I had 5 children spending the night last night. My friend's 4 children that I was watching and a neighbor friend of the youngest girl, so I had 5. It wasn't too bad. They are good kids over all. I was just awake every hour for some reason. I don't know why except I was. I had a lot of pain for some reason. Who knows? Anyways, yesterday the 4 children and I had some fun. We went to Erma's for some frozen custard and then Chipotle's for dinner. We had Tim Horton's for breakfast today. All in all, it has been a good couple of days. They go home tonight.
I miss Peony, she is on vacation with the rest of the family. I miss my dog! I miss them too, but I miss the dog. She is such a good little companion. I love her so much. I will confess that it was nice not to have to get up early to take her out but I would rather have to get up and take her out than not have her here. She is having a good time with the family from what the videos show. Peony barked at Lake Michigan when the water would come in. I had to laugh. Our poor little dog didn't know what to do with the water so she barked. Apparently, she is not going to be a water dog. Peony also did get out twice but Q brought her back into the cabin so she didn't get lost. Thank goodness she loves Q and wants to be with him all the time. It is so beautiful to see them play together. It really is.
Calli is home now and now comes the hard work for her. She has lots of therapies ahead of her. I know she will do great though because she is a strong girl and a strong spirit. We try to give her a strong support system too. Acer is at camp and will be home soon. I sure hope he is having a grand old time. I am sure he is.
I have a medium bad headache today and I am so achy as well as being tired. I am more tired than usual, I think because I was up every hour last night. I want to go and see my friend in her show but I am afraid I won't be able to make it because of my headache. It hurts to even brush my hair. I tried to take a nap but I couldn't really sleep at that point. I am going to read in a while.
I got my new contacts this week. I also finally got my eyes dilated. I now see an eye specialist because I have macular degeneration in both eyes. Yes, I am in my mid 40s and I have a 60 year old and up eye disease. Anyways, I now can read street signs and things such as that. I still don't like to drive too much at night. I really don't drive very much at night and usually it is to someplace I already know not a new place. For reading though, I actually have to wear reading glasses. Yes, over my contacts I have to wear reading glasses. yuck. It is better than not being able to see but still. I am not sure if the ones I have are the right prescription though. I will have to check on that. I think they are but I am not sure. I have to get new glasses too, bifocals. Those I will get next month. I have to order new contacts first because they are 2 week throw aways.
It is quiet now with 2 of the older children with their dad and the 2 smaller children playing with the neighbor children. I don't mind. There is some picking up that needs to be done, but other than that, everything is ready for them to head for home. Their mom is on her way. She is such a nice woman. We get along really well. About once or so a month I watch her children overnight so she can go and visit some friends who live farther away. I don't mind. They are good kids. This month, they came here because I said they could spend the night but it didn't happen before Calli came home so with the family on vacation, it was perfect for them to come and have a special day and night here. Next month will be at their house without treats. This was something special. I can hear the 2 younger ones playing in the front yard with the neighbor kids. It will be awfully quiet when they go home but I will be able to get a good nap in that I need very much. Everyone comes home tomorrow, thankfully! I can't wait to hug everyone and Peony! I never realized how much company she was until Thursday when she was gone a full day. She really is good company. I love playing with her. She is 9 months now. We think she has gone about an inch. She still is about 10 pounds though. I am very careful with what I feed her because people food doesn't go good with her at all. Peony has a very sensitive stomach. If you give her people food, she will throw it up later, I can guarantee it. Tuesday, she got into the chocolate chip cookies that Heather BT left on her bed and Wednesday she threw it all up. It always is the next day she throws up too, rarely on that day. I can't believe I can calmly clean it up too because that used to gross me out like nothing! But I just calmly get some towels and the carpet cleaner and clean it up. Then I take her and rub her tummy and pet her so she feels okay. Usually, Peony is very tired after that. I miss that little doggie.
Well, I am going to read for a bit. I don't know what book I want to read, but I will pick something. The new Danielle Steel book doesn't come out until July 22. I like hers mostly. They are good, fun chick lit. Some are better than others but overall they are decent. It isn't hard reading or reading that requires a lot of thinking and sometimes that is exactly what I need like right now for example. So off to reading. (Yes, with the reading glasses on)
