1. I had 3 children puking at 1am. Donald and Mattie were actually sick and Kira just joined in for fun.
2. The 2 sickies proceeded to puke until 6am.
3. Then the baby started at 10am.
4. It’s been a rockin’ day!
5. I’m hopeful that it is over. The linens are being washed, the dishes are in the sink and the kids are in the tub. We are on our way to being germ-free. After they go to bed I’m going to party with my can of Lysol.
6. On top of it all I think Nolan has an ear infection. I made him an appointment for tomorrow.
7. I hope Donald will feel well enough to go back to school tomorrow. He’s missed a lot of school because we were in Ohio and I would like to conserve his sick days.
8. Because of my sick kids, I was very productive. I washed some dishes, did 5 loads of linens and some clothes, cleaned ½ the girls room and packed 2 boxes of toys and washed the girls’ bedding.
9. I am in need of a shower and I think I forgot to eat dinner. I always forget about me when the kids are sick.
10. I’m thankful for my friend who delivered some groceries. The kids always get sick when we’re out of milk.
11. Sitting in my office chair, I’m now realizing how tired I really am.
12. I have to remember to throw away toothbrushes when I’m done blogging.
13. I took all the trash out of the house today. I will be a miracle if I actually remember to take it to the curb tonight.
14. So much for my “day old” hair looking good. I seriously look like I’ve been in bed for a week. Don’t I wish!
15. I completely deserve a whole day to myself when Don comes home. He better take the kids out so I can veg.
16. My husband is slowly becoming agoraphobic. He hates to go anywhere crowded. I’ll have better luck winning the lottery than getting my husband to take the kids out of the house.
17. I love listening to the girls play in the tub. They always sound so grown up.
18. I love it when Donald tells Nolan “That is unacceptable”, when he scolds him.
19. Nolan has been trying to tell me what to do. If I pick up his diaper to throw it away, he grabs my hand and takes me to the trashcan and points to it. If I take the bag out of the trashcan, he grabs my hand, takes me to the back door and points to the trashcans. He’s becoming quite the big boy!
20. He is also a sorter. He knows what bucket all of the toys go in his room.
21. Kira and Nolan were watching Alvin and the Chipmunks to day and Nolan was trying to dance like them.
22. It amazes me that toddlers can be sick, throw up and magically feel great. I usually feel like crap all day long.
23. It was 65 degrees today. I had all the doors and windows open. I can’t wait for spring!
24. I’m hoping the cherry trees will still be blooming when we move to MD. It smells so great in D.C. in the spring!
25. Well, here’s hoping for a puke-free, productive tomorrow. *Chug the rest of my water*.
