I was on-call last night and ended up working from 7:30PM 'til 3:15AM (after working my day job with the boys). And I was supposed to work today from 8:30AM-5PM. I left a love note for my boss when I left at 3. Luckily, Doug was available to get the boys up and to school and to Angela's so i could sleep in. Although, apparently I'm very much out of the sleeping-in habit and was basically up by 8:30 (after getting to bed at 4AM). You following this? I'm making it much more complicated than it needs to be. So, getting to the point, I talked to my boss around 11 and she very kindly told me to take the day off. Phew. Happily. As I told her, i felt like I got hit by a truck. I felt like what I can only assume a hangover would feel like--nauseous, serious headache, and just out-of-it.
So, with Bode at school and Keegen at Angela's...what's a girl to do?? I tried to get a much needed doctor's appt, but no go there. So i ran some errands sans children. Got a pair of scrubs to back-up the one measly pair i have (I have LOADS of scrubs, but RNs are now only allowed to wear NAVY blue scrubs where I work. Where' s the fun in that??). Ran to the fabric store. Dropped Keegen's cross stitch off to the needlework shop so a lovely lady can make it into a stocking (the stitching was basically finished last year, but i didn't make the finisher's deadline). Grabbed a bite to eat. Hit some shops that i could have spent our life-savings in (yes, there are a few choice shops in Colorado Springs. I'll give it that). Headed home and got the jogger to pick up the boys. Bode rode home on his trike while i pushed Keegs in the jogger.
We had a lovely evening. The boys are playing so well together lately. Fun. Keegen is sort of "getting" Bode's play style (ROUGH AND TUMBLE) and enjoying it more than just dealing with it. The boys are in bed. Doug just got home. I'm freakin' exhausted but am now debating between reading some of Eclipse or getting going on Doug's stocking....Hmmmm. Can I keep my lids open long enough and will my brain comprehend anything I read???

Wow! You get a lot done during free time! Good for you.
Sometimes a break in the routine is a good thing. I'm glad your boss was sane about the whole thing.
That stocking is going to be lovely!!
