What A Week!


Last Saturday, Eldest went to a local amusement park with kids from her Summer Camp. She had a great time but ended up getting back an hour and a half later than planned. We were all exhausted by the time we got home and I got everyone into bed as soon as possible.

Skip ahead to 2:30a. The Boy comes into my room and asked to get into bed with me. I let him for a few minutes and then sent him back to his room. I saw the light in the bathroom come on and knew he'd gone in there. All of a sudden I hear, "MOM! I'M PUKING!" ICK! I'll spare the rest of the details, but I will tell you that I didn't have a mess to clean up. Whew!

Monday evening the kids came home from the Ex's house. The Youngest wasn't feeling well: fever, sore throat, chills....sigh. I took her to the doc's on Tuesday and she has been placed on antibiotics. She'll see an ENT next month.

I honestly don't know where people get the impression that children don't share. Youngest shares her germs just fine. Today was my turn to go to the doc's to get meds. I did manage to make it into work but didn't stay for long. Came home and slept the afternoon away. I love my pillow!

All in all I really can't complain about the week. I made it through Wednesday relatively unscathed. More on that later.

I Just Wanna Watch TV!


For whatever reason, my satellite receiver has been "skipping". I called the company and they said they would have to replace the receiver. I got the replacement the other day and decided to hook it up tonight. What should have taken ten minutes ended up taking an hour! I missed the first 5 minutes of Supernatural but eventually got the thing working. GO ME! And the Customer Service Rep who stayed on the phone with me!

Meanwhile, Eldest is in my bathroom cleaning her ears. We recently got her ears pierced again. The Youngest got her ears pierced too. I've been cleaning The Youngest's earrings for obvious reasons but tonight Eldest decided she could do it. Nothing can be easy though. The Youngest comes running in the living room screaming: "Eldest can't get my earrings back in and she says the holes are closing up!" After calming The Youngest down, I eventually got her earrings back into her ears. Crisis averted!

So now I'm relaxing...listening to XMen 3 in the background with Mutt at my feet. Life's good!
