Well, I did have a post written around 10am this morning but I didn't copy it and lost it. augh

 

I'm so glad the party went well and you let go of perfectionism!! It's so much easier to have fun and relax that way, eh? Too bad I usually forget. Hanging out afterwards sounds fun too :) I love doing stuff like that though the couples I enjoy doing that most with aren't usually available or have lots of other plans so that kinda sucks.

 

Delaney pees maybe once every 2 weeks now at night. But, when she doesn't have one on, she usually pees. It's some sort of weird comfort thing. I notice when she's sick, she'll often pee. Not sure if it's cause her sleep pattern is totally messed up by coughing or if she sleeps deeper. She can fit into 3T-4T size which is crazy but means I'm not spending a ton and getting 10 pull-ups. We do reuse them if she doesn't pee though.

 

I haven't done much here. Gavin called his mom from school to say that he's sick. Now, I know him and Laura have been hacking and sniffling a lot this morning and yesterday so I somewhat expected that. She asked if I could take him (just around 10:30.) I said that me and Timmy weren't feeling the best and that I was just about to have a nap with him. Now, I wasn't feeling the best because I was wiped and tired and Timmy has been fussy because of his needles. Plus, do I need a kid here all day, coughing his germs around?! I still feel extremely bad and feel like I somewhat lied to her. I did nap with Timmy (though we had a snack first and it took a while to get him settled so it was more like 11:30.) I feel worse now though as I woke up with a headache!

 

Augh, I emailed Andrew and he said he probably would have taken him cause he'd be easier to handle on his own. Uh, yeah, a 10 yr old, at home with just a 19 month old. I think he needs to nap but there's no way I could make him nap. He'd want to play video games and be bored out of his mind. Yeah, that doesn't really sound appealing. Plus, I'm watching my friend's daughter Wed-Fri and then Mon-Thurs (Friday is a PD day and I'll have 5 extra kids so no break there!) so that means this is my last day to be lazy and not have extra kids around.

 

Gavin and Laura's mom hasn't taken off a day to be home with her sick kinds in the 1.5 yrs I've watched them. There was one day I had to take off because of an appt. and Laura ended up having pneumonia so surprisingly, her mom stayed at home with them then!

 

oh-oh, Timmy's getting into trouble and our late lunch should be cooled now. I have brownies in the oven and was going to make zucchini cake for snack but not sure I'll get there. If I don't, I'll pull out some frozen banana cookies.

 

I need a quick list:

-decide if I'm going to drive or walk (likely drive)

-put both strollers away, probably both in garage so we can clean out the trunk or take stuff to value Village tonight

-email Andrew, ask what his plans are for tonight? skating?

-do a quick search for skating in the area

-shake out table cloth, clear table

-finish up dishes

-quickly pick up lr and kitchen

-load into wash, bring up clean laundry if not too heavy

-start a procrastination list

-take hamb. meat out of freezer

-bathroom break

-cut up tomato, lettuce, cheese

-make zucchini cake?, take cookies out if I dont' get it done in time

-extra: finish cleaning upstairs bathroom, put diaper garbage bag together once I've wiped it out, bring red container downstairs

-put batteries into Lips mike
