YAWN.

Yep, still having to get up many times a night. And now with added migraines! Woohoo, we are having a time over here.

Happy belated Father's Day to Jeff, I wrangled the tots by myself in the morning to let him sleep in, then gave him several nap opportunities later in the day. I don't exactly recall Mother's Day going that way, but I did get dark chocolate covered pretzles. Then we went for the tots' first swim in the big pool, and even though the water was on the cool side, they enjoyed it.

In other news, they had bloodwork done Monday morning, and Cassie had a nice vein in her arm, no problem with the draw, and it was over in seconds. Carter wasn't so lucky. Our poor Golden Boy only yielded a bit from his arm vein, so the doctor tried to tap a vein in his scalp. Yes, his scalp. That didn't work, but it hurt him so much, I felt awful. Next they tried his foot, and they managed to get a teensy bit more, enough for the tests to be run. If I could have borne 1,000 times the pain for him, I would have done it. My poor baby. Thank god they don't remember that stuff! He was so brave, and even tried to smile after they finished. I gave him some white grape juice to soothe him, I wish I could have taken him for a hot fudge sundae.

OK, in between hundreds of appointments today (my dr. for tendinitis of the wrist - a tot-wrangling injury; both cats to the vet, my annual Gyn exam, etc.) I feel it is absolutely crucial that I get a nap. I'll leave you with some pictures.
