I just got finished reading the children a story and putting them to bed. It amazes me how every night, after our story, I immediately get exhausted too. Well, I'm having a little cup of coffee to combat this feeling. Hopefully it will give me the boost I need to tackle the laundry. Yes, the dreaded laundry. Always the laundry.... Tonight, however, I can turn on the TV in my room and watch something on cable if I like. I am very excited about that! The DirecTV guy came today and upgraded my box and installed a new line into my bedroom. This is the first time in twenty years that I have actually had a television in my bedroom. Seriously. The last time I had a TV in my room, I was going to SCAD... 1991. Wait, maybe I had one when I was living at my Aunt and Uncle's house after dropping out of SCAD (still 1991), I'm not sure... In any event, it has been a very very long time since I have had a TV in my room. So this is all very exciting... Now, if I could just get my room straightened up and get the clothes put away, I could lay in bed and watch the tube like the rest of America... Heehee.
This day was very strange. The weather was horrible. Cold and rainy all day long. After having a taste of beautiful Spring weather on Sunday, this weather seems all the more worse. I am over Winter. Now. I am ready for the sun and warm breezes. I'm ready for flowers to bloom and grass to grow. I'm ready for blue skies and green leaves on the trees... I am ready to get out and work in the yard. I want to get my hands dirty and work up a sweat. Nothing makes me feel better than working outside. I have always loved it. My favorite summer jobs in college and Vet school were doing landscaping. Picking weeds is cathartic to me. Yes, I am ready for Spring... I saw this video today and cracked up... This woman is funny!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdpDw73GLmU
I think the other reason this day felt so strange was because I am used to working on Tuesdays now. Instead of being at work, I was cooped up in my house with a sick little girl, again. This time it was Little A. At about 2 am, she climbed in bed (read couch) with me and promptly vomited all over me. Yes, this is one of the joys of Motherhood. She recovered much quicker that Big A did last week though. By mid afternoon she could eat again. So that is a plus. She seems pretty much back to normal now, so she will be off to school again tomorrow. I just hope D doesn't get his "bug." Although, I don't think he will. He has a pretty strong immune system when it comes to stomach viruses. Big A asked him today why he never gets sick. His answer was " Because I'm a Russian!" Haha!!!
