Sick Rachel and Meet the Teacher

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I got up this morning and began to work.  The phone rang and it was Rachel using her cell phone from our room.  She had had such a bad coughing fit that she was light headed.  I brought her something to drink and her medicine.  She called the doctor's office to see what to do and they said the chest x-ray revealed that there was a small infection in part of her lungs so she does have pneumonia.  The nurse said the doctor would call back with more information.

I realized Rachel wasn't in a position to go get the last two things needed for Evan to go to bring to his classroom.  We had a big list of school supplies to get.  So I drove over to Target.  It was packed with people looking for the exact same things.  I got Evan the journal he needed but not the pencils.  The list was extremely specific, down to the brand.  So I ended up having to go to Office Depot as well.  I also picked up a notebook for Noah for his class.

When I got home, Rachel was downstairs.  She was able to get lunch for the boys and eat some stuff herself.

Evan, Noah and I got to Evan's school at 3pm to meet the teacher.  We walked the trail as usual.  I refused to park out front where every parent was going to park.  In fact, we would have ridden our bikes but we had to go to HEB afterwards to pick up a stronger antibiotic for Rachel and some prescription cough medicine.

Evan's classroom was very nice and bright and his teacher seemed very nice.  She shook Evan's hand when he got there and gave him a hug as he was leaving.  We bumped into some other families that we know.  It was good to see everyone again.

When we got to HEB the medicine wasn't ready.  I had called before we left to go to Evan's school to tell them when I was going to pick up the medicine.  The boys and I had to wait for 30 minutes.  I was not very happy.

I did some more work when I got home and then I went out and picked up food for us.  Rachel wanted something from Galaxy Cafe and I picked up a pizza for the boys and me.

While I was gone, Evan watched some movie about the first Mexican Little League team that won the Little League World Series.  Now Evan is determined to make it to the Little League World Series.  So after dinner, he and I went outside and played some baseball.

I put them to bed but somehow both kids are in the office with me.  I'm not sure how that happened.

Until next time...
