Damn – lost my entry again. I just entered the entire thing and the system glitched! That makes me crazy. Here is the short run down:
- Mom was up at 1:30, 3:30 and 7 last night – rough night.
- The kids slept until 8.
- I took Micah to swim class at 11.
- While I was out, Wendy, Schwuing, Ruby and Pat (Mom’s co-workers) came to visit. Ruby brought couscous (thank goodness – my Mom has been talking about it all week). They also brought beet salad and a fruit basket. Thanks!
- She had polished off 2 bowls of couscous by the time I got home.
- Micah sat at the table and joined them for lunch.
- Diane and Joey arrived as they were leaving – they brought a defrosted kugel and a babka.
- Steven and Gail arrived next for a visit.
- Mom did really well with the stream of visitors.
- Micah and Maya were napping, and Mom went back for her nap a little after 3.
- I took a brief nap around 3:30 while waiting for Sharon and Eddie to arrive, and Dad went to the store.
- Sharon and Eddie did arrive…and ended up walking through the house while all of us slept!! They left a babka with a note for us…we felt terrible that we missed their visit. We do need to start keeping our door locked, though.
- We had dinner at 6 – mostly leftovers. Dinner conversation sounded like this: Can I have some of Ruby’s couscous? You have a bowl in front of you. Oh. Can I have ice cream? After dinner, Mom. Okay. Can I have more couscous? Sure. Do I have more couscous? Yes – right in front of you. How about that ice cream? Mom, the rest of us are still eating and there are meat dishes on the table – can you wait until we’re done with the meal to eat the ice cream. Sure. Can I have ice cream? Mom – remember, we have to wait until the end of the meal and I promise, you’ll get ice cream. Right. Can I have couscous?
- Sharon and Eddie called to say they were still in the area, so we rounded out our night with a visit from them.
- At 8, Mom headed back to her room, and we had a meeting with the architect.
- We finally selected a contractor for our renovation – we hope to sign the contract tomorrow.
- Mom has been up all night not feeling well…headache and nausea. We’re a bit worried about her. Not sure if this is brain swelling, or eating too much, or the change in medications, but it isn’t a good night here
- Maya just woke up at 4:30…she is screaming, too.
- Elliot forgot to give Micah his reflux medication – so I suspect he’ll be up screaming in the next hour, too.
Fun night in the Brodey-Harkavy household.
