Well, these last few days have-just-been-great.....
My kids have been sick and sleep deprived because they were sick, and now honery because they are sleep deprived because they were sick. ALOT of biting, kicking, head butting, pushing, steam rollers, whining, sniveling, snot smearing, crying, screaming and crying, screaming-crying-and trantrums...inconsolable night wakings,inconsolable day activities, hanging off your leg, crawling ever up-ward on your lap, jumping out of your arms even when they want to be held, fighting over mom's lap and not able to share their wonderful mother, pushing their wonderful mother off her kitchen chair around the room and back to her kitchen chair only to throw another tantrum on the floor because you sat down on your chair...and general unhappiness. Gee wiz, sounds like side effects I'd read if the flu came in a bottle.
Boy, do I ever love my life tonight. After you go through days like this past week the tinnest things are awfully hilarious. Today I was using a Mac and the power cut, after turning it back on a window came up about the internet: "Well, that's emabarrasing. I've seemed to have forgotten your setting..." The computer didn't save my settings on the internet, but that small phrase kept me laughing all night long. Oh gee wiz. Mercy. "Well, that's embarrasing." Why is that so funny?!
I know you are all thinking I'm a nut, but seriously, that was funny. I hope you can all smile at something when your children put you through the ringer for the week.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry the kiddos have been so miserable. I hope they get back to being happy soon! Very soon.
