The Day is Done

Today I managed to get the M&M ready for school, take Isaac to speech therapy, get the house "less dirty," do the grocery shopping with 3 little ones and an Isaac tiger, nurse Corinna frequently, feed/bathe the kids, chase Isaac back to bed- repeatedly, wash some clothes, and pack lunches for tomorrow.

This on the day I was supposed to be taking it easy.  Still recovering from a nasty bout of mastitis.  Thank goodness for antibiotics!  Jon gets home late tomorrow or Thursday depending on if the plane is on time.




Can't wait. 




Update: Just got paged by a crying Isaac.  He'd fallen asleep under the bed, half-woke up, and bonked his head.  Helped him back into bed.  Want your blanket?  "No."  Want a kiss?  "No."  Even in his sleep he is contrary! 

Corinna is peacefully sleeping now.  Last night she woke up about 6 times and Matthew and Isaac got up at 6 AM and woke her up again!  Urk.

Update 2 (10 minutes): Now Corinna is awake.  Sigh.

Be strong, pretty girl! I'm amazed you can manage all that, as sick as you are... You're an inspiration. <3 And hopefully your birthday present shows up soon and cheers you up!

I'm not an inspiration- I just was a tired, somewhat sick mom feeling a bit chagrin at the day.

I was mostly better then and I'm 100% now. :)

Thanks, friends.
