My work schedule has been a little wacky and it really has messed me up! I usually work Thursday and Friday nights and every other Monday night. For some reason my Friday shift got bumped to a Saturday shift so I worked Thursday, Saturday and Monday night. That made for 5 days of exhaustion. Tuesday I only slept for a couple hours when I got home, then I crashed as soon as I put the girls to bed at 8:00 that night.
Father's Day was really nice, I think. I felt bad because I was so tired, but I tried to help the girls make it a special day for Aaron. I made a cake that morning when I got home from work and Maddie helped make the ganache later in the day. The girls and I brainstormed and made a candy bar poster for him and they also answered a questionnaire about him that they gave to him. We went to my grandparents' house for dinner and a visit with my family. When we got home we had the cake - it was so good! It was a triple chocolate peanut butter cake. Yum. Aaron said it's the best dessert I've ever made.
I've been trying to get caught up on housework, again. It's never-ending. Maddie is really enjoying piano lessons and her sewing class. Cami and Brie have several friends on our street that they love to play with. I took them for their Kindergarten check-up and shots on Wednesday, they did pretty well. Brie had her shots first and didn't cry, but Cami watched them do it and it made her really anxious. I had to hold her down and she cried the whole time she was getting hers. I felt really bad. We made up for it with ice cream at the new place near our house and a Redbox DVD.
We're headed to Manti for the pageant tonight, the girls don't really know what we're doing. We're leaving about noon so we spend some time in Ephraim with my cousin and her kids. We are planning on visiting the farm so that the girls can see the horses and collect eggs from the chickens. They will love it! I'm looking forward to it, it's the start of a whole week off of work!

A-HA!!! I hunted you down! Sorry to be a stalker, but I just thought it was too wild to see your name on a comment on Lexi's blog, and read that you brought Lexi and Lance a Café Rio gift card. I wasn't sure you'd ever see what I write about you in the comments on Lexi's blog. I'm glad you did. Everything from those 11 days Colin spent in the NICU is kind of a blur, and I remember I had almost all awesome nurses, but you really stood out because of your sweetness and calm demeanor. But, of course, I couldn't remember your name. Now I know it and can tell the Powers That Be just how wonderful you were to us. I appreciated how you explained things to me patiently and non-patronizingly (pretty sure that's a real word...) and never made me feel like I was putting you out. It takes a special kind of person to be a truly GREAT nurse, and you definitely fit that bill!
Thanks again for being so awesome!
