The Po Show

Company

It's been strange this week, getting back into the swing of things, since I've only been by myself one day (Monday). On Tuesday, Tessa was home sick and Ross had his surgery. I had to leave her at home and quickly drop him off, and then later quickly pick him up, rather than waiting at the surgery center as I'd planned.

On Wednesday, we had freezing rain in the morning, so Matthew's school was cancelled and Tessa was on a two hour delay. Ross was at home, trying to work on his laptop with his leg propped up on a Pilates ball and frozen peas on his knee.

On Thursday, Tessa was home sick again (continuing her two week pattern of getting better, overdoing it, then feeling sick again). Ross was at home, again trying to work, giving himself a blinding headache because he couldn't find the info he needed on the 'net. He still managed to write two papers (one of which will result in about $50K for the firm) and about four proposals. So he was deep into Work Like a Dog, the home game.

Today, Tessa has the day off (someone please explain to me why they scheduled a Superintendent's Conference Day, which means no school for the kids, during the very first week back from break).

So it's been a week of kids' shows and the sounds of video games being played, and a bunch of people incessantly asking me to get them stuff. In other words, it was like a holiday or weekend, only not. I've been happy to have the company, but it was kind of odd.
