A Good Sanity Day

Today was a good day. It's pretty laid back around here the last few days. Mackenzie is at my mom's house until the end of July. Hunter goes to work with Darrell during the day, so it's just been Shelby, Maggie and I at home. We slept in this morning, then I and they both needed a shower, so I put them in the shower with me. That was an experience, and not something that I plan on doing again. I ended up shaving my legs in cold water, after getting them both washed up and out of the tub.

We went to Wal-Mart after that and the grocery store to pick up a few things. They played together for a while after we got home and now they're outside on the swingset. Of course, the real challenge with those two will come tonight when it's time for bed. It is so hard to get them to settle down and go to sleep these days. It's those times that I wish they had separate bedrooms.

Tomorrow is going to be fun. Shelby is having her tonsils out Thursday, so tomorrow we have a lot of running to do to get ready. I told her we'd go to the movie store and let her pick out some movies to watch over the weekend, and we have to get some ice cream, popsicles and juices for her to eat and drink for the first day or two. I have to fill the truck up with gas, and get all of Maggie's stuff ready for going to my friend Dawn's house while we're at the hospital. It's going to be a long day, and I'm dreading it, but I know she needs it. I'll just be glad for it to be over. Funnily enough, the thing I'm dreading most is keeping her from eating or drinking anything after midnight tomorrow night. Like I said before, she's very sneaky, so I'm going to have to keep a hawk eye on her, and hopefully get her to bed before midnight. I'm going to let her sleep in on Thursday until just before time to leave so we won't have to worry about her wanting breakfast. We have a two hour drive to the hospital though, so I know she'll be whining about being thirsty and hungry long before we get there.

So, today was pretty boring, but I wanted to get in the habit of updating. I'll try to post tomorrow, and then I'll update Thursday as soon as I can. I'm not sure when we'll be home, or how Shelby will be doing, so it may be Friday before I have the energy.
