Tuesday, January 6th - 3 Good Things

Today was a good day, even though I was tired as all get out. Here's why:

1. The boys each had a growth check doctor's appointment today - Carter for his 3 years and Grayson for his 2 months. I got myself showered and ready and got two kids ready and out the door, by myself, and made it to that doctor's appointment on freaking time. HELLS TO THE YES.

2. My little men are are growing and healthy and nothing else really matters. Carter weighs 31 pounds, which puts him in the 51st percentile, and is 38 inches tall, which puts him in the 52nd percentile. Grayson is 12.89 pounds which puts him in the 51st percentile and is 23.5 inches -- and I can't remember what percentile that was. It was a good appointment though, and - as I said - I'm happy that they are happy and healthy :)

3. My parents took off on a jet plane this morning. They are headed to a month-long trip to Australia and New Zealand. I am not in any way looking forward to them being gone. I get separation anxiety and a month is an awfully long time for my anxious ass. This is not a good thing, but the fact that I survived my first day without them is. One day at a time people.

4. I had to add a fourth, cause she's always worth it: my cousin Nicole (Carter calls her Nin) is staying at my parents' house with her boyfriend. They are keeping the house occupied and watching the dogs. I just appreciate that Nic is always on the ready to help people out when she can. Also - she came over to my house tonight to visit the kids cause we haven't seen her since Christmas, which is a long stretch for us to go without seeing each other. I missed her and loved hearing about her school plans for the spring/summer.

5. And a fifth - It feels like Monday and I just realized that it's actually Tuesday. This puts me one day closer to the weekend and having Jeff at home for two days. And sleep. I'll get more sleep.

Okay, I'm going to eat approximately six Swedish Berries and then I'm off to bed. See you all tomorrow!
