The last few weeks with the kids have involved the usual craziness. Last week, I worked quite a few more hours than normal but although I was scheduled to work on a Saturday night, Jana and Christian decided to stay home so I ended up with the night off. About a week or two ago, I was in charge of taking Jaime to the doctor. He had stitches in one of his fingers because that weekend he had cut it on a mixing blade. Probably trying to lick off whatever was being mixed. I am just glad that he did not do it when I was there because I get very nauseous around too much blood. Anyways, my job was to take him to the doctor for the removal of the stitches. I have to admit I was a little nervous because, as I said, I get have been known to get pretty sick when it comes to things like that. I was really hoping I wouldn't faint in front of the three kids while watching the stitches being pulled out and I'm happy to say that I did not.
However, the whole situation leading up to the actual arrival at the doctor's office was enough to make me feel sick. As usual, the kids and I finished lunch and I had to get them all ready to go. Sanja was taking forever to put on her jacket and shoes so I was helping her when Nick asked me for the key to unlock the car. I gave it to him and finished up with Sanja. Upon approaching the car however, Nick let me know that he dropped the key somewhere on the ground right outside the door of the van. Ok, well shouldn't be that hard to find then, right? WRONG! The kids and I searched under the car, around the car, in the car, all around the house and driveway, and no key to be found. I asked Nick if he was sure that he had dropped the key right around here. He assured me that he dropped it right outside the door and showed me the spot. Well, no key was to be found. By this time we were ten minutes behind. I started freaking out a little because this was the only key I had to the car and Jaime had to get to his appointment. I was just about to give up and make the call of shame to Jana, when I picked up Nick's hat that was lying on the seat of the car. And what do you know? Out fell the stupid key. Eventually we made it to the doctor's office just a few minutes late.
Last week, I returned from Vienna with some presents my mom had sent with Abbi for my kids. This included these 3D puzzles for each of them, a Muppets movie, and a princess tiara and chapstick for Sanja. They were super excited and Sanja and Jaime wanted to do their puzzles right away. Hers was a butterfly and his was a tiger. I have a picture of Sanja with her completed butterfly below. There is also a picture of Jaime with his completed Tiger above. And me wearing Sanja's princess crown while holding her butterfly (not my idea).
Last week, I had a sort of reviewal of things here with Jana and Christian. There have been some issues lately between mostly Jana and me. I think that these are largely due to the very different personalities we have. I'm hoping that the talk will prove to be productive.
