Randomness

The day began at 1:30am with Ellie screaming in her bed. I go in her room to find her sopping wet. She had opened her bottle and poured it all over herself.

I was up at 5:30 am. I should have exercised, instead I cleaned the basement and mopped the floor for my dad coming into town this afternoon.

I made dinner with a screaming child at my feet, mitigated fights between brothers - one who finished his homework early and the other who continues to drag his feet while having tears at the table.

I"m tired and I have invoices to create, and a baby who's crying in her bed again, mad because I put her to bed.

And I smell like soy sauce. From dinner, not naturally.

In other random news for posterity's sake:

  • Tyler's gray tooth got punched out in a boxing match between him and his friend (a friendly one)
  • McKell is with her dad at Disneyland for a little "McKell/Daddy time" pictures to follow ( who am I kidding, I won't post them, I can't even eat a full meal by myself)
  • I was lovingly referred to as a 'silly rat' by McKell. I feel so honored.
  • Nothing like finding a butter knife in the sippy cup drawer that has old, rancid peanut butter on it. Maybe my house was the origin of the salmonella outbreak.
  • Every apple I purchased from Costco has had a bite taken out of it and put back in the container, bite side down.
Ellie is now mad screaming in her bed - we all know the type - where they start coughing and you know gagging is just around the bend.

I've also realized I have Gothic white skin. I must find some sun and get my Vitamin D intake. How's that for randomness.

I've been thinking of you this week...ready for a mental health break? I think I could use one! Have you been having fun with your Dad in town? How fun to have him and your sister here. I know you are busy so just let me know if you have anytime this week...

oh what a day! You are funny and it sounds like you take it all in stride and laughter, because sometimes that is all you can do through all the chaos.

I hope all is well with your little Tyler. I just read the post about the MRI. Keep us updated, hope you get answers soon.
