So my day has been seriously crazy and here I am with 5 minutes of alone time and what am I doing? Nothing productive obviously, just checking out the blogs! Sometimes I wish I had about 5 more hours added on to my day, only nighttime hours though. the only time of day when I am hopefully able to do what I want to do.
My batteries on my camera died on the 4th, but I feel I need to post something, just for remembering sake I guess. So today was lots of fun.
First I woke up at 7AM(very early for me! Yes I know I'm lazy!), to get Mally ready to go to the doctor to get her tongue snipped. It went well, I was prepared with her blankie, doll, and an Amelia Bedelia book to read. The nurse said she has never had an IV go so smoothly with a child and that she was just a perfect patient! Good to hear, I tried to keep it as untraumatizing as possible for Mally, and me! The ride home was a little bit more painful for her than I had hoped. Whats with pain medication anyway! They tell you it should last 2 hours and it actually only is about 1/2 hour! Poor thing was just crying on the way home cause her tongue hurt! I was in the back with her, but thanks to the seat belt law I couldn't really be as comforting as I would have liked!
We get home, and Travis is there with his nose running, drool streaming from his mouth and little chapped cheeks! Oh my, the poor little thing! He is running a slight fever too. Tonight would have been a great night for Neil to have a normal job with regualr hours! I feel like I've been running from one sad little child to the next! Being a Mom is HARD! And poor Garrett is driving me nuts becuase he has so much energy, he keeps popping up in my face making wierd noises! I finally had to send him outside to play with the dog just so he would get some energy out of him! I wish it were cooler I would have made him run laps around the backyard! Then I sliced my finger pretty deep cutting an avacado. There was blood dripping everywhere and it hurt too dang it!
Now it's quiet, Travis is finally asleep and hopefully will be for more than an hour this time. Mally is down and hopefully won't feel any pain tonight. Garrett hopefully won't wake me up at 2AM with a sad whimper and his underwear dripping wet. And last, Neil will hopefully make it home with out falling asleep at the wheel or getting pulled over for speeding or some kind of accident. Sounds like a lot of hopefully's! Oh, did I mention that sick or not I love them all? Tomorrow will be better!(Hopefully!)
