Today went too quickly. I blame the time warp on work. with teaming for a Doctor and two in baskets due to another nurse calling in the day just flew. Then just before the end of the day was a mock code. and the discussion after. 

A mock code is when we have someone come in and pretend to be in an emergency so that we can practice our "hey don't die on us" skills. It's a really good refresher and I feel like I learned stuff. The guy who does it is awesome. He's been a paramedic for the past 25 years and he offered that if we ever wanted we could ride in the ambulance with him. I'm so tempted because I think it would be a really eye opening amazing experience. 

I then drove half an hour out of my way to the lawyers to talk to them only to have them not finished with my paperwork and not in for me to ask questions. 

My job is great. But sometimes it really blows working the same business hours as everyone else and only having a half day to get it all done. 

I came home, changed clothing, ate lunch and caught up on what the boys had been doing, then packed us all into the car and went to get my little miss. my little moody sassy miss. my argumentative fanny fandango of a miss. I let the boys out to play on the playground there and while waiting for school to let out A came by to get her kiddo. I wished her a hap-hap-happy birthday again. (I had already called her at like seven thirty in the AM to do that). She gave me pictures from Nan's Wedding and my girl is beyond beautiful. 

There were tons of pictures of her and everyone of them model lovely. I could see just how she's going to look in ten years or so. I'm going to need a shot gun, a large large shot gun. with a saber on the end. 

My lovely Peanut came shooting out the door thereafter and played on the playground for a bit with her brothers.

We finally left and headed to the bank, and from there I was suckered by kids to go to the store, where I got the necessities in life: paper towels, pasta sauce, ice cream, pringles, and dollar toys. (Totally forgetting of course the one thing I really was in need of... cereal (thank you Fifi) (see earlier posts)).

Home again home again to make tacos for dinner while miss sass butt did her homework (seriously she has 7 days left, she's in second grade, homework is lame). The kids were bathed and brushed and ready for bed at 7 pm. totally rare these days. However, it took til 8 pm to have them settled, with stories, prayers and songs, and they are STILL UP. They can be such butts. But I can't help but love them. 

And that was my day. my wicked fast, where the hell did it go day. 

I'm going to try to go and relax with a shower, maybe some yoga, and a good movie. 

oh side note from yesterday. Took the kids swimming out at the pool in the afternoon. It was tons of fun. It took forever to get Nugget to want to come in but once he was in he had a good time. However I think his new nick-name should be koala. Bitty-bot had the best time once he got over the first coldness of the water, then I couldn't stop him from throwing things in, sunglasses, shoes, leaves you name it. I'm just glad the keys were hidden and the phone was upstairs. My girl was totally jealous of the "attention" I was giving the boys, but there wasn't much I could do about that. She's been getting that way increasingly and it's getting tiring. I shouldn't say that but it's frustrating always having her whine at me when right now she gets more of my time than the boys do at all. Sometimes this parenting thing is exhausting.
