Tired....it's been a long day. Thankful for this cup of tea. Drinking this and then heading to bed to relax with my magazine before sleep.....blissful sleep.
Susannah had her surgery this evening. It went ok. It was difficult to watch her in so much pain and discomfort, but I held her hand for the worst part while she had the injections, and I tried to chat with the Dr for her so she wouldn't feel too uncomfortable...and he kept trying to make her laugh which she wasn't keen on....he put music on though which helped her!!
Susies dad brought her a present which was nice - we kind of know that he only did that out of guilt for reading about the surgery on here last night or this morning....sigh....we're not stupid - and I can see who and when reads my blog from my tracker!! But still, she was pleased..and while he may not be paying to feed his children or give them heating for the winter like a decent Father would, she did like the perfume he gave her...because, you know - that's going to keep a roof over her head come Spring.....what a pratt he is lmao!!!
Unfortunately the anaesthetic wore off very quickly and the surgery took too long, so we didn't make it to the movies tonight to see Breaking dawn.....maybe tomorrow. The Doctor suggested she have soft food - something like a Blizzard....so we stopped off with Laurence and had something to eat....
Apart from this evening, today was a busy day with homeschooling. Abigail and I are taking a Mother-Daughter online class. Today we had to prepare some interview questions for each other that we have to take with us when we go out for a meal together - we have to ask the questions over the meal and have to remember the answers for later in the course when we have to use them to prepare some art pieces and written journal pieces in the books we are creating for each other.
It's a lovely class and we have several videos to watch each week together and various assignments/ written work/ journaling/ artwork etc etc....
Sam built a log cabin today using a big bag of corks. He proved me wrong as I didn't think they would glue together and stay stuck!! He did a great job and even had a wood pile beside it, a fire pit with chairs around it and a door frame....next he is making a car!!!
Abby added Minecraft to my iphone and Sam added a winter zoo and Christmas zoo game to my phone and created new zoo's and he also played Lego Creationary and used the Lego Instructions app on my phone to build a car frame and he made a surfer dude from the Creationary game....
Then this afternoon they made sugar cookies and decorated them using a snowman cookie decorating kit I bought a few weeks ago!! They did a great job and they were DELICIOUS!!
I got quite a bit of work done - dealt with a lot of new clients/ students and updated my business books/ papers. Figured out my banking/ bills and budget for December....planned a great deal of project work and figured out a few new class ideas. Spoke with several clients and answered questions regarding upcoming schedules.
Oh and I've also volunteered to go in and speak to my friends class in January for an hour or so (hmmm social work students???) about parenting a child with special needs. Which reminds me that I also owe an Email about PANDAS and it's treatments....wah!!!! I need more hours in my day!!!!!
Oh and I surfed online for some good links to help Abby with her story writing and came across the idea above which I thought was a good one...so I'm going to try something similar with Abby...
All in all a great day but BUSY. Now I am tired out and exhausted....I think the children want to go swimming tomorrow. I was hoping to put them off until Thursday but they just came downstairs and asked if we were still going - so it seems they have remembered...sigh....better get some sleep so I have the energy to hit the pool!!!
Oh and if you are in England, my cousin Lynn is on the Good Morning show tomorrow (Wednesday) as she had an extreme makeover last week!!!
Yay Lynn!!! xxx Love you lots xxx Congratulations xxx
