Day of Final Post Adoption Visit

I was off work today for Veteran's Day - no husband, no kids.  I get two days like this per year.  I never accomplish as much as I want to on these days.

Today I:

• took the kids to school
• rushed home to get Hank to the vet by 9:00 for his annual shots and to have them check a new lump he has on his belly (couldn't confirm or rule out a new tumor, we'll just be watching it to see if it grows any more)
• cleaned the kitchen, loaded the dishwasher and ran it
• sorted through and somewhat organized paperwork
• went to Walgreen's to buy shampoo, cough drops, toothbrushes, etc.
• drove thru Mickey D's for lunch
• came home, fed the dogs, gave them pills from the vet to kill fleas, took them outside and then back in
• put stuff in the bread machine to make bread for dinner
• cleaned the downstairs bathroom
• unloaded the dishwasher and started dinner
• left to go pick the kids up from school
• came home and continued getting dinner ready
• our social worker Nikki came over for our final post-adopt report (showed her how to make lasagna while we talked)
• Tim came home, finished post-adopt visit
• ate dinner
• kids did homework and listened to each read for a little bit
• watched Andy Griffith DVD Tim got from the library while checking my eBay auctions and researching items for my next auctions
• turned off TV to go start showers
• checked dogs for fleas (only found dead ones, yay!)
• hugged and kissed everyone goodnight
• downloaded picture for blog

Here is a picture of Nikki and the kids on our last visit.  Tonight, I still need to make lunches for tomorrow and get myself ready for bed.

I really need a day like this about once a week, just to stay caught up... but I get 2 per year.
