So today we woke up early to get ourselves organized and out the door by 8am. My hubby and I both being Massage Therapists, were taking a course together on Nociceptors and why people feel pain. I had to get the kids organized as my parents were watching them for the day. This meant organizing bottles, lunch, dinner, a list of nap/feed times and get them up with breakfast in their bellies. I also wanted to tidy the kitchen and empty the dishwasher, do my face, get dressed, do my hair, organize my INSANELY large mountain of food and fill a diaper bag incase they went out. Well we got it done and had a little bit of time to get some breaky in ourselves. I had two pouched eggs, a few pieces of smoked salmon and veggie.
We got away a little late but it was all good because we made it to our course with 10 minutes to spare. We popped in to a coffee shop and I decided that this morning I was going to try an iced coffee. I don't drink cofffe, I don't like coffee, but I felt I needed something. I haven't been working for 8 months ( because I"m on matleave after having my son), I haven't been to a course or school in a couple years and on top of that most of my days are filled with baby/toddler talk....this was going to be a tough day mentally.
We then headed up to the conference room to start the lecture. The talk started and within 30 minutes I could feel my brain starting to spin, but I hung tight and eventually what the lecturer was saying started to absorb. I drank about 3/4 of the coffee and had a bunch of carrot, pepper, and peas while the first half of the day was in session. At lunch break, I was so desperate to go to the washroom. I couldn't believe how much my pee smelt of coffee. It's like I had just brewed another pot! It was incredible. Something I've never experience because I don't drink coffee.
We joined some collegues for lunch as well as the lecturer. We went to Banana Leaf. The best thing on the menu I could find was a lettuce wrap and it was pretty good. I'm pretty sure it had soy sauce and sesame oil in it, but I figured that was pretty good compared to the other options. I didn't realize these ingredients were in it until I ate it. Looking back I could have asked them not to use either, I'll know for next time.
The lecture was done at 5pm and we were in a rush to get home, as my dad (Bubba) needed to catch a flight. My parents said the kids had been awesome all day. M had had one good nap and one ok nap which was great. They said he didn't cry at all and ate like a champ. S was great as well. I worried she might be cranky as she had had a late night the night before with Meme and Poppa.
Once Nana and Bubba had left we got the kids ready for bed. S was pretty easy to convince seeing as her first day of preschool is tomorrow and she's so excited! M fussed a little but fell asleep pretty quickly. Hubby and I sat down to a plate of left overs. We had ribs, roast, roast root veg and carrots/peppers. I had a blueberry seltzer which I really enjoyed and hubby's beer didn't bother me.
It is now 945pm. I am going to get S's stuff ready for her first day of preschool tomorrow and then I will call it a night. My brain hurts from all the information I tried to stuff in it today and I'm exhausted.
Here's to tomorrow Day 9.
