End to a crazy week

Happy Saturday night everyone. This has been a busy and trying week for me as I adapt to Rich's work schedule. To make it harder, Thursday & Friday he had over time. Thursday he didn't get home until 930 (supposed to have been 6) and last night he worked from 5pm-230 am, it was his night off. He helped out the drug unit with a search warrant. The kids have been great though and I have a little mom guilt for being so cranky and tired these past few nights. But back to Rich's first day on road patrol. He had two arrest, one a minor drug arrest and the other one was huge, he caught a leader of an identity theft ring. This ring was through the whole state of Florida and he even found some blank checks belonging to someone in Colorado. It was a jam up job and I'm proud of him, ofcourse it sucked that it kept him out till 930 but what can you do. So far this weekend the only thing I've done is grocery shopped and cleaned house. I hope to get these brows waxed tomorrow but who knows. I have to say I did enjoy playing with the baby all day. He is getting so big. I bought him these crackers that disolve in his mouth as he chews him and he did really good. I was scared he'd choke because he don't take solid food very good. But he suprised me and ate them up. I finally learned how to get him to eat veggies. I have to put some on the spoon, then put some fruit on the front of the spoon. I have to trick him to take the bite....isn't great when he's only 8 months old and i can't get him to eat veggies already! It's my fault for introducing him to fruit to begin with I reckon. He had his other flu shot (babies get it in two parts) the first time he got sick with a little fever, but that next day he broke his first tooth so we weren't sure if it was the flu shot or the tooth that made him sick, we'll since he didn't get sick with this second flu shot, my bet is the tooth made him sick. So far he's only cut his bottom two. Still waiting for the others to start coming in. Oh and I was so proud of him, he didn't even cry when he got the shot. He wimpered when the nurse pulled the needle out and that was it. I thought for sure he'd scream when she stuck him, but he didn't. He's gonna be tough like Daddy (cause I'm a big wuss) Katie got good citizen at school. every couple of months each teacher picks one student out of their class to get it and they have a luncheon for the parents to attend and see the kids get the awards and then the special treat is the parents can check the kids out for the rest of the day if they want and it doesn't count against the students. So I brought katie burger king and watched her get her award. I'm so proud of that girl, first honor roll, now this. She's such a great kid! I felt bad for the kids at the luncheon whose parents didn't come. There were like 5 kids at a table together in the corner with a teacher that hung out to support them. It had to suck because there were about 35 other kids whose parents were sitting with them and had brought them lunch. I thank God I have a job that allows me to take time off to do stuff like that for my children. I imagine some of the parents that didn't come was because of work, it is in the middle of the day and I understand times are tough alot of people have to work and can't afford to take time off. Thank you RPD for understanding the importance of family and letting me take the rest of the day off to get katie out of school. (i took advantage of the time by getting richie his flu shot) Also one more thing, I'd like to note that after we took the baby to the doctor for his shot richard wanted a sunday and I stuck to my weight watchers and didn't get any ice cream, i had a bite of his and a bite of katie's but other than that i sat and watched them eat their ice cream! go me!
