Last Friday was my official first day complete alone! No kids were home sick, Mike was out of town, I didn’t have any appointments to make or bills to pay. I didn’t know what to do with myself! Literally! I found myself thinking about a puppy. I caught my snap though when my mind started drifting to potty training and long trips….
So far Johnny has missed one day a week, due to something (last week was a really bad cough, one week it was chemo, and the other weeks it was doctor visits). I told the office ladies at their school we are off to a rocky start — hopefully it will get better. I am amazed that Johnny hasn’t had a hospital stay since he started school. emergency room visit — no overnighters.
Sunday was another grom contest. The waves were pretty big actually, and there was a STRONG CURRENT ripping down the coast.
I think the boys were a little freaked out by it, so Mikey stood out at their breaks to boost their confidence. Joey placed 1st in his first heat, Johnny second.
For the finals, Joey got third (Mikey and I think he was at least second). Johnny WON first place in his division! WOO HOO, two times in a row for the little grom. They are both stoked, and ready for the contest next weekend — if there are waves. I think Sophie wants to start too, I told her next year, that way we can build her confidence up over the summer.
Johnny’s next office visit is Wednesday — I will update more later!
