today

 

 

woke up to spanish music blaring on the alarm clock

woke scott up barking at him to hit the snooze

rolled over and snuggled with sweet baby huck

took an elbow to the nose from a not so sweet preschooler

dropped gavin and tommy at the bus stop

made small talk with the man who leases out his front yard as the neighborhood bus stop

found out that the man has no choice and really doesn’t care for kids

dropped petey and huck off at miss tammie’s

dropped my cell phone

drove finn to vpk

finn drove me up to wall with his constant chatter

took advantage of a bit of extra time before work

took advantage of clearance rack at walgreens

bought creamed corn for 64 cents

bought cody rhodes wrestling figure for gavin for 2.74

knew cody rhodes would cause feelings of jealousy amongst the boys

bought three clearanced foam airplanes for the other brothers

bought a halloween edition nestles crunch

arrived for work at the hospital

same hospital where 6 short weeks ago huck was delivered

reported to the bat cave for duty

waited 4 hours for the bat phone to ring

made an appointment at employee health for stupid sinus infection

leaked

pumped

was saved by a co-worker when some tech boys attempted to enter my makeshift pumping room while i was pumping

apologized to tech boys for not picking a room with a door to pump in

marveled at the fact that the bat cave has about 27 rooms and i pump in the only room without a real door

washed pump parts at a sink that clearly stated it was out of order

went to the cafeteria

ate a fish sandwich with cheese

assisted labor and delivery with a technical issue

resolved technical issue and

ran into the nurse that delivered huck

ran into the director that offered me a job during my labor

walked past 3311, the room where huck was delivered

visited the nicu

thought of huck

leaked

obtained nine new pacifiers from the nicu to replace the nine pacifiers that auggie has eaten

returned to bat cave

signed in at employee health

took employee health lady’s coupons

realized that i had made appointment at the wrong campus

begged employee health lady to squeeze me in anyway

was dumbfounded when asked to state the date of my last period

got prescription for antibiotics

got prescription for claritin

picked up gavin from violin

presented cody rhodes

made him promise not to tell his brothers about cody rhodes

told him to hide cody rhodes in his backpack

fought traffic all the way to miss tammie’s

reminded gavin to keep cody rhodes hidden

picked up rest of boys

was disappointed to find out that cody rhodes made an appearance before we left miss tammie’s driveway

pulled over less that a block from miss tammie’s to settle a fight over cody rhodes

fought traffic all the way home

realized i failed to pick up my prescriptions

nursed huck

did some math calulations

marvalled at the fact that for the past two days, huck has drank exactly, to the mililiter, the amount of milk i’ve pumped each day

burped huck

cursed my sinus pain

cursed cody rhodes

cursed my underwire bra

cursed my super frugal ways

acknowledged that i should have coughed up the money ten years ago to buy a nursing bra, i most certainly would have gotten my money’s worth

waited for scott to get home

went to the grocery store for soda and beer

walked though a monsoon in the parking lot

bought ten pounds of ground beef

bought 1 bottle of balsamic vinegar

forgot to buy soda and beer

was recognized by three of the store employees as “the coupon lady”, “the coupon girl”, and the “macaroni and cheese family”

used coupons acquired at employee health

loaded my groceries in the rain

drove home through a flash flood

patiently received my political update for the day

nodded appropriately

liked Catholics for romney on facebook in exchange for scott unloading my groceries in the rain

nursed huck

burped huck

questioned my decision of making my political views known on facebook

decided not to ever post anything political again on facebook

posted something slightly political to test the waters

giggled as auggie humped my mother in law’s left ankle

cringed as auggie humped my left ankle

smiled when scott teared up while watching undercover boss

smiled when finn finally fell asleep on my lap still arguing with me with his eyes closed

did not smile as petey appeared from the kitchen holding an assortment of donuts that he had taken bites of

contemplated what to feed the boys tomorrow morning now that their donuts are gone

had a bite of petey’s donut to help me think

sat down to blog

sat down on a fork

watched scott sweep as i fought a bit of writer’s block

fought back a smile as i watched auggie hump scott’s broom

started yawning

fought heavy eyelids while

stared at the spell check button

never hit it

realized that the photo i started with was not what i ended up blogging about

decided to add another completely unrelated photo to the end of the blog to even things out

hit the post button
