Plus a PJ video
Him: Can we go for bike or scooter ride?
Me: Absolutely!
When I got back from our trip, I really wanted to spend some time with the kid so, on the first sunny day we were able to, we hopped onto my scooter and went down the Hudson River Greenway.
Ended up at the Pier 97 playground, where the kid immediately made some friends and did his thing.
Unfortunately, the whole time, he was complaining about pain in his leg, which I found stressful.
This was further exacerbated by the fact that A-MIL told me that, while my kid was with her, he was complaining about pain the entire time.
So, the next day, I took him to urgent care in the morning to get an extra in his leg just to rule out anything like that.
My friend Nikki, Bryson’s wife, is a pediatrician and she told me that it was most likely growing pains but, with my history and bad luck, I wasn’t taking any chances.
Unfortunately, the x-ray tech never showed up so the kid went to school, and we had to come back later that day.
But, alls well that ends well, it was exactly as Nikki said: growing pains.
Me: Heya, the x-rays were totally normal. The doc we spoke to agreed with your assessment that it’s most likely growing pains, although he’s never seen it quite this bad. Anywho, thanks, as always, for entertaining alla my ridic questions.
Her: Hooray! So glad X-rays were negative and you got some peace of mind.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I found this cute little video of Sara during the pajama night that always makes me laugh
We had eaten so well on that cruise, and I broke my “no carbs” rule so often that all I wanted was some New York City pizza once we got back.
Traveling’s great and all, but – really – there’s no place like home.
Mostly.
Her: What?
Me: (looking at receipt) This was almost $16 for two slices of pizza and a coke.
Her: (shrugging) That’s normal. We’re back in New York.
Me: Looks like we’ll have to rob a bank later.
Location: back in the grind
Mood: irritated
Music: we’re just made that way, made to brave the pain (Spotify)
