I usually write posts about fun things, or pictures of the kids. Today is different. Today is not fun. And I don't think they want their pictures taken. Don't worry, we're okay. Life happens. Its just one of those days that my mood matches the gray, cloudy skies. Here's my brief post with our TOP TEN today, so far:
1. Bubba is now sick, and it looks like its probably strep. I hope the doctor will call in a prescription for us so we don't have to pay for another visit (we don't have insurance right now).
2. Peanut finished her final round of antibiotics today. She was taking them for strep. Since I was up so much with Bub last night, I didn't have the energy to get her up and ready for school and she didn't want to go anyway. She can have a lazy day.
3. Jeff has had a headache on and off for the past few days, but last night it turned into a migraine. I worry that he is getting sick as well.
4. I have almost a full load of work today, which is a good thing. But when I have all the sickies, its hard to get work done.
5. I forgot to pay our cell phone bill, so I couldn't text my sister this morning. Thankfully, I paid it online and we avoided a crisis! I would be lost if I couldn't communicate with my sis.
6. There is a kid at school who is probably the most advanced in the class. Unfortunately, he knows it and rubs it in to the other kids. Mine in particular, it seems. He's very competitive and tells them that they aren't as smart as him because they might have missed one or two math problems. Little jerk. My mean, protective side is coming out and I'd like to give him a good, hard noogie. But I won't.
7. Our house is a mess. But I don't have time to clean it right now.
8. We at least have clean underwear, but they are pretty much the only clean clothes in our house. Laundry needs to be done. I'll get there.
9. I'm really ticked off that my kids get sick because parents send their kids to school sick. The strep has been going around their class. People really need to get a clue. Think of someone besides yourself for once. This coming from the lady whining about how difficult my life is today.
10. I'm blogging instead of working on any of the million things I should be doing.
P.S. We will (hopefully) return to our regularly happy, positive programming sometime in the near future.
P.P.S. I miss my mom

I am so sorry, having sick kids is the worst. It seems that you can't get anything done because they feel so cruddy that they just want to be held. Plus they are so miserable that your heart breaks because you feel so bad for them. As for laundry, pick out a shirt and pants and socks for each of you and just throw that load in (even if the socks are white). Then you don't have to fold it, just have them get dressed out of the dryer (with some wrinkles) until you are up to getting a handle on it. We have all been there you won't be judged. Keep your chin up mama, things will look up.
