Not too good in the blogging department this week -- life is getting in the way!
Everyone still in various stages of recovery from this nasty cold. Emma was gloriously happy to go back to school after a missed week, but I had to keep the babies home from a twins playdate because they slept like CRAP last night and needed an AM nap. As did I, but organized and cleaned up the spice cabinet (aka random stale spices in a sticky ocean of honey) and did online price comparisons for overnight diapers (so worth it!) instead. FUN! And they slept for almost 2 hours! Ran out to pick up Emma from school, and then around lunchtime Elsie became a sad, screaming mess thanks to an ear infection*. Luckily I was able to grab a 5:30 Dr. appointment, fed everyone first then got to the appointment, got the required meds (thank you modern medicine, especially numbing ear drops because ibuprofin wasn't touching it!), and then literally was home for 15 min before heading out again (leaving Lonnie with three screaming kids at bedtime, yeeps!) to arrive half an hour late to a parenting class. Halfway through the class I realized I left my phone in the car, and called home to check in and they were all asleep. Whew.
For two hours every Tuesday night I am taking a class on Positive Discipline at Emma's preschool. LOVING IT! Its really great (except for the part where I have to ROLE PLAY, OMG) and I will post more about it soon.
I've also been tackling various housecleaning and organizing projects (in small chunks, since thats all I can handle) and thats been good. So much more to do, but it feels like progress.
Right now I am eating ice cream and listening to silence. Heaven.
*as for the ear infection, its actually great that we've made it this far through the winter without more problems, since last year both Elsie and Delia were getting them with every cold that came through. This is the first since early last spring! No more talk of tubes, at least for now. Of course now I am waiting for the other shoe to drop, since in the past if one had it the other always got it too. So far Delia seems fine (though she was up a lot in the night, too), so we'll see. I'm guessing its about 75% likely I will be back to the Dr's office within the week for her...
