Saturday

Saturday Aaron and I had D&D, then I watched a couple hours of Monk with D14. I had been going to take her to an amusement park, but they were under 14 feet of water (but still open). We went out to Olive Garden, then I became super tired (sleeping disorder) and just lay on the couch. I couldn’t even read to IL5 before bed, but he didn’t think to ask. Maybe he saw I was tired. He was actually very good at bedtime.

Sunday

Sunday I worked in the afternoon. Then we had family day and watched Resident Alien.

Monday

Monday, Aaron’s sister Kate was in town, so the kids and I went bowling with her family. IL5 really enjoyed learning to bowl. The older kids enjoyed seeing their cousins. In the evening, we went out to a “gaming restaurant” which had pinball machines and arcade games. It was a fun time.

Tuesday

Tuesday, D14 had a virtual appointment, then I went to work. In the evening, my friend Liz was over and we watched Inception with dad and the kids. Aaron was at a Twins game with his sister Kate.

Wednesday

Wednesday started with an appointment for D14. Then I had lunch with dad and ran errands. Feeling super tired, I took a nap with four cats. In the evening, Aaron grilled.

Thursday

On Independence Day it was raining. I cleaned some rooms (avoiding IL5’s room because it’s overwhelming). The family played M12’s game The Goonies: Never Say Die. The rules made it seem scarier than it was. It was fairly easy and fun. It’s a progressive game, with 5 sessions. In the evening, Aaron and I watched Supernatural. We’re on season 15. That’s only taken 6.5 years.

Friday

Friday I took IL5 to his speech therapy and then we went to the pool with M12. They really enjoyed themselves, but M12 wanted to leave before IL5 was ready. After dinner, I read to D14.
