Friday

We made it to Friday! This week as been an interesting one, but all in all pretty good. I went back to work for the week to finish up some things while Ryan stayed home to play Mr. Mom. We had a bit of a rocky start when I had to postpone my return on Monday because Ryan was sick (and of course I felt guilty because I gave it to him!), but Tues – Fri he was flying solo with the girls. And they loved it! Each day I came home they were happy and smiley. Yesterday Ryan had to do something at the bank so they all went on a field trip. He gave them baths, took them on walks, sang them Bob Marley - all their favorite activities. I’m glad we were able to do it this way because I knew they were in good hands, and Ryan enjoyed his time with them. Of course I missed them during the days, but I have to admit it was kind of nice to go to lunch with my friends and have some adult conversations this week (the girls are good listeners but just don’t seem to get my jokes – and they never talk back). And I’m back on duty next week, but before that we have a fun weekend in store!

My best friend Amanda, is coming in from Colorado and I can’t wait to see her. We met in the 4th grade when our teacher asked her to show the new kid around school. You guessed it – I was that new kid. She later admitted that she didn’t want to do it, but being the generous sweet girl she was (and still is) she did it anyway and twenty years later we’re still friends. In fact, we got Molly’s middle name from Amanda (she’s Amanda Caroline). So I head off to the airport to fetch her pretty soon. I can't wait!
