Monday was Zack's middle school orientation...that day parents went too. Tuesday was 6th grade orientation- just for the students! Monday was cool and fun. And a bit emotional and sentimental. How did I have a middle schooler? Already?! His teachers are amazing (I requested this team of teachers) and a lot of his good friends are in there too. Plus a bunch of my friend's daughters. In fact, his locker is surrounded by these cute girls! No worries at this point, though....he said to me, "why does my locker have to be by all of those girls? Why couldn't I have my locker be my this boy, or this boy, or that boy?" Lol, we're safe on the girl front....for now!
Z and I only got in one minor tiff at orientation....he has a real locker with a combination lock on it....he is left-handed, and kept turning it left first. Lol, how many of you remember it's right, left and then right again?! He didn't want to listen to ol' mom, who has been there, done that with the lockers and combo locks a million times. Oy! Anyways, so on Tuesday I asked him if he went and found his locker and practiced his combo again. His response? "No, I couldn't remember where my locker was!" Oh dear, it's gonna be a long year!
And I snuck in a wonderful pedicure on Tuesday.
Wednesday Jacob had his follow-up derm appt for his weird skin rash. Now it looks like his rash is actually this pretty rare thing...called pityr.iasis rub.ra pilar.is. Google image it- you'll get to see what my poor son is dealing with. :( He has been seeing a general dermatologist in my small town. I decided to take him to see the peds dermatologist down in Phoenix. He is thee guru of peds derm- I'm so excited I got an appt for Jacob on August 15th with him! I thought it would be like January before they could get him in. I met this doctor in my internship...when I was doing my inpatient peds rotation- he consulted on this baby girl with a skin condition...he knew what it was right away. I just want him to see Jacob at least once to absolutely make sure this is what he has. The dermato.pathologist read the skin biopsy as "psoria-form"....not straight up psori.asis. So I started thinking it wasn't psor.iasis. Anyways, I'll keep you posted.
Then my 5 year old went to his friend's house for a playdate with a couple other friends from their preschool. So cute! And my middle son ended up getting invited to stay for the playdate too!
Zack went to a birthday party sleepover on Wed-Thurs. Then on Thursday I got to take him to the doctor to get his 11 year old immunizations for school. Not fun at all. My baby girl didn't even cry the last time I took her to get immunizations! Anyways, on Monday I'm going to take a copy of his shot record book to school and then I'm gonna have him find his locker and open the lock. I don't want any surprises on the first day of middle school!
Friday I took the kids to a playdate with a bunch of my friends and their kids. Zack went to another birthday party last night.
Today D is taking my oldest two sons plus my parents to the Diamond.backs game. That team has been on fire lately! They won 10-0 last night!
And in the afternoons this week, my kids have been going to this fun class at the local community college- they do these college for kids classes in the summer- so fun!
My week- does it sound exhausting to you? This is my life, every single week! There was more stuff to occupy my time, too. These were just the highlights!
One more week of summer vacation left, and my kids start school on August 5th. I will have a 6th grader, 3rd grader, and a kindergartener. Amazing! It will just be Cami and me during the days all week.
Oh- I almost forgot...the update on D's sister in law. Since she deleted me on FB and D is never on FB, we don't get a lot of updates, and not in a timely fashion. My BFF told me the SIL posted a pic from the hospital.... she had another brain surgery. His brother texted my hubby yesterday (yes- texted, not even worthy of a phone call!) about the surgery...acting as if we knew she was even having surgery! What the?!?! Ummm sorry buddy, I think you skipped a few steps. The surgery went well, and they're just waiting on the pathology results.
OK moving on to other topics....I get to go away in August for 2 different girls' weekend getaways down to resorts in Scotts.dale! YAY! Much needed after the back-to-school frenzy. And another friend is having a 40th bday celebration up here on one of those weekends that I have to miss cuz I'll be at the girls' weekend getaway! Bummer!
I swear that Cambria now says "this" and "that"! So cute! More like "dis" and "dat", but whatever! I sent in the form to get her amended birth certificate this week. And then I can order her a social security card. And then everything will be all done with regards to the adoption. She turned 10 months this week. What a wonderful 10 months it has been having her in our family. We are all absolutely so smitten and so in love with her. :)
