My last day to “sleep in” – as if sleeping has been an issue.  I missed all of work last week, but am  heading back tomorrow.   It should be interesting, considering the most I’ve done was meet with my client Friday night – sitting on the floor and talking for an hour, and that wore me out.  I was up several times throughout the early morning, but got up around 8 thirtyish and…made my first morning pot of coffee.  I have missed this.

I let Ethan know that once his movie was over, to come on in and we’d get back to homework.  I read text, had him read text – we talked about the topic.  It is tough for him, having a whole week of work to do and having to divide it up himself.  I suggested I pass on my whiteboard and I will write down what he needs to do through the week.  I think having it all down will make it easier for him to distinguish.  He worked well.

My sister called on FaceTime and that precious little Ingrid was there, telling me about her “Little Baby Brudder.”  WHY do we live so far apart?!?!  We had a beautiful, nonsensical conversation and then, after farewells, Ingrid secretly made another phone call to me while Olivia went to give Abney to hubby so she could leave with Ingrid to go to the store.  This is what I love…already coaxing my niece to sneak things from my sister. Awww mannn…we’re gonna have the raddest relationship!

Ethan went outside to go ride his bike and film himself with my camera and I stayed in bed.  After a while, I called out the front door, then went out back to call over the fence (we have a sharp drop-off which overlooks the area Ethan was riding).  I don’t know if it’s my lack of doing anything for a week or what, but I tripped over my own damn feet.  Work will be quite interesting tomorrow.

Later, Ethan and I watched more Nature: Saving Otter 501 as Mags was dropped off.  She hadn’t eaten and I wanted to grab something at the store for Swerner, so we went to Raley’s quickly.  The dizzy factor was pretty.damn.awesome.   We finished watching the show, then Mags went her ways and Ethan took a shower with Annie, since he hadn’t given her a bath earlier.  I just smile and wave.

Picture:  A sneak phone call from this angelic one today.   She makes me proud.
