Saturday

Last night was Monty's first trip out of town since his surgery. I was a little nervous about him being gone overnight. I have grown quite use to the loud ticking of his mechanical heart valve. When I wake up in the middle of the night I can hear it and know that he is okay. I was worried that I would wake up to silence and panic before remembering that he wasn't even home. Fortunately that didn't happen because I slept all night -well what was left of it. I didn't go to bed until 2am. I called Monty as soon as I woke up at 7:30 to check on him before going back to sleep. The girls are insisting that I take them shopping today. I am not much of a shopper. I like to walk in the store, grab what I need, and leave. Makenzie is pretty much the same way. On the other hand, Makayla is a browser. She likes to walk and look at everything, takes forever to make up her mind, feels rushed by her sister and I, and ends up frustrated at us. We'll see what the day holds and if I cave in to the whining about going shopping. I am thinking that I would much rather stay in my pajamas all day and do absolutely nothing.
