membership has its privileges

I am in the hospital room on one of the computers the staff uses. Since I have my passwords as a fellow employee I am posting because I can. Chandra is doing well, but wishes the nurses would increase the pitocin drip rate so we can get this show on the road. She is tired of running her "Nascar laps" around the unit with me pushing her IV pump/pole. Life is alright so far. Her mom informed us this morning that Chandra almost burned up the coffee maker. She dusted it off yesterday so her mom and dad would have some solice while here helping with the kids. She plugged it in, but didn't know the power switch was on. We even commented on the pleasant smell of the coffee beans yesterday not knowing that they were roasting. They roasted overnight and almost burned through the ziplock bag holding the grounds. The filters were crispy. Once all was said and done though, the report was that the coffee tasted wonderful....so the grounds were roasted to perfection, the maker didn't burn up, our house still stands. Anyway, some other trauma for the grandparents first morning on the job...Ethan had a bloody nose and Lexi wet the tent they were sharing during the night. They cleaned Ethan up and took him to preschool. There is more laundry to do today (after Chandra did 3 loads yesterday).
So far it has been the most eventful day without the main event.
