2015 :: week 4

January 18
Sunday evening my dad showed us some old home videos. He and some of my sisters have been working on getting the old VHS tapes transferred to DVD. I had a lot fun watching the movies. What is crazy is that when I watch these videos I am instantly taken back to myself at 10 years old, and it doesn't feel that long ago. Then I look at my parents and realize that they are only a few years older than I am now and the reality that a lot of time has passed hits.

We cashed in a Red Robin gift card Monday night. There was a balloon artist in the house and he made some really cool balloons for the kids. Will got a rattlesnake and Lauren got two dogs kissing with a heart between the two.

January 20
We got ready for bed a little quicker than usual (the kids are usually anything but quick, searching for ways to elongate the bedtime process), so we had time to put a few puzzles together. Will got this sea life puzzle for Christmas and enjoys correcting me when I misidentify the fish.

January 21
Sometimes all my library holds come in at once and I have to read like crazy. Unfortunately I got a migraine over the weekend that slowed my reading progress (my eyes hurt to much to read when I have headaches).

January 22
We've been spending a lot of time with Lauren sitting on the toilet lately. Her toilet-usage skills regressed a bit during and after our trip to Boston, but she is finally starting to where we'd like her to be. People told me potty training girls was easier than boys, but in our family the opposite has been true.

January 23
Reading scriptures before bed. We recently finished reading the children's New Testament and started reading the Old Testament.

January 24
I got a migraine this weekend. I tried to push through it but after playing around with the idea of laying down in my trunk in the Costco parking lot for a bit because I didn't know if I could handle the five-minute drive home I knew I needed to surrender. I typically stay my dark room with a fan on while I'm trying to get through a migraine, but it is hard for me to sleep and so I slowly go crazy. I came out to the couch for a bit in the afternoon and Lauren volunteered to be my doctor. She gave me a checkup and lots of shots, but don't worry she had a kitty band aid ready for me.

Sorry about the migraine :( I wish they were curable! I'm glad you got a kitty bandaid though! Lauren's a sweet girl.

Ugh. Bummer about the migraine. Hopefully you'll be able to read all your books and get back to feeling better. And with Dr. Lauren by your side you should be back to optimal health in no time!

Sorry about the migraine! I hope you've been feeling better the past week.

I never thought I'd miss something like a library, but I completely miss the Johnson County library system. Here you have to PAY for holds. $1 each. Ridiculous, right?

Your migraines sound awful! I'm glad Lauren gave you a bandaid.:)
