Meeting with the counselor
Yawn! Good morning! I went to Golds for the muscle mix class but was too worn out after that to stay for the Step class. I only got ~4-5 hours of sleep last night and it's catching up with me now. There was a minor issue with one of the kids last night about half past midnight and it took me a while to fall back asleep afterwards.
Michelle is out at home improvement stores with Abby and Timothy looking for fixtures for the upstairs bathrooms when they get updated next week. (new flooring, mirrors, lighting, etc.) My dreams of a dual person shower in the master bathroom (oo-la-la!) are dashed as there isn't sufficient water pressure in the line to sustain two shower heads in the same stall.
Interesting! The naked mole rat (insert Kim Possible joke here...) is the only multicellular animal species that does not develop cancer. (related link)
Michelle and I are back from a long meeting with Dr. Monaco, clinical neuropsychologist, who has been testing the twins for the past few months. It's nice to have some documented conclusions and recommendations. They'll be re-evaluated in a couple of years and for now the schools have what they need to get the services they'll need to apply. I'm glad that my insurance plan was generous enough to cover it all. QC does have excellent health care benefits, some of the best of my past 21 years of engineering work.
Wrapping up dinner with the family at TGIFriday's in Amherst.
Back home from dinner. In between ordering and food delivery, I took the boys next door to GameStop to pick up Phineas and Ferb Ride Again for the Nintendo DS. Last week Timothy had finished the first game on his DS. When we got back I logged into my insurance to check on claims regarding my car.
I bought three songs for Just Dance 2. "Barbie Girl", "Kung Fu Fighting", and "Maniac". It's kind of amusing watching my aerobics instructor wife try to dance along to "Maniac".
Picked up Claire from the Amato Center. She volunteered to help with her high school's Valentine's jazz performance by assisting with food prep and serving. Good night all!
