Rainy and Miserable in Darien

Sunny Sunday

An ugly day here, gray, lots of rain, but Beth seems to be doing well enough with her surgery.  She slept the night, with help of pain killers, and now it's just a matter of managing the pain for the next four or five days until her gums heal enough to be back to normal.  I just dropped Marisa off at school; she's excited because she is getting donuts in music class.

The kids lives are very busy; Mitch has lacrosse tonight, Marisa had gymnastics on Tuesday and Thursdays, and Tyler has a work out each day.  It's a busy day for all, especially Rami who gets home about 7:00 and has to leave again at 7:00 in the morning, in time to drop Tyler off for his ride to Fairfield.  We had a stir fry last night; unfortunately, the kids did not like the veggies in it, just the pork, and we got out the naan, to fill them up.  Tonight, it's Cincinnati chili for all.  Let's hope they like it.

I am going to head to a bookstore today, toward Norwalk, as it's too rainy to walk.  Cody has been following me around, wanting to take our constitutional...not yet.

We are waiting for Marisa to come home, early again, at 12:55, then Evie and she are going to make Mrs. Snavely's coffee cake for dessert tonight or tomorrow mornings breakfast.  I had to go out and find  a devil's food cake pan so now we are ready.

Well, it actually cleared up this afternoon some, so it was nice enough for Mitch to practice and for me to take Cody for a walk.  Marisa and Evie made the kuchen, Grandma Gigi's recipe from Mrs. Snavely and the boys devoured it tonight, after a dinner of chili with cornbread.  Marisa's now in bed, the boys are doing homework, and Beth's reading.
