I worked from home today. I am loving the slower pace. We went to Arby's for dinner and then Karen bought bar stools that have a back. Ww put them together. They are so nice. Karen almost beat the high score again tonight so close. We watch Facebook for an hour and then figured we were watching the wrong video. That made me so mad. Rachel if you need anything while casey is gone we can help. Everyone drive safe tomorrow. See you at Fujii. Love mom

Friday
Casey left today. He has made it to LA and started his 14 hour plane ride to Australia. We are going to miss him a lot. It snowed a lot here today. The kids loved and played outside all afternoon. Work went well. I have food classes on Friday. The kitchen island came today but I am going to wait to assemble it until Casey gets back. Oliver and Ruth did really well at the piano recital. The video is still on Facebook if you would like to watch it. We went and got hot chocolate afterwards to warm up. The van doors froze shut so everyone had to go in the front door. We will see you tomorrow for lunch
Love Rachel

Thursday
Casey is leaving for Australia tomorrow and I am super jealous. I hope he has a good time. We went to dinner at Tandoori Oven to send him off. After school Isaac had chamber music practice and the little kids had piano lessons. They are doing a twelve days of Christmas at school and they had a soda bar which was fun. I am glad that Dad is doing well and getting some rest. I got some little hands at book group last night and they are funny.

Thursday
I worked from home and it was nice to be with dad. He is doing really well. Feels hammered but that is to be expected. I made zuppa soup for dinner and that tasted good. I am going to work home tomorrow also. I really needed to just move slow. Luna still is pale. I am glad she felt better. I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. Good luck with casey and Australia. That is a long time. Love you all mom

Wednesday
I am glad that Dad's surgery went well and I hope it is an easy recovery. I had book group tonight and we do our favorite things gifts in December. It was so much fun and we laughed so much. It was a fun evening. School went well I hope, some classes go better than others. Isaac missed the bus this morning so I drove him to school.

Wednesday
I got up and went to work. I was so nervous about dad's surgery. I just did a lot of small tasks. I hooked up with Allison and took them to the gift shop and bought her daughter a present. We had a white elephant party for lunch and then I left and went home. They do the surgeries in these little rooms where they see patients. It felt like it wasn't a big deal but man I got to watch and it seemed like a big deal to me. The bone they took out was a lot bigger than I thought it would be. I watched them wrap the tendon around. It was a lot of work. Dad is going to be hurting. It was amazing how big they open the wound up. It made me think about what they did to Rachel's hand and how much that hurt. I am sorry Luna was sick. I hope she feels better soon. Karen won the milkshake tonight. I was beginning to think we would never break the record. It was fun. Rachel I hope all is going well. I can't believe casey will be in Australia by Friday. I am going to work from home the next two days. Just wanted to make sure dad is ok. Love mom
Wednesday
My day was good. Work was good but just the usual. I ordered grubhub for dinner since mom and dad had a busy day. Then I finally got high score on the pinball game me and mom were playing. So now mom owes me a milkshake. I am glad that the week is half over. I hope Luna feels better tomorrow. Bye

Tuesday
Work was busy. I got 13000 steps. It seemed later in the week than Tuesday. The lady I support found out her husband has terminal cancer. It was so upsetting. I worked on clearing her schedule for the week. I made garlic shrimp from Costco and it was really good. We went to Walmart to get a meat/cheese tray for a potluck tomorrow at work. I will leave after that and come get dad. His surgery is at 330. I will keep you posted. Robin that is weird they lay off one person for budget cuts. I hope you are OK. I hope this helps dad's hand. It has bothered him since the beginning of the summer. We did go to target and found a barbie bed set for luna. I am done with her Christmas present. Making progress. I am going to work from home in Thursday and Friday. I am getting done with work. Not much time left. Love you all mom
Tuesday
Good luck tomorrow Dad and Mom. I hope everything goes smoothly. Today was good. Work went well. Most of my day is prep and then I have three classes. Ruth had tumbling tonight. It was a fundraiser for Greenville at zupas so we went and had dinner there. Then we went to Fred Smith's and got some presents for my book group tomorrow. Love you guys.

Monday
I took dad to the doctor and he said his thumb was bone on bone. They are doing surgery on Wednesday. It just hurts him so much. I hope it is the right thing to do. He said he was so surprised he had ra. His hands don't have anything that ra hands would have. Guess.that is a good thing. I worked.from home.the rest of the day. I.am working in the office tomorrow and half day Wednesday. And then will work from home the rest of the week. Crazy. I am glad all us well. I hope Casey feels better soon. Love mom
Monday
My day was good. It was a Monday though so it did drag a bit. Just three weeks until Christmas. I am excited to play. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye
Monday
I am sorry Dad has to have surgery. I hope it helps his pain in his thumb and he recovers quickly. Today was good. I didn't work but had two meetings. One this morning and another after school. The one this morning was with the other specialist at my school and then the afternoon one was with all the computer specialist in the district. Casey didn't feel well so he worked from home. It was nice to have the day together. I went to exercise class this evening and I kept messing everything up. It was frustrating but I will do better next time. I also walked Tony this morning and that was nice. I need to do that more.

Sunday
I work up at 4 in a panic and it took me awhile to go back to sleep. Crazy. We went to Costco and got some shopping done and then hooked up with robins crew. It was fun. I got a nap and that felt nice. I am taking dad to the hand surgeon to have him look at his thumb. It makes me nervous for surgery. It just hurts him. I am going to work from home afterwards. We just got rain also. Crazy weather. Have a nice Monday. Love mom
Sunday
Thanks again for coming up yesterday. We had a fun day. Today was good. We went to church and Casey went to work. I took the kids up to Randy's and we hung out there until Casey was done with work. He made us potato soup so we came home and had that. It was raining this afternoon which made the kids sad that the snow would melt. Oliver made a snowman this morning before church. He loves the snow.
Love Rachel
