Summer Vacation, Days 68 ~ 72

Days 68 ~ 72

Monday, July 27

LM was up at 6.18 AM! Ai-yai-yai! I was definitely dragging by bedtime!

Jim & BK were at the farm in the morning. LM had tutoring from 2-3.30, while Jim had PT.  Then she stayed at Grandpa & Grandma's, while I went to a hair appointment and BK was with friends at the pool. Whew!

Tuesday, July 28

The children slept in. LM spent the afternoon with her aunt, while I took BK to the hearing clinic (70 miles away) for his annual hearing test. 

Wednesday, July 29

The children and I left at 9 to pick up snacks and then a friend and head to the Lincoln Museum & Lincoln Home. LM earned another Junior Ranger badge, and asked what happens when you earn ALL of them?! :) She has goals!

Home at 3.30. LM had tutoring 4-5. The friend's mom picked him up at 5.30. Jim took BK to Youth group. LM & I finished reading the next Boxcar Children book.

Thursday, July 30

LM came in our room at 4.15 AM. I exclaimed, "It's 4:00 in the morning!" And she excitedly asked, "It's morning?!?" She came back in at 5.15 and I sent her back to bed.  Whew! And then she slept til almost 10!

Somehow we made it to lunchtime. After lunch, LM & I visited the grandparents & then went to her orthodontist appointment, and to ALDI & Walmart and the pharmacy. 

Friday, July 31

I went to bed shortly after 8 PM, and got a great night's sleep! And had a VERY productive morning with chores in the kitchen (in part motivated by ANTS!), two loads of laundry, filling a month's worth of pill bottles, charging my Kindle & Fitbit, and in general crossing items off my to-do list.  Jim & BK finished some yardwork.  And then I spent a few hours on the phone with insurance & specialty pharmacies. That was just as fun as it sounds! 

After lunch, LM & I made the rounds of the post office, pharmacy, and library. 

At 5, we went to our small group's annual summer cookout. Yum!
