I know every time I blog I say we've been busy. Well, it's
true, we seem to stay pretty darn busy around here! Last week was especially so.
I worked the whole week. It gets a little cra-cra on those weeks being away
from home so much and still trying to do what needs to be done for Colby. But I
managed. Didn't throw any fits or break any equipment at work, so that's always
a plus. Hopefully it will be a while before I need to work 5 or 6 days in a
row. That boss of mine has to be running out of vacation days soon, right?!
This week, busy also. Monday we went to the pet store. We checked out the puppies, rabbits, birds, fish and ferrets. Leave it to my kid to be fascinated by the baby ferrets. Colby has lost his mind if he thinks he's getting a stinky, sharp-toothed, rodent-looking pet. We picked out 6 new fish. Yes, we're giving the fish tank another go. To jog your memory, we had 3 fish back in the winter. Killed them all within 3 months. The water in the tank is very cloudy right now. They tested it twice at the pet store and said it was fine. We're down to 5 fish as of now. I'm determined to get this son-of-a-bitchin fish tank running successfully. Monday night we took Colby to see TMNT. That's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for those who don't know. He liked it! He actually watched the movie and didn't jabber through the entire thing. Good job, Colby.
Tuesday we took Colby swimming for the first time since
before surgery. I couldn't do a lot of the exercises/PT I usually do in the
water with him since he's still on some post-surgery restrictions. He loved it,
as always. Tuesday night was the open house at Colby's school. I thought it
would be a good idea for Colby and his teacher to meet before he started
school. It was miserably hot in that school building. I guess with people
coming and going and the door being opened so much, the AC just couldn't keep
up. Couldn't wait to get home. This hot weather can just go away at any time.
First person I hear complain about the cold gets punched directly in their
throat. I freaking hate hot, steamy, miserable, humid weather. Absolutely hate
it.
Yesterday I worked, so Colby just hung out during the day. I
know he was tired after everything he had done so far this week. Last night I
ran around this apartment like crazy getting Colby ready for school. That's
right, sweet boy's first official day back to school was today!! Luckily the
nurse who has been working with us since we got home from surgery has agreed to
go to school with Colby. This is a huge worry off my mind. He'll be great with
Colby, but for now, he's a rookie in the sense that taking Colby to school is a
whole different scenario than watching him here at home. New nurse, new morning
bus driver, new teacher, new speech therapist. Me, nervous? You bet I was. I
followed the bus to school and stayed in the back of the classroom for when the
nurse had questions. Tomorrow I will do the same. Colby had a great first day.
No crying, no whining, no choking. Can't ask for much more than that! Now we
have to get through tomorrow, too, then Colby will have 3 days to rest up and
get ready for school next week. Check out the pic below. Is he not the most
handsome 7th grader you have ever seen? Yes, yes he is.
Colby and I have finished reading his Hardy Boys book. Now
he needs to decide if he wants to start reading Harry Potter or another Hardy
Boys mystery. That Frank and Joe, you just never know what shenanigans they'll
get into, haha. I'm hoping for Harry Potter. But then again, if we start that
book now, chances are a year from now we'll still be reading it. We're not what
you call consistent on reading every night.
That's it for now. Need to unpack and repack the dishwasher,
fold the clothes that just buzzed in the dryer, and go tuck in that awesomely
awesome sweet boy of mine. More blogging when I get time. Soon I hope.
