5 Pints

5 pints make everything better.


Especially when they are Chunky Monkey, Imagine Whirled Peace, Black Walnut, Buttered Pecan, and Rocky Road. I spent almost $20 on ice cream.
But as John and I stood at the kitchen bar and ate from 5 open containers of ice cream all problems melted away.


Today was a Good Day Indeed. First we woke early because John had an appointment to get his vision checked at 9am. He got home just before it was time to wake the kids at 11am. He'll go back to pick out his new frames in June. But there was little change in his vision and his lazy eye is stronger. Yay for eye exercises that actually worked! (The only time I can see the lazy in his eye is when he's very tired and not wearing his glasses.)
Not long after that it was time for me to shower and get ready for my eye appointment. I wasn't getting my vision checked though. The last 2 times I've gone the pressure in my eyes has been higher than it should. So they suggested that I get it checked every 3 months. (My Grandmother had glaucoma, so this is something I'm very worried about.) Well, my appointment was for 2pm. I finally got called about around 3:30. Did a few tests then they had to dilate my eyes so I had more waiting. I finally left around 4:30. BUT! My pressure is down and in normal ranges. My eyes (the insides) looked great and I don't have to go back for a year! Yay! (But I'm going to make a point of wearing my glasses more.)


Then we had some dinner/lunch and we both napped with the kids as they took their second nap. When they woke up we went to see our nurses! Yay! (I love going to see them.) They loved on the babies who didn't freak out. And I found out that they may have a secertary job opening in the antepartum unit. It would be from 3pm-11pm, so I'd get to work 4 hours with the day nurses and 4 hours with the night nurses. I would LOVE that. It would a fairly easy job too. If I had different days off from John we'd only need a nanny for 3 nights a week. I think, if the pay's right, we could do that! I'm so excited! I'll use my nurses as references too. I would love that. Seriously. I'll keep an eye on their job board and apply as soon as I see it posted.

Also, the hospital is opening a new Women's Hospital and the nurses are putting our names down to be at the ground breaking ceremony. How cool would that be?!


After the hospital we came home and did our bath and bed routine with the kids. After they were down, I went out for our 5 pints.


And here I am. But now I'm going because I'm tired and we have another 'early' morning tomorrow. Granddaddy is coming to see the babies!


(Spelling not checked. Sorry. And I'm not wearing my glasses. Hope it's not too bad!)
