Tuesday, July 24th

I am always happy on Tuesday night when I remind myself that Jacob only has one more long day of work, and then I get him for 4 days straight. It isn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but the days are definitely long when he doesn’t get home until 9:30pm. I didn’t work out this morning because I had to shower instead. Easton had a dentist appointment at 2pm, and since I had greasy hair I had to wash it. With Logan being more needy these days, I can’t work out and shower (meaning wash my hair) on the same day if I have somewhere to be that day. He only takes two 2-hour naps, so I have to manage my time wisely. I don’t have anywhere to be the rest of the week, so I’ll be able to work out. I missed a couple days last week. And I don’t think I’m losing any weight which is so discouraging when I’m trying so hard. Curse my short and stocky genetics. Why can’t I just be naturally thin?

Easton did so well at the dentist. He had to get a tooth pulled that got infected after it had a big filling done on it. I don’t know how the tooth got a cavity in the first place since we were religious flossers right around then. Anyway, he doesn’t whine or cry or make a peep once he hits the dental chair and realizes that he’s numb and can’t feel anything. It’s only the apprehension before we actually go to the appointment that kills him. All the ladies in the office just rave about how cute he is and how cute his accent is (he can’t say his R’s) whenever we go in. He’s a very good patient. Throw in his dashing good looks and charm, and he’s an office favorite.

Mom Edgel watched the younger two while we were at our appointment. Once we got home, Logan woke up from his nap, I started dinner, and the boys hung out watching TV until I suggested we go for a walk. They like their walks, and Mr. Logan was all smiles and cute little faces as I pushed him along in the stroller. It’s still so dang hot out there, even after the sun has gone behind the mountain.  But I don’t mind because all the children are happy, so that makes me happy too. All the world is right when your children are content. Logan was happier today, too, and he’s been sleeping 11-13 hours a night, so we are pretty darn good friends these days. Sure love these sweet little faces.
