Oh Happy Monday

I'm still not feeling up to par, but I'm very thankful that I haven't yaked in several days! :) Last night I was up until 1am. After I put the kids to bed, I put way too much time into playing on my new blog. I hung out with Tony for a few minutes after he got home and then hit the sack.

Then Emma woke up around 4:30am. Poor little sweetie has had a nasty deep cough that's plagued her for the past couple of days. She's not running a fever or any other symptoms, just a nasty cough. I think it's mostly allergies. I've been having issues with those these days too . . .yes, I feel lovely.

After I calmed Emma, I couldn't go back to sleep. I layed in bed for about an hour and then got up & played on my blog some more. I took Alex school around 8:30am, did a little shopping where I ran into my BFF Kara, chatted with her for a bit, came home, made some lunch for Tony and I, and then layed down for about an hour until Emma woke up. I'm tired.

Then Alex's teacher called me. She said that he hadn't felt well all day long, complaining of a stomach ache. I packed up Emma and we picked him up. He didn't feel like eating his breakfast this morning, but I packed him an extra granola bar to snack on during their snack time. Well, he didn't eat it, and he didn't eat any of his lunch either. No wonder his stomach hurt - the kid was starving to death. Just to be safe, we ran to Walgreens & I picked up some meds. He hasn't eaten much at all since we've been home, but he's been in good spirits. My children are broken.
He was begging me to put him to bed at 6pm, but instead I tempted him with a movie and he stayed up until 7pm. If I put him to bed at 6pm, he'll seriously wake up at 5am, bugging me to make him some breakfast. I don't think so - I am in no mood.

I did, however, manage to get a few things done around my house that have been severely neglected since this baby sickness has hit me like a ton of bricks. Today I:

Cleaned out & vacuumed out my van. The outside is going to have to wait, I definitely don't have it in me to do that yet...

Pulled all the weeds out of the frontyard. Now it looks pretty again. We've had a few plants die and the tree branches are growing horizontally . . . oh well.

Did the dishes. I am usually pretty good about keeping them up daily, but lately I haven't felt like it and let them pile up for about 3 days. I hate crusted-on oatmeal. The smells alone were enough to make me wanna yak.

Happy Monday :)
