SLEEPY SATURDAY NIGHT

You know how you're going along thinking yeah, I'm going to get this done today, that done tonight, etc. and then SPLAT! you hit a wall. I have officially hit my wall. Just got Colby is bed and wanted to get a few other things done, but now I'm thinking I'll just go to bed. Start fresh tomorrow. Or then again, I may at least stay up and watch a Christmas movie. Or The Hangover because it's a freakin' funny movie.

On Thursday I got a call from the company that supplied Colby's new bi-pap. They said they had an order to change Colby's bi-pap settings. Huh? First I've heard of it. So I'm thinking the results of Colby's sleep study came in. I'll need to follow up with that on Monday. That would help explain the episodes of Colby's oxygen dropping every now and then through the night. Might also explain why he's been so dang sleepy over the last week or so. He fell asleep again today, that's not like Colby. He has taken more naps in the last 2 weeks than he has in the last 2 or 3 years. Always something.

Friday's thanksgiving - Wine Night. I love getting together with those crazy girlies. We were trying to decide how long we've been doing it, around 7 or 8 years we think. That's a heck of a long time to keep something rolling but we've managed to do it. We're all so busy, sometimes this is the only chance we get to talk to each other all month. It's cool because we'll pick up right where we left off last month. We've been through everything with each other over the years - marriages, divorces, career changes, illnesses, deaths, good times, bad times. Hopefully we'll continue for the next 8 years!

Today's thanksgiving is simple. I'm thankful for a beautiful, sunny day. I know winter is fast approaching and there won't be too many of days like this for a while. Got Colby out for a few minutes to get some Vitamin D out in the sun and drive his power chair for a bit. Yep, he's still running into the grass. Definitely still not following commands like stop or turn or don't run into the van. Honestly I'm starting to rethink the whole power chair thing. Just might not be Colby's gig.

Yeah, I'm also thinking go to bed. Sounds good. I'm a sleepy mama.
