Becky is over helping Dawn with some clean up and organization. I’m doing my best to watch the kids and not be overbearing or overprotective. We went to Skyline park for little while, but ran out of water after an hour so we came back home for lunch. (Water fountain there was dead and I didn’t realize the gallon of water that used to be in the van was no longer there.)
As soon as the current Baby Einstein is over I’ll put the two little ones in their rooms for quiet time. I was thinking about trying to bike / have the older girls Wii during it, but I’m not sure I’m up for it. Well, the little kids are in their rooms but not settled.
Becky’s documented a lot of what she prayed for when she was praying about our kids. My main prayers were reasonably healthy, happy would be nice, not overwhelmingly whiny, and in a bit of absolute selfishness, not slow. Unfortunately Lorelei and Liam, Lorelei in particular, are whiners, with a tone that just sets my nerves on edge. Pre-omeprazole, it was an instant ticket to acid reflux. Now that isn’t always a guarantee, but it still just sets my nerves on edge.
I did end up biking while the girls played Wii after the little kids settled, although Liam never slept. And then once everyone was awake and reasonably pleasant we went out for McDonalds (kids) Arbys (adults) and took food over to Becky and Dawn and marveled at the progress they had made! (For real, they did an amazing amount of work).
When we came back, with an hour or so of work I got two more screws out of the one carb bracket so I could completely remove it. Tried to get some others out but they’re not really budging. Kinda frustrating.
Fought with Becky a bit about the same old, same old. Not covering exactly the same ground, but not making much forward progress either.
