5:00 is too early for me...
I usually blog in the morning right after DH leaves to go to work at about 6:30. I wake up about 6 and make us breakfast (eggs, toast/bagels, fruit, OJ, coffee) and we eat and talk for about 15-20 min. before he leaves. Well, he is starting to have to work overtime and be at work at 6:00 every morning which means he has to get up at 5:00 and leave at 5:30. I just can't handle that. Plus we don't have time to eat breakfast together or we would have to get up at 4:30-- I don't think so. But since I don't wake up with him, I usually end up sleeping in until the girls wake up at 7:30 or 8. This totally throws my day off and I don't have much computer time at all. Which explains why my blogs have been so sporadic lately. Here is what's been going on:
We started rowing Ask Mr. Bear this week. It is a story about a little boy who is trying to figure out what to get his mom for her birthday. He asks all these different animals, until he comes to Mr. Bear and he tells him to give his mom "a big birthday bear hug". It's really sweet. I haven't done many of the activities with Lexi because they just aren't as good as the previous ones. We have practiced skipping, galloping, hopping etc. like the little boy does in the book. We have talked about what each animal has to offer him (the hen: an egg, the goat: cheese, etc). She did really good with that part. She pretty much remembered all of it and the book says not to expect kids her age to be able to recite more than one. (sorry, *proud mama moment* 
)
I go at 4:30 to get my results from the MRI. I am trying not to be nervous but it's hard. I know that logically there probably isn't anything wrong, but the neurotic part of me is telling me otherwise. My dad said he takes a B-vitamin supplement and that helps his anxiety. He gave me some to try but I don't know if you can take extra B on top of a multi-vitamin. I googled it but haven't found many results. If anyone knows anything about this let me know!
Anyways, I'm about to take the girls to my mom's house to eat lunch!
