Wednesday: closet

I started cleaning the closet shelves today.  Turns out none of my belts fit me anymore...by quite a bit.  I'll blame pregnancy changes.

I had a dentist filling today and it took all of about 11 minutes.  I had plenty of (boring) things to do at home and was rather excited to get to them and start crossing them off.

Oh!  Good news!  The tooth fairy finally decided to come visit Isaac.  He lost his tooth about two weeks ago and about once a week he calmly tells me the tooth fairy hasn't come and I comment on how bad she is at her job.  She finally decided to come in the middle of the day because she felt a little bad.

Monday: stuff

I got a lot done today and it felt good.  A ton of little stuff.  I started cleaning out my closet.  I got rid of many T-shirts and a few long sleeves.  Really, it was less than I was expecting but I also don't need to completely empty the closets, I just need to get rid of stuff I know I won't wear again.

Wednesday I have several errands out of the house and then spring break starts Friday, so there might not be as many to-do items getting done.  That's ok though...we'll have lots of fun.  

Sunday: pretty normal

It was a pretty normal day: church, lunch, nap, Legos, screen time.  

My back/head/neck are starting to feel better.  They were ok but warm and weird the last two days, but I didn't have any complaints today.

So yeah.  This was a boring post.

Let's talk about the skid marks we saw on the neighborhood road the other day.  They were some well defined marks that continued into (or came out of) a lawn.  The grass was brown and dead, normal for this time of year, but the skid marks were so well defined in the lawn that it didn't just seem like dirt that was churned up.  Although I'm just looking at it from inside a car because it's cold so I might not be the best judge.  I'm sure I'll never hear what happened, but I'm intrigued.

Saturday: about Friday

There was no snow day, although Ben thought it should have been when he dropped off the kids.

I had my PT appointment and she ended up spending the whole time on my upper back and upper neck.  She said I was all messed up and it wasn't a surprise that I had a headache.  We didn't even get through any normal exercises.  I'm sure it helped, but yesterday and today I still felt a bit off.

Joshua made a little bed in the basement and was excited when Tornado curled up on it for a bit.

 

Thursday: snow day?

We're getting some snow tomorrow, which could slow down the morning commute.  We have only used three of our snow days so far this year.  Will we have a snow day?

One calculator currently says 12%.
One calculator says 99%, although this is wrong.
One calculator says 47%.
The meteorologist says "moderate chance".

My guess is yes, but at the same time wouldn't be surprised if it's a no either, especially if the storm starts later than expected or moves north.

Wednesday: dresser

Today I cleaned out our dresser.  

So. Many. Socks.

I had a lot of socks.  Ben had a ton of socks.  We still have a lot of socks, but we both have less now.  Ben probably doesn't need the old socks from two cycles ago "just in case."  In fact, it turns out he doesn't even need last cycle's socks because he had three pairs of new looking socks that will work for backup.

I didn't think I'd end up getting rid of this much - 2 bags for recycle and 2 bags for donation.  But we definitely don't need clothing with crunchy elastic anymore.  (I did make several decisions for Ben based on what he doesn't wear, but I also left him a few choices on things I wasn't sure about.)

It was pinewood derby tonight.  Joshua was going for the Turtle award with a car named "Turtle."  He was the slowest of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, but there was a younger boy who managed to beat him before we were closely watching the times.  He was disappointed, but seemed to bounce back pretty quickly.  His car did look so slow though!  For his first run, he was in the middle and the other two cars finished while he still had a quarter of the track to go.

Monday: headache

I went to the doctor today for the headaches.  In the end, she didn't think it was very worrisome.  I can take a bit more medicine than I have been and recommended physical therapy.  It was a bit weird - it seemed like the PT would need a doctor's note in order to work on my neck.  I'm not sure I understood correctly though.  The doctor's office did know about my PT though, and said she had a good reputation.
