Day 5- Thursday, May 16

Thanks to everyone who helped solve the math problem. My buddies Peggy, Audrey, and Julie helped me understand how to explain it to Erin. Turns out, she was able to explain it to me after going over the problem at school today! (she had to write a rule for the 2nd one- Thanks Luis! That was great of you to work it out too!)

Also, a big thank you to Wanda and Jen who helped take care of Erin and Evan tonight while I had to work late. I have great friends!

I managed to remember to take the trash out on Wednesday night, but I didn't bring the trash bin inside the garage when I got home last night- and the trash man left the lid open. It rained most of today, so now I have water in the trash bin. I don't really 'do' trash that well, so it will just have to evaporate somehow.

Erin and Evan have their annual doctor appointments tomorrow. It should be interesting for 2 reasons: tomorrow is Wacky-Tacky day at school and I'm picking them up early to get them to their doctor appointments. Everyone at the doctor's office is going to think I dress my kids like that. Evan is crazy enough to tell people that's just a normal outfit for him. I could pack extra clothes, but after the week I've had, I'd rather just let people talk about us. The second reason their appointments should be interesting is because Erin FREAKS out when it's time to have her finger pricked. Literally...she will scream bloody murder- thus increasing our odds that everyone will be looking at us. Looking forward to that. Good times.

I just got off the phone with Chris. He sounds great, but tired. He's looking forward to his rest day tomorrow. I miss him so much, but I know he's having the time of his life on the road. His blog is amazing- be sure to check it out. http://www.cvdavis.blogspot.com/
