At breakfast Shelby told me her chair never charged last night despite me having the powerchair charger plugged in to both her chair and the outlet. So, after she finished eating, Shane grabbed her manual chair from the garage, I transferred Shelby into her manual plus all her misc. stuff - backpack, mister, spray bottle, lunch, etc then Shane looked like a mini mechanic and went underneath to try to get the seat belts to where they needed to be and I grabbed a screwdriver to try to pry the chest strap buckle in the back to do my best to tighten the straps. This chair doesn't have foot straps but I tried plan B. Didn't work. I told Shelby where I was putting the screwdriver (in her backpack) to which she told me it's against the rules. I told her they didn't apply to us! ;) For the record - I completely agree with not bringing tools/weapons to school, however, Shelby's one of the few kiddos in a wheelchair...rules are made to be broken! Baby was patiently waiting for a bottle during this fiasco which was extra rushed since the bus arrival was moments away. I then pushed Shelby out to the bus driver in all my crazy haired glory (I hadn't had time to fix my hair yet due to the morning's wacky chain of events)
Shane left soon after for school and Baby drank his much awaited bottle and eventually took a nap - just in time for me to zoom through the house and do dishes, laundry, bible study, my hair, some computer stuff via my phone and get the family room ready for the vision specialist to arrive.
She was AMAZED at Baby's progress since the last time she was over. I had to wake the poor guy up for Barbara's visit but he did incredible - so, so proud!!
He fell asleep in my arms at the end of her visit so after she left, we got in the car, picked up my Grandma and went to the nearest mall for her to buy some jeans. Her breathing hasn't been the best so we took it easy. I did as much work as I could. While she tried on her jeans, I had a phenomenal talk with two ladies about a child recently adopted who was also a victim of a mom who has a drug addiction (like Baby's biomom). This child had a happy ending. I can't wait for "our" precious little guy's happily ever after!!! This afternoon I was able to schedule a pulmonology appt.
Grandma and I drove to pick up some lunch (took 15 minutes - oops, so much for trying to hurry her back home) and ate then Baby and I drove home.
Shane brought home a new shuffle and a $25 app gift card + a front of the line pass for lunch tomorrow - he was thrilled!!
Shelby brought home her newspaper report - she received 595/600!!!
Steve came home, grabbed Kona (poodle) and Shane and off they went to have her double ear infection checked.
I tried a familiar recipe with a cute twist for dinner, Shelby and I watched "Push Girls" - a new show about 4 ladies who use wheelchairs, Shane charged his shuffle and downloaded some songs, I gave Shelby a shower, Baby a bath, we did bible study and prayers, kids went to bed and now I'm trying to play computer catch up and next is dishes duty.
