The short story:

All is well.

 

 

 

 

The long story:

Woke up at 6:20 and took Truman for donuts. Got lost and went the way Melanie took me yesterday when we were looking for the donut store because our “favorite” donut store closed.  Turned around and found the new donut place.

Missed the turn for the carpool girl because Melanie forgot to tell me about it. No U-turns were allowed for a number of lights and when we finally got to make a U-turn the light was reaaaaaally long. Truman and Julia late for school.

Back home for a few minutes to dress Elliot for preschool. On time arrival.

Went to Best Buy for an auxiliary power cord since mine wasn’t working. Best Buy not open. Back home. Melanie leaves with Spencer for surgery. Nolan down for a nap. I feel like I need one too, but decide to read.

Wake Nolan up and go to Best Buy again. They tell me that it is not the $80 auxiliary cord, but the contact point that is bad. So sorry but could they fix my computer?…No thanks. Change baby in car.

Back to preschool. Arrive 15 minutes early. See Office Depot across the street. Run over there with baby. They diagnose a new auxiliary cord to fix the problem and it works.  They are on sale for $59.99. Note to self about Best Buy.

Pick up Elliot. Lunch. Boys play together. Truman comes home from school. Homework and reading done. Nolan takes another nap. Melanie comes home. Has a tube in each leg with medicine. She is in good spirits. Spencer carries her up the stairs for a little rest, then down the stairs where she sort of joins us in her reclining position.

Dinner. FHE. Bedtime for boys. And me, real soon.
