It all started with Cam puking his guts out and then screaming for three solid hours at 2 am. Luckily he wasn't really sick, it was just the three hot dogs I let him eat last night. When I finally got him to take some nausea medication he perked right up after 15 minutes. I love Zofran.
So Cam and I slept on the recliner til 730 when I woke up suddenly. Someone had turned off Kelly's alarm clock and Jannica had turned hers off on purpose. I got Ryan ready (for her big program) in 5 minutes and checked what I was supposed to bring for the class party. It was otter pops. Had I bought them earlier this week and frozen them? No, that is something a mother who plans more than 20 minutes in advance would do.
So I rushed Ryan to school, (no breakfast), called the room mom and apologised profusely, felt like an idiot and came home to start the day different.
I found Kelly had dealt with Jannica (so I didn't have to), I got to have a long shower, and shave my legs! A friend watched Beverly, Cameron came with Kelly and I and we really enjoyed our time with him! He was such a good boy! Ryan was super cute singing all of her songs. Cam and I had a great lunch with Ryan. We came home and the babies and I had a nap.
Ryan went to play with a friend and when Jac came home she did not fight with me over the chores she had to do! She just did them so happily! The babies played well, Ryan came home really mad at life and after trying to be silly with her and pull her out of it I sent her away to cool off. She went up to her room to write a book. She literally copied a whole little little book. But she came out very happy and went outside to play with the kids. She was so great with them, so I had a chance to cook everything I was wanting for dinner. I grilled pork chops, made tasty rice, fruit salad, grilled bacon wrapped squash, Then I saw my basil growing on the patio and wanted tomatoes with mozzarella . But no more mozzarella in this house so I opted for avocados.
Dinner was great. Jac convincingly faked that she liked everything, everyone ate, the babies got baths, Jac showered without a fight and Ryan and I got to read Junie B. Jones. We laughed so hard we had to stop reading for five minutes.
Now I have time to blog and tomorrow is the last day of school!
It started out sucky and there were some unmentioned low points. After reading over this post I see that the day was not about the kids, duh, it was about my attitude. Ahhh, how journaling helps.
In case you did not know Kelly is sitting in a "chair"
This is my tasty dinner. I am hungry looking at it.
