Walking comic books and lunch dates with doctors.

What have I done today? Hmm, just a little of this and that, I guess.

I went for a walk with my neighbor and her sweet Emma-baby. We walked a wide loop, and it was so warm. We've been warm since late last week, but we hit 80° again today. It's supposed to slowly go down, being in the 70's or so the rest of the week, and we haven't and won't have rain for a good ten days or so. It's kinda strange to be so warm right now, since all the leaves and such changed in the past two weeks for fall. I'm just glad I hadn't put away our shorts and such yet.

A.J. got his comic book he's been waiting on for a few weeks. It was the last of the things he ordered with his birthday money and gift card from Amazon, and it was a pre-order and wasn't shipped until last week. He jams to the Dr. Horrible soundtrack on a regular basis through his laptop or iPod, and he loves it.

I worked on a few pictures from our visit to the pumpkin patch last week. I've just not been sitting at the computer a whole lot lately, so the pictures are slow-going.

I called around and made TWELVE doctor appointments this afternoon. The boys have three each (physical, eye, dental), but the remaining six appointments are for me (including a dental). I'm not at all excited about some of the issues because I'm afraid I'm facing another bladder surgery in the near future. *sigh* On the positive side, the different offices really worked to get me in quickly, and all of my appointments are within two weeks, starting this Thursday. That's some fast scheduling!

I've been having lunch each week with "The Jack Pack" at school, but tomorrow I'll be changing things up a bit. I offered to his teacher to volunteer if needed, and she's asked me to begin coming in. I chose Wednesday morning for ease in my own schedule: I'll take Jack to school, stay through the morning, have lunch with him, and then come back home. I'm sure there might be times where I'll finish a project for a bit after lunch, too. I'm excited to go, as I'll learn all his classmates' names much more quickly than I have been during lunchtime.

Jack delivered the special soccer ball cookies from the rained-out game to his teammates at their last practice tonight (the rest of the season is comprised of games only). There were more kids in attendance for a practice ever, so that's a good thing. When they returned home, there were only four extra cookies.

I think that's it. I'm kinda tired tonight, so I'm going to turn in early, I think. ZZZzzzzzz...

I don't know about you but sometimes I wish the seasons were definitively separate so I knew what clothes to put away and when I should bring out the next season's clothes,though I suppose the unpredictability makes life a little more interesting when ya get right down to it... ;)

Wow,twelve doctor appointments for various family members?!? And I thought the three upcoming weekly dental visits we have set up for Kamryn (not including the one the other day) were quite a few! 0_o

Oh well,I hope you get nothing but good news from all of them,and that your assumption about the possibility of another bladder surgery is negated. The idea something could potentially be wrong is so nerve-wracking,and some people would just rather go through life trying to ignore any and all symptoms,so good for you for facing your anxiety and getting the appointments made! That's great the offices could schedule them so quickly too!

I love to volunteer with the kids' schools,and wish I could do more because I want to be sure the kids know I believe school is important,as I am sure you do. Come to think of it I have some pencils Kamryn's teacher sent home for me to sharpen...

Well anyway,sorry for the ramble! I hope you're continuing to have a good week! ♥
