Day off

So, the past week has been crazy, to say the least. I feel like our family has not spent a night together in forever. Let me explain. Last Wednesday, we had conference prep until 5:30. Afterwards, I went and grabbed a bite to eat and ran a shopping errand because I thought my boys were gone for the evening at a lutefisk feed. They were actually home because Lukin was sick.

Thursday was conferences until 8 pm. Then I came home to a sick husband in addition to a sick kid.

Friday was sort of normal, except for my husband was still sick and so needed to go to bed pretty early.

Saturday, we went out for dinner for Sonny's uncle's retirement party. Then after, Lukin and I went over to the in-laws for cake and coffee, but Sonny did not. He went home and went to bed because he still wasn't well and he had to work in the am.

Sunday was somewhat normal.

Monday had conferences until 8 pm again and Lukin stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's because Sonny still wasn't well. So I came home and slept on the couch because the last thing a sick person needs is someone coming in and flipping through the channels as they try to go to sleep and tossing and turning to find a comfy position.

Tuesday, conferences only went until 6 pm, then I met up with my boys at the in-laws for dinner because some friends of Sonny's aunt, who is visiting, flew in from England. So we all had dinner together. Sonny went home as soon as he was finished and Lukin and I stayed until some time after 8 and then came home and game L-train a bath and put him to bed.

Tonight (Wednesday) was the first night in practically a week where both of us were around to put Lukin to bed. And even though I wasn't technically here at bedtime, due to my election judge class, the boys were waiting for me when I got home. And I have to say, it was nice to put Lukin to bed as a family at least once this week.

P.S. In case any of you were wondering about the entry with the kid with staph. Further testing showed that he was, in fact, negative for staph. Thank goodness.
