Is this week over yet?

Needless to say, it's been a long week... Yesterday was a long day and I was actually in bed earlier than Peter! I had Daniel and Lucas' yearly checkups in the morning and I was getting frustrated with the dr because he didn't want to do the blood test for Celiac disease. I did get him to order it (he was doing blood tests anyway for lead) and the boys were troopers. Daniel did freak out a little but once the needle was in, he was fine. Lucas didn't even flinch. He's so tough. He was more worried about the sticker that he wanted. haha :) We were at the dr's for nearly 2 HOURS!!! We spent so much time waiting, it was ridiculous! First you wait to go to the back, then you wait FOREVER in the little back room trying to keep the kids out of the cupboards, then you wait for the nurse to come back, then you wait in the waiting room for the lab nurse to call you back, then for another nurse to help hold the kids still, then FINALLY we were outa there. By that time the kids were tired and hungry, therefore cranky. Poor Kimberly missed her nap again, but was still happier than I expected her to be.

After all that, we headed to Costco for a few groceries. We bumped into some people from church and Daniel looked at me after they walked away and said to me "Mom, what was Jakey's grandma doing here?" haha He was so serious too. I was going to stop at Family fare or Meijer for the rest of the groceries, but as soon as the van started moving, Kimberly fell asleep and I was starting to feel a migraine coming, so we just headed home. Caleb was at Grandpa and Grandma's house, so I just called Peter to get him to pick him up on his way home.

Today is looking like another long day. Peter has been really busy this week, so that makes for long days without him. In a way it's good that he's busy, but in a way it's not. We have been letting the boys take turns "helping" dad after supper outside, so that they can actually see him, and it makes getting kids in bed a little easier on me. How they love to help! The down side of that is they don't sleep in any later than normal when they're up late, so they get grumpy.

Now I have to finish up with laundry for the week, and get some extra cleaning done. Sure hope nobody drops by today! haha
