Day Two

Well last night was another rough one. Agnes finally was starting to feel a bit better, and then Thade woke up late, sick again. Really, really, really, miserably ill. It was not a good night at all.

I caught up the eight loads of laundry yesterday, and ran out of supplies along the way. I have another eight loads waiting for me today. I was going to take the kids out for a bit this morning, but Agnes’ hasn’t felt good again, and Dylan is acting up. Thade is better for the moment.

I’m waiting for my hubby to get home so I can head out for laundry detergent and more cleaning supplies. My goodness the kids have to get better soon.

The First Day

So far so good. Agnes is feeling better, Dylan is busy playing with Mia, and Thade is playing the play-station. I’m playing catch up on seven loads of laundry, and making a tasty Winter meal to kick off the new season. I need to clean the kitchen, and finalize the Christmas meal shopping list too.

I have to say it was really nice getting to stay home this morning. The kiddos were up extra early, and they are even more excited for Christmas to get here.

Hope you are having a lovely Friday, and Happy first day of Winter too.

Odds and Ends

Well today is the last day that I have to work on the house before the kids are home from school for two weeks. Thade is feeling better, and Dylan was so excited to enjoy a Christmas party at school today. Agnes is sick though, and her tummy is miserable. I hope she gets well soon.

I’ve been cleaning, catching up on laundry, making some cookies, and working on the boys room. I’ve got the boys room fairly clean, so I’m calling it good. I’ll probably deep clean everything again before Christmas with all the sickies going around.

I’m anxious to get the kids home, and enjoy a bit of a break. It is nice to have a few weeks off from the school routine. They are extra excited too, we got the first snow of the season today, and they were all so happy about it. Agnes has been watching out the window and hoping for more snowflakes.

Happy last day of Autumn, stay toasty if it is snowing in your neck of the woods.

Icky Cleaning

I think someone has been sick in our house since Thanksgiving. James and Agnes have had sinus problems, colds, and fevers too. Last weekend the stomach flu found Dylan, and last night Thade woke up sick with it too. Oh goodness, I hope they are all well by Christmas.

I’m catching up on yucky laundry and lots of cleaning this morning. It is going to be a long day.

Me and The Holiday Blues

Every year I look forward to Thanksgiving, but by the day after I start dreading the Christmas season. Call it seasonal affective disorder, or the holiday blues, but the over-planning, the over-shopping, and the constant over the top commercialism will send a speeding panic attack my way. It happens every year, and it has happened every year, and it will probably still happen, but I’m slowly learning how to deal with it.
