Almost back to normal today! Only two days of prednisone left for the poison ivy, and the wrist is feeling better! Just in time to, Number 2 has a lacrosse tournament this weekend, and Number 1 got a new job. Walked in to drop off a resume, interviewed immediately, and was offered a job on the spot. I have no idea what was wrong with the wrist yesterday, but it is shaping up to be a good weekend. We also have a bonus quote today, this is a good one that I think we all need to hear, and not just one of the kiddos!
As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids’ lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get a handwritten napkin.
