I woke up at 6 am to a hungry baby (was up once in the night too- not sleeping through the night quite yet) and a messy house because I was too tired last night to do a final pick up/load the dishwasher. By 9:15, Ethan was scream-crying. He does this now (I figured out) when he is really tired. I was rushing to get out the door because he calms down as soon as we back out of the driveway and the car is moving. So I load Charlie in the car & buckle, load Ethan in (still crying) and run inside to grab the keys. I can't find them. Chris drove last, so I look in all his normal spots that are inconveniently NOT the key rack and then proceed to throw couch cushions around and move furniture in a panic (making my already messy house a disaster). I call Chris to make him suffer with me. I am really flustered by this point because I have to pull the kids out the car to continue my search. I called the dealership to find out a replacement key would be $200. The real stress was that I go back to work on Sunday and even if I was stuck home today, I did need car keys by then for sure. I'm also stressed about going back to work. I actually look forward to seeing the girls I work with and to meet the new patients. I guess I'm just nervous because our life seems crazy right now without putting work into the mix and I'm nervous because I've been out of practice for a few months and do I really remember how to administer chemo? Anyway, I just got myself more worked up as I frantically searched for the keys.
Oh- I finally found them at the bottom of a basket filled with Charlie's matchbox cars.
I'm still nervous about going back to work.
My house is still a disaster.
But Ethan & Charlie are napping simultaneously (hence time to blog) and I'm very thankful for that!
