Sigh and deep sadness. Summer is officially over for me. I had a pretty good week to end it all though. On Monday, Grandma Sue graciously offered to spend her day off with my so I did't have to in to work with mom. I dodged a bullet on that one, eh? We went out to breakfast, watched the olympics, went to a movie and did a little shopping. Waaaay better than putting stickers on charge sheets and filing charts. Plus, mom makes me take the stairs at work- that stinks.
On Tuesday, I went to horse camp for a day at Tanque Verde Ranch. I met a really nice girl from Germany and spent the afternoon telling her and her mom about how my mom and dad abandoned me two years ago to go to Germany by themselves and how I really want to go there.
Wednesday and Thursday, I had a nanny come stay with me and both of them were super fun. The first one played games all day, went swimming and played with Ginger. We didn't turn the TV on once- score for her! On Thursday, with the other nanny, we made cookies and played games but then I started to not feel well. I had been fighting a cold all week and it finally took over on Thursday and then my kind of loose tooth really started to hurt. She took super good care of me, making me a smoothie because it hurt too much to eat and just generally being really nice. Mom managed to get off work a little early and made it home to check things out. My sore tooth definitely concerned her so she made a call to the dentist and they had me come in right away. On the drive there, mom was especially proud of herself because usually she and dad wait until midnight to decide I need medical intervention and then we end up in the ER at 2 in the morning for bad constipation. But I digress. Anyway, I ended up getting my tooth pulled because the dentist said there was an infection starting. It wasn't that bad because the tooth was loose anyway. And then mom told him I wasn't really flossing my teeth anymore. Busted. I did feel better after that though.
Friday was the day of reckoning. It was the first day of 5th grade. I still didn't feel very good but mom made me go to school anyway and I'm kind of glad she did. It ended up being a good day and I like my teacher. One of my two best friends is in my class so that worked out well.
While I was feverishly slaving away in school, mom and dad were living it up. Dad was out playing golf with Uncle Brian and then mom met them both at Prep and Pastry for brunch. Uncle Brian is an investor in the restaurant so he treated so it was even better. They make amazing cocktails and really good food. This is dad enjoying a Thai Fighter and mom enjoying a mimosa. It was a sleepy afternoon for all of us.....
On Saturday, my friend Madeline had her party for her 10th birthday. We've known each other since before we were born! Crazy, huh? I had a fabulous time there and was kind of pushing for a sleepover even though I still didn't feel great. Buzz kill mom put the kabash on that.
Sunday was another busy day. Grandpa Vern and Grandma Sue came over for breakfast and then they took me out to play miniature golf.
Dad is heading out to Boston for work for the week tomorrow so it's just mom and I holding down the fort. Wishing everyone a great week!
