TGIF

Tomorrow anyway. It will be friday, that is. Jude finally fell asleep. My back hurts from slinging him and holding him constantly. It's the work thing this week that's killing me, because he gets tired and just wants to be held and nurse, and I'm at the desk trying to get ready for Monday when the new session starts!

It's been a helluva busy week around here. Monday we went on a hsing field trip to Strong Museum. Check out today's hsing blog for more info on that.

Yesterday we took a field trip for Emma's LCG class to a farm market, which was really cool. They have these huge corn stalk tepees and I do mean HUGE. Inside, they are dark and one has at least a hundred or more Jack O'Lanterns lit up inside all around and up and up, and the next one has scary skeletons all lit up above you.

There was a petting zoo with donkeys and goats and sheep and chickens that were dyed pastel colors. They were hilarious! I wish I had taken m camera. They had a good selection of foodstuff inside. Soren got a slushy and Emma got hot chocolate and I got a donut and bought an apple pie to take home. It's pretty decent, although not as good as Lynn's was!

Today we had music class, and then emma went to play with her friend Nat. Then we went to the library downtown.

The girls and I had an funny discussion about monsters today. I noticed that someone had been peeing and not wiping or flushing and I knew it wasn't Tom ;). Soren finally fessed up and I admitted I used to do the same thing when I was her age, because I had an irrational fear that alligators would come out of the toilet when I flushed it. Emma admitted that she was afraid of monsters in the toilet, and then Soren agreed, and admitted that she didn't wipe so that I hopefully wouldn't notice that there was pee in the toilet ;). Heh. I used to do the same thing. We're a weird family. Then I told them how i used to hightail it up the stairs from our basement because I was also afrad that alligators would get me when I turned out the light to go upstairs. I don't know where this fear of reptiles comes from!

So anyway, Jude has to have a VCUG on Nov. 8. Apparently 10% of babies who get UTIs at his age have some sort of problem with the works in the bladder, so they want to rule that out. Thanks for your thoughts Rachel. I'm not looking forward to it but at least I found a sitter for the girls so I don't have to take them with me. I really just want to be able to focus on Jude. Tom's pretty stressed about it, but I really hate watching/dealing w/ my kids having procedures done to them and I'm sure he can't get off work to come along.

In other news, I got a package from Karen yesterday. Cute clothes for Jude when he's quite a bit bigger, which is good. Right now though, we have so many 3-6 mo. clothes that I'm refusing to do any baby laundry until he works his way through some of the outfits! His dresser is full and there's an entire rubbermaid bin of 3-6 mo size clothes that I haven't even opened yet.

We're off to PA tomorrow. I still have last minute costume adjustments to make, and the girls are excited. they get to t or t w/ their dad on Saturday and here on Sunday. Tom has to work at the complex during t or t time. Psuedo security or some such bullshit ;). Speaking of which, his boss was pissed b/c he refused to go on a call yesterday morning for someone who reported that their car was broken into. Um, ever heard of 911? Geez.

gotta get to bed.
