That post yesterday?

Yeah, it was foreshadowing and I didn't realize it. Sweet Pea has had a drippy nose for the last couple of days.  We had a birthday party yesterday evening at one of those bounce house places.  We were home by 7:30, but I think it was a bad idea.  She had a little cough last night while she was sleeping.  Mix that with T being out of town and my being up late working.

I woke up to her sitting in front of the TV, not dressed.  Gallon of milk on the table.  A spilled bowl of cereal on.my.carpet.  With us needing to leave in 30 minutes.  For picture day at school.

I *might* have yelled. A bit.

Needless to say she didn't make it to school today.  I had no intension of trying to get her dressed in something without a stain on it.  (Sweet Pea is the master of ruining clothes.) Then do her hair so we didn't have to have a forever memory of her looking like a rag-a-muffin.

So she missed out.  Which also means that I missed out on my once-a-week chance to go to the pool.

I'm crossing my fingers that she doesn't get any worse.  *I* need my run tomorrow and my adult conversation tomorrow.

And yet here she sits.  Happy as a clam to be watching cartoons on the couch 
while I blog and her sisters do their school work.

    Cereal on the carpet? Oh yuck! (And is it coincidence that my word verification is messi? I mean, it's spelled wrong, but the sentiment is there.)

    Oh goodness. I feel your pain. I hope that by now she's feeling better and that you were able to get your run in! HUGS.

Tell It To Me Tuesday - A letter

...to our Nation's daughters.  That was Jade's challenge this week.  I have to admit my first reaction was that this was going to be easy, I've got three of them living under my roof.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn't want to write something fluffy or silly just for the simple fact that I have three of them under my roof. So here goes nothing. To the Beautiful Daughters of Our Nation: This world you now live in is so different from the one I grew up in.  High-end technology when I was just starting in school was a VCR.  And they were big.  A night out as a family usually meant McDonald's, and we loved it.  I love that my parents allowed me to be a child and to have fun and be silly and to have few responsibilities.  I sure had fun.  But I realize now that maybe I had it too easy.  I say this because I am constantly telling my own daughters that life isn't always easy.  That you must work and someti...

#insaneroadtrip day 17

Wow! It's amazing what happens when you sleep for 8 hours one night and 9 the next! You can cope with heat and humidity and sun and crowds and traffic. After enjoying a nice yummy breakfast (I had an omelet) we packed up the truck and headed out of Granny's place and off for the big city. We were meeting Thea at the Air & Space Museum and rode the metro in the north. The metro used to scare me, but not so much anymore. The maps are pretty too. We left T at a corner where he turned towards Starbucks to do homework and not hobble around in his boot. We went the opposite way towards l Air & Space. The last time we were there the girls didn't get to see a lot of it because we ran out of time. After a pitstop in the bathroom I spotted Thea. Yay! Roomie! The 10yo was excited to see all the Apollo stuff since she did a research paper on it at the end of the school year. I took pictures on the real camera but not with my phone so no fun pictures there. I refused to make i...

The wind is howling

Literally.  And a storm is brewing.  We are slated for up to 8 inches of snow.  (I just looked that up. And I'm not happy right now.)  I have a 14-mile run tomorrow.  Mmm. Not quite sure how that's going to work.  So tomorrow may be less crazy than originally anticipated.  I can't trudge through 14 miles of 8 inches of snow.  It shall be interesting because the storm is supposed to hit tonight and lighten up midday tomorrow and then hit again Saturday night through Sunday midday. This marathon training business is hard work.  Only time will tell what the weekend holds in the way of a run for me. So for now, I'll head out and cram as much as I can into this morning and this afternoon.  Birthday party tomorrow for the 8yo!! Let's get this show on the road!!
