I hate looking out over the week and realizing that the days are evaporating faster than you want them to. Just ran two days in a row, really shouldn’t run today, but tomorrow is a MOPS Thursday, which means I have to run before Eric leaves for work in the morning, but it’s supposed […]

I made a baked pumpkin today (so yummy!), and I had to search through my old journal archives to find the recipe. Doing that, I came across a toddler Sam, telling me out of the blue that “‘a’ is for airplane, and ‘c’ is for cat.” I remember how amazed I was by […]

I never knew that Seasonal Affective Disorder can involve sugar cravings. I just thought it was the constant enticements of “holiday goodies” making me go all “COOKIE MONSTER AAAAAAAA-NOM-NOM-NOM” around this time of the year. That, perhaps, and some sort of pre-evolutionary throwback need to pack on fat for the long winter of […]

I’m feeling really, really happy right now. Of course, last night was full of serious discussion with Sam, whose school had a mock election and who came home on a bus with kids hanging out of every window, shrieking for Obama. Apparently, Sam got confused and when the announcements at the […]

Wanted to expand on the first point of yesterday. Sam and Gabe didn’t have school yesterday (or today, either, for that matter), but I wanted to go on a run, anyway. I decided that although it would probably wind up as a shortened run, due to the boys’ attention spans and endurance levels, […]

So we get up, as usual, and I get the kids dressed and into the car for various schools, as usual, and I’m on my way to preschool with Gabe, as usual, when something strikes me in the back of the unconsciousness and says, “Dummy! Class party!” and I suddenly remembered that Gabe’s school […]

Sam has bronchitis.
Home from school; resting in bed.
Hack, hack, cough, cough, ga-aaaaaaag…
Jealous little Gabe
Can’t choose whether he prefers
Sam or Sammy’s meds.
“Mom! Can I have soup?”
“Mommy, I fink I’m sick, too!”
“Mom!” “Mommy!” “Mom!” ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!
Naptime coming soon
Whether they like it or not
Else I turn feral.

He’s in bed an hour early tonight, ostensibly reading a book, but I’m betting he’ll fall asleep in short order if his cough lets him.
Gabe tried to claim illness, too, just to get the Tylenol.

Well, crap. My little man, who yesterday was looking a little peaky to me, but who didn’t complain (except to Eric, to tell him about the stitch in his side he got running through the corn maze at the apple orchard that afternoon - I asked how his trip was, and he didn’t give […]
