A casual day
We spent the bulk of the day playing Legos and painting. When Sid got back home from his errands I ran out to visit a friend who is a new mother and her tiny, newborn daughter, Jordan Elena. The kids invited friend's over to spend the night and watch the fireworks. We thought they might have to cancel them (the rest of the activities: bounce houses, live music, food booths, Frisbee demos, etc) were all cancelled. The rain held off and we watched the show from the park across the street. The fireworks were nice but the kids were much more entertained with the glow sticks they brought out.
It's midnight now and the girl's are still awake. I'd better go scold them.

Bummer
I left my camera at home this morning. I only charge it about once a month and then I routinely forget to put it back in my purse. I had pictures of our "computer lab" as the kids call the office…. All three of the children are spending a lot of time in there right now. Sheela is on the family computer, Sid is on his laptop and Sunil is on his toy laptop playing word games like Hangman. I also had some birthday party photos from a variety of my friend Alma's parties. We had a happy hour in her honor, took her to lunch and had a surprise pool party. I hope she feels older… I sure do.

Bionic eyes
Once again I've caved and attempted to medicate my way past my spring coughing fits. Historically this has not gone well. Cough suppressants don't do anything for me. Antihistamines don't do anything for me. Nasal sprays make me worse off after they wear off. Today I took Mucinex DM. It is supposed to make the coughing "more productive" and thin out the sinus drainage. I am not coughing and I'm not suffering from drainage but I feel like my eyes are dilated. I can focus but it takes a long time and a lot of effort. My eyes seem to circle in tighter and tighter until they land on the right spot. The whole time I can hear the "whaaa, whaaa, whaaa" sounds that let you know that Steve Major's bionic eyes were working hard. It has been suggested that I go back home and nap (an attractive option) but I don't think I want to drive with my bionic eyes. I'll stay here and design validation protocols until I feel a little bit more like myself. Tomorrow I'll reread the protocols before I send them around. I doubt I'll say anything stupid, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yay June!
Once again another May has been survived. It is one of my favorite times of year but I'm ready for a break. June has only one soccer tournament, one t-ball game and one round of swim classes (for each kid). This should let me concentrate on the chaos that is my day job. Really it isn't that bad but we are gearing up for our annual surveillance audit and we wanted to have more projects completed than we managed to really put to bed. I still think that we are in pretty good shape.
