My husband has been up since 5:30am making caramel pies (his specialty) so when the rest of us were waking up he was raring to go. I told him he needed to calm down and let the rest of us catch up to him but in the end I sent him on his way because I knew he would just annoy the rest of us. He set off on his errands and he has a lot of them. He has been doing most of the Christmas shopping and he isn't used to doing it at all. I will save that for another thankful post. Anyway, after he left I looked at the time and wondered if he would remember to be back in time for me to go to physical therapy. There was no way he would be back in time so I broke the news to the kids and they reluctantly got ready.
I always worry when I have to take them somewhere that isn't really child friendly. It isn't fair to them. We packed Mindy's kindle and made sure my phone was charged and headed out. The kids have been to physical therapy with me before. I was going about 2-3 times a week this summer and they were there every time so I had an idea of how they would behave. They were angels. I was a little surprised because since Mindy got her kindle they are constantly fighting over it. She has been very good about trying to share and thankfully my husband got Mason his own for Christmas so we only have one more day of those arguments. I was so glad they were quiet and got along. One of the best compliments a mother can get is a comment about how well their children behave. Several of the other patients and the employees all commented on that today and I was so proud!
The kids can drive me crazy and there are MANY times that I grit my teeth and give them the death stare but today I really needed a good day and thankfully, they were perfect.
