Thankfully, "W" continues to adjust well into our family...
Here's a brief look at some of the craziness that happened within the first 3 days of last week:
- My husband was on night shift... Which is normally hard... But he had to start work at 6pm, which means I needed to have dinner ready by 5pm.
- My son had two nights of soccer practice... Which started at 5pm...
- "W" had an appointment that kept us two towns away at the moment that my husband needed dinner AND my son needed to be at soccer!
- Knowing the schedule for the coming 2-3 weeks would also be very busy, I was determined to get the house cleaned... I just was hardly home for two days in a row so it was virtually impossible to do...
- I forgot to put dinner in the Crock Pot on that same night, so there was not hot meal for my husband to eat before he left for work.
- The AC unit in our upstairs bonus room stopped working over that weekend, so add a visit from the repair man in to an already crazy day!
- I tried to register "W" at his school and was told that since the school year had technically started the day before, I would need to drive 45 minutes away to register him... I'm still trying to figure out when we can add THAT in to the schedule!
- On the first night my husband didn't have to work, he had a meeting at church that was longer than I expected, which meant he was gone for over 2 hours when we all had seriously not seen him for much more than an hour total over the previous 72 hours.
In the midst of the crazy moments, there were just as many times of wonderful!
- My husband is so low key that not only did he not mind eating a slice of 3 day old pizza and a hot dog leftover from lunch for his dinner when I forgot to make it, BUT he also cleaned our bathroom for me while I took "W" to his appointment! All after working all night and sleeping through the noise we were all trying so hard NOT to make!
- My friend and her husband went out of their way to transport my son BOTH WAYS for one of his soccer practices since both my husband and I were unavailable.
- The bonus room losing AC was the best case scenario since it is an optional room for us.
- My husband sleeps so well on night shift that he didn't hear us trying not to make noise!
- My daughter and her friend made dinner for us on the night I forgot about the Crock Pot... Mac and Cheese and Strawberry Smoothies never tasted SO good!
- We were able to go on a tour of "W's" new school and he seems to be really excited, although I'm still not thrilled about spending 3+ hours getting him enrolled sometime this month.
- "W" was invited to a birthday party of a boy he knows from church and had a wonderful time with his new friend at the pool!
- Our family of 5 was able to spend 2 days at the beach... Thinking we'd cram into a hotel room... But ending up being able to spend the night in a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom house with a pool and hot tub... FOR FREE! It was 15 minutes from the beach and "W" LOVES the ocean! I think we'll go back next summer, maybe even for the week!
- "W" continues to adjust well into our family, bonding well with us all. He is starting to test us some, but it's nothing unexpected or all that bad.
So, last week really had MORE wonderful than it had crazy...
Looking forward to the coming weeks of wonderful and crazy!
