A day off!

I woke to rain on my roof last night, a sound I haven't heard in a while and also a sign that spring is coming. Sure, we may get more snow and cold but the first rainfall also means that the end is in sight. Finally.

Of course, we woke up this morning to it raining ice balls :p We were pelted by them loading into the van to drive the Busy Little B to school so when I got home again I told the Super Kid I'd drive him to school rather than him getting pelted walking to the bus stop and waiting. Iz, William, and I ran an errand and then back home to enjoy the warmth of being inside out of the sleet :p

Usually Miss Iz has OT on Mondays so we pick up the Busy Little B but the scheduler at the rehab center was able to change her time slot to Tuesdays when we are already there for B. YAY!! One less trip per week and now I only have to entertain W in the waiting room instead of having two of them on two different days :p B will ride the bus home so no trip to school, either. I'm liking this ;)

We do still have to go out tonight, though--the Super Kid has parent teacher conferences. That ought to be fun with all four in tow ;)

We might have another leftie!

W's new OT, Miss K, has been watching his hand choices and while he's still young, she's thinking he might be a leftie (the Super Kid is.  I think I was supposed to be left-handed as well because I remember getting in trouble in school for using my left and having to switch to using my right whenever a teacher looked my way).  A lot of the time he will begin tasks with his left and then switch to the right when his left gets tired.  We are gently encouraging left hand use to building up his strength and stamina so when he does choose to do a task left-handed, he can continue to use it instead of having to switch.  I have an aunt who is ambidextrous so maybe he'll be one of the ones who can use both :p  The Super Kid and I can both write with both hands--its a skill he had to develop when he broke his left arm (twice in one year, a few months apart) and I've never lost the ability to write left-handed.

We had a busy afternoon of errands--post office, gas, groceries, household goods.  I didn't get to everything I needed to before it was time to meet the Busy Little B getting off the bus yesterday so at some point today I will need to take everyone out with me to get a few things done.  At minimum I need to pick up meds at the pharmacy because the seizure meds are running low.
