• I woke up this morning and discovered that I'm truly a pretty bad mother. I was raising the blinds in the living room, when Whitman popped his head from a chair and chipperly said, "hey, Mom!" Turns out the boy had stayed up all night long. He was so proud of himself, and he was so wide awake! Before Robby and I had left the house he had already started on his school work for the day. 
• Robby dropped me off at Grannymom's house this morning. He went on to his doctor's appointment-he has a frozen shoulder. He also had a steroid shot today and will start going to PT next week. 
• When Robby's appointment was over, Grannymom dropped me off at the hospital for my colonoscopy. It wasn't too bad at all-of course, yesterday was the worst part. When it was all over, I was still a bit dizzy. When Robby had finished his last year, he wanted to go to Sams to eat pizza. I would not have been able to walk that far at all. Now, I was able to request a hamburger and gobbled that up when I got home.
• Robby eventually headed off to run some errands at about the same time that Anderson left to go and play basketball with Graham and some other guys. I napped this afternoon a bit, but so did Whitman. I think that he went to sleep pretty soon after we left this morning. I woke up him around 4, but it took me a while to actually finally wake him up. 
• Robby sped home to pick up the girls to take them to babysit for a few hours. Then he hung out with the boys until it was time to drop off the car (white van-working on the air this time) and pick up the girls. 
• Reagan worked today and was home for about 20 minutes before she left again with Kennedy. They went to eat and then to a friend's house. She said that there were a lot of meeting at church today that she had to go to, but I know that she is enjoying seeing all of her friends from home this summer.
• I had supper ready when Robby and everyone else came home (Graham is still house sitting). I thought that it was pretty decent, but my supper ratings were Ds from the girls and B- from the boys (Anderson and Whitman are just a like in that they will tell me whatever they think will make me happy so I can't really trust their ratings.)
