Lunar
Eclipse was fun to watch. We pulled out our telescope and looked at the
moon as it went into the eclipse.
We laid on the floor as a family and
watched the moon go through its cycle. It was magical.
Earlier in the
evening we hosted an evening with our trek group. Getting to know these
young people and to see their personalities is fun. Grateful for how
kind they were to Underfoot and Hurricane.
The
boys had 2 days off of school - one for Martin Luther King Day and one
for a blizzard. One day we got appointments done for allergy shots,
establishing care for chiropractics for the boys, and cello lesson.
The
next day we bummed it by playing together, getting laundry done, and
being together. Sweetheart went to work. We are grateful for his sacrifice of
working. He went in late the morning of the snow storm but stayed late.
I hosted a Women's Clothing Exchange. Many women shared clothing, and
some ladies got some new clothing. It happened during the snow storm.
The
boys went back to school and had Battle of the Books practice after
school. We swam laps after the practice. The laps made a difference for
all 3 of us. We came home in time for piano lessons.
I've
been doing a bunch of meal planning to help the boys learn how to cook
their meals and the efforts that goes into getting food ready for our
family. I've been making a recipe book of the meals.
Friday
as a family we were going to go and get flu shots as our Friday night
activity. Sweetheart came home, and I had a really awful pain in my back on
the right side. As the evening progressed, it got worse. We went to the
Urgent Care. After poking and prodding, he said it could be a kidney
stone, an exploded ovarian cyst, an enlarged appendix, an ectopic
pregnancy, or something else. They referred us to Emergency Room. This was not the exact date night we hoped. The
boys went to a friends' house. Sweetheart and I headed to ER. More tests (CT
Scan and ultrasound), blood drawn, and pain medication given.
After 5.5
hours, we left with the knowledge of a best educated guess of a kidney
stone since they didn't see it on the CT Scan or ultrasound.
Saturday
we bailed on our plans to let me heal but did get flu shots. In the
evening the boys went and played Dominion with friends. I drank and
drank and drank.
Be Well.
