Calling in Sick

It's a good thing I have Wednesdays off, cause someone around here isn't feeling too good. A coughing, nose running almost-2-year-old in a funk is awful. It's making for a weary mama.

On days like these, I find myself letting the rules slide just a little bit. Juice all day instead of water? Okay. Snack all morning rather than a good breakfast? Sure thing. Elmo over and over and over again? No problem. It's just my sanity that's going.


We've managed to play in the kitchen sink. And then bathe there, while enjoying a blue sucker. We've painted fingernails and then toenails. We've put all kinds of snacks in our tea pot. We've colored. We've practiced drinking from a silver cup. We've read. We've worked puzzles and then some. We've made cookies. We've eaten nearly an entire container of strawberries. We've dressed and re-dressed our dollies. We've picked out our own clothes (I HOPE you can tell).

It's all part of recuperation, you know? Seems to me, after a full day at home, we're definitely on the mend.

A full day at HOME is always the best medicine. I'm so glad to see that L.O. has such excellent taste in clothing. War Eagle!

I thought you were going to end this by saying "and that was all before 10am". I feel like we will do all these things and then I look at the clock and think "hmm...ok, so now what are we going to do for the next 8 hours before daddy is home!"
