Well....first of all.....there would be no SMALL TALK until we finished reading the latest book to join the Parkinson Home Library - "Little Miss Christmas". I don't believe it either, but Emily found a biography about me at her kindergarten book fair today. Weird that I didn't know about it in advance (or receive a complimentary copy!), but I'm happy to have it nonetheless!
After reading the story.....one or two or three times.....we would get into the OTHER stuff:
* Today was SPORTS DAY for the middle school. Phil was responsible for organizing this event which involved many hours of preparation and great attention to detail. Of course, the day went GREAT and the kids went home happy.....and somehow FULL OF ENERGY.....STILL! Way to go, hun! Your hard work sure did pay off :)
* It's raining. And thundering. And lightning. This is very uncharacteristic of Kuwait, but Phil always says that planning a sports day is the best way to bring on the rain! The rain held out for most of the day, thankfully, and we only lost about 10 minutes off our game schedule. I chose to walk home after school (in an effort to de-sugar!) which many on-lookers found hilarious. Especially when I had to hobble-run in parts as the rain picked up! Whatever - I made it home in record time and not too, too soaked either :)
* On our "free" day off on Sunday we accomplished many things around the house. Phil put up 7 new pictures and a full-length mirror. Tidying up and organizing were also on the agenda (do they ever come off of it?) and in the evening I enjoyed a nice STEAMED MILK outing with some wonderful ladies. Phil stayed home to check sports and get prepped for football :)
* We went to our first doctor's appointment with the new OB/GYN on Saturday afternoon. The hospital was nothing like I expected but we survived meeting #1 and now understand how things work in the place. The doctor asked me to purchase a glucometer to test my blood sugar at random points throughout the day and she's hoping that diet and exercise will suffice! She says that my body wasn't used to too much sugar pre-pregnancy, which is why we might have seen such high numbers after consuming a BAZILLION grams of it in my glucose tolerance tests. We have since tested my blood two times and both times the numbers were PERFECT!!!! Speaking of "perfect" - the doctor used this word to describe Baby P!!!
* Is Bach Can's Whitney the Courtney equivalent? Did Brad not learn from Ben's mistakes? No further comment on this situation. Except for that Brad needs a new wardrobe.
* Tomorrow is our last school day of the week! I vote for three day weeks from here on out. THEY ROCK!
Phil is at basketball practice. The maid is here spic and spanning the flat. And I'm laying here cozy in bed :)
SPOILED & SIGNING OFF!
XOXO
