Mid-week update

Three weeks after getting his fingers caught in the treadmill and Ryan is doing great. We had a visit with the specialist today and they say he's healing well. The new skin is a bit dry and we will treat that by massaging vitamin E oil on his fingers for the next two weeks. Our final appointment with the hand specialist is Dec. 17. Yay!

Today was much more productive than yesterday. I managed to sort through the huge mess of toys we've collected and put some in the attic (back where they came from because they were Adam's or his brother's when they were little), in a bag to go to Vin and Kris' house for toys to play with there, and in the toy box here. The place looks so much better now and my mother-in-law will have a place to put the Christmas tree in the coming weeks.

I am not looking forward to Friday when I work at 5 a.m. I'll be home just after the kids are getting their breakfast. Lucky me! Adam will then leave for work and probably won't be home till 8 p.m. At least him having to work Black Friday means extra money in his paycheck. Yay for extra money!

But first comes Thanksgiving where we will spend the holiday with Adam's family and then with some of our friends. The family part will be as it is every year so I am mostly looking forward to the friends part. I am looking forward to something different and new. I liked that when we celebrated Thanksgiving at home we always shared it with someone else. We always had guests. It was fun to have a different person each year. At college the first year we were married we hosted all of our friends for a special dinner. It was great! I hope when we're back to living on our own that we will continue that tradition.

And just a few more days and NaBloPoMo will be over! Yay! I've had fun posting, but have had difficulty finding the time to post each day. Tonight I am lucky that Tim is already sleeping and that Adam is home spending time with Ryan.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone.
