I woke up at 7am yesterday, got the kids off to school at 8:45am. Then I made an appointment for Vashti and Wolfie at the vets for noon and cleaned the kitchen. I called the delta lost baggage line and they said I should call back in a few hours to see if my bags were on the next flight in from JFK. G asked me for help putting all the loose items in the yard into the shed because there’s a hurricane warning this weekend.

G and I took the dogs to the vet and everyone was in love with Wolfie. He was behaving surprisingly well considering he’s usually hyper. Just taking in the praise and adoration. It took about an hour then we went home and I went back out to get us some lunch. Mmmmm 5 Guys (hot dog & hamburger place) sooo good.

I called the delta lost baggage line back and the guy was a little rude with me. He kept interrupting me everything I said, but there was no new information anyway. Then I went out to get some cleaning supplies and some replacement stuff for myself.

The kids got home at 4pm and I made dinner for 6. Everyone devoured it so I guess it was good, we were supposed to use the left-overs for tonight but there wasn’t any. After dinner I checked the delta lost baggage website and there was still no update so I asked Isabel and Mom to come with me to get something to wear. I should have taken a crash course on the assembly of Mom’s wheelchair. I’ve never done it before and I was struggling with it a bit to put it together though that was easier than taking it apart. At least I had Isabel wait in the car while Mom and I put it together, and both Mom and Isabel were in the car while I took it apart. I didn’t mind the rain. While we were out, G called to tell us that delta had found 1 bag. By the time we got home, both were updated as found! It said they’d be delivered between 8am-8pm Saturday. They actually arrived at 5am and scared the shit out of me but no one else stirred.

I had told the kids that I had a contest for them and the winner would be allowed to stay up a little longer than the other.. I gave them each a section of the low cabinets in the kitchen, and said whomever wiped them down the fastest and the best would be the winner. They were so excited about competing that they finished in like 10 minutes. If I’d known I would have made the sections bigger! LOL I called mom in to judge and she declared a tie. I said such a thing had never happened before in competition cabinet scrubbing and that I guessed they’d both get to stay up a little longer. They were so excited and begged to be allowed to do it again tomorrow. Strange strange kids but I’ll take it !

I went for a shower finally and threw my clothes in the laundry and it was so nice. It started to rain while us girls were out shopping but it started coming down harder. The kids were wrestling in Isabel’s room and finally settled down to watch the Incredibles. G and I sat down to watch The Seeker but it was pretty awful.. I never read the books but it felt like there were huge sections cut from the movie. The transitions just didn’t make much sense. Once I got the kids to bed, I pretty much passed out till the door bell rang with my bags. What a day!

Mom seems to be speaking much better. She did not seem to be feeling well from about lunch on though and she slept pretty much all day minus a few hours. At the end of the night she said her head was on fire. She said she’s felt that way before and that it just went away on it’s own. She woke up briefly this morning and said it still feels that way though. I’m wondering if it’s blood pressure related. She was doing very well in the morning which is when she takes all her medicine so maybe that needs to be stretched out over the day.
