It's been a Long Day. I had to be at work for a 6:00a.m. meeting and I didn't leave work until a little after 6:00p.m. I knew I was going to be late so my mother-in-law had planned to come over and help with the kids tonight. I didn't get home until it was close to their bedtime.
Aubrey had just gone down to bed and Carter was about to go to bed. At least I got to see them before they went to bed. Calvin and Brayden had just finished getting a bath. They stayed up about thirty minutes later than normal tonight. Calvin has become quite the basketball player. He always claps and says "yay, Calvin made basket" after he makes a basket.
Today was a really crappy day at work. I was thinking about work the whole drive home until I got close to the house. Then my thoughts shifted to seeing the kids. While seeing the kids didn't 100% fix my mood, it certainly was a big lift. I get to have another long meeting tomorrow, but I at least will be able to leave work at normal time and pick up the kids from daycare.
Erin has her surgery tomorrow at 10:00a.m. Her mother is taking her in and picking her up. I asked Erin how she felt; if she was nervous or not. She said she wasn't nervous, but that she was excited. That's not to say she is excited to have surgery, but she is excited for the outcome.
I am taking Friday off from work to make sure she is okay (not to mention I just need a Kit Kat bar...I mean a break). Aside from taking time off when Carter and Aubrey were born and two days for Calvin and Brayden's birthday I haven't had any time off this year (excluding Holidays). I am going to take a week off soon just to maintain my sanity.
The next six weeks should be interesting. We normally have to tag team to get the kids ready in the morning and get them fed when they get home from daycare. Erin always drops them off in the morning and I always pick them up. I am going to have a heavy burden these next few weeks since she won't be able to do much, but I am up for it. Either that or I am in denial. I'm not sure what the hardest part will be, but I think it will be having to get up at night each time the babies wake up. We won't be able to alternate getting babies. More to come...
