see if you-all would be willing to share a few things you did right too.
A. We are traveling to Germany and Scotland this summer, all for husband's work. I am already aware that our passports are issued at 3 different dates, but I couldn't remember which dates or a pattern.
So I emailed husband that we should check. And he said it wasn't important. So I bugged him.
- I won - he checked.
- HIS EXPIRES - IN MARCH!! So he needs to send in his renewal in soon!
B. A few weeks ago, I prepared for bed on a Sunday evening. Husband was out of town and the kids were in bed so I had a little extra time. I noticed a tiny spot of athlete's foot between a couple toes, so I dabbed on some Lotrimin, tossed on a clean white cotton sock, and went to bed.
The next morning, my toes were swollen, and all morning I watched it get worse. By noon it looked like this:
I asked in the pootie diary about a doctor visit, and made an appointment for later that afternoon. The red streaks are a good tip to see a doctor ASAP. And the speed of the germ was scary.
The antibiotic was slow to work, and I went back for a checkup on day 5, but my foot finally finished healing, and the germs never got into my bloodstream.
C. I bought a santa hat for our cat, Pecos the Wonder Kitteh, so I could take silly pet pictures:
D. I'm also really good at planning for and packing for trips. And finding interesting things to do with the kids while husband is working. I am excellent at prescription refills, and coordinating them with travel plans.
I take lots of pictures of my family's activities:
(i usually don't remember to take pix at dinner parties i host, and i want to work on that).
E. And I taught my kids to have a sense of humor. Although living with kids without that sense might be not fun.
So, what are you doing home? And what have you done right?
