Really, we're doing nothing for the superbowl, we likely won't even watch a bit of it but it's relevant for today!

 

Dh has been in bed all day. He helped a ton on Friday so I'm glad I can wait on him today and return the favour. He rarely gets sick but when he does, it IS the end of the world. lol A headache will have him totally out of it because he rarely gets those too. And, he likes over-analyzing it, rather than just accepting that he's sick.

 

Man, one of my daycare kids who was here on Friday likely caught our germ and threw up yesterday :( (Em's talking on the phone with her right now.) I was torn because the kids would have already been exposed from Timmy plus me and D (we got it Thurs. around supper) and it was a PD Day so I didn't want to leave these parents hanging. With Andrew home from work, and them being older kids, I thought it would be ok. I'm kicking myself for not handling the whole thing better though. Gavin and laura, my 2 region kids, weren't there. If they were going to be, I would have called in sick as I don't think I can let Andrew be in charge of them since I'm under contract.

 

Ok, I'm blabbing too much.

 

I'm slowly making progress. I feel like I've done quite a bit but want to cry when I look around and see not much done. I'm so motivated but my body says otherwise and I'm starting to get pretty tired. Plus, I know going gung-ho today means tomorrow and maybe even Tues, I'll be too wiped to keep up with the usual messes and be right back at square one.

 

All the kids are doing much better so I think I can have a good night's sleep tonight. So, I'm going to resist having a nap and get to bed early so I can start off the week on the right foot.

 

Here's some ta da's to inspire me!

-3 loads washed, 2 loads dried (pillows from couch put in dryer to fluff up, smell better, etc), still have 3 pillows and 2 blankets that are air drying and will likely take a very long time. augh

-gathered up stained clothing

-gathered up laundry and sorted into towels, bedding, clothes

-washed dishes, wiped counters, cleaned microwave

-cleaned up cat food area and re-filled

-vinegar on pukey couch and mattress

-2 garbage cans/puke buckets are soaking with lysol in them

-had a package of sample lysol wipes that I hadn't been using so wiped the main floor doorknobs and switches and upstairs too

-played the wii with the kids here and there

-dealt with a ton of fighting which is leaving me feeling EXTREMELY frustrated... yeah, they most definitely are feeling better

-dealt with a ton of picking up the kitten when they should just let her SLEEP

-got Timmy to nap, twice though the first time he woke up when I put him down

-made various snacks, etc

-took out kitchen garbage, gathered up garbages from upstairs minus the litter/diaper one

 

 

Still must do before tomorrow:

-bring dirty laundry downstairs

-strip D's bed, re-make

-clean main floor bathroom, clean upstairs bathroom

-put away clean, dry dishes

-sweep/mop kitchen/dr/front hall

-wash 1 2 3, dry 1 2 3 4

-lay out clothes for tomorrow

-figure out menu for tomorrow

-lysol game controllers, phones and remotes

-give E and D and T showers, cut nails if needed, etc
