I don’t think Doug is relaxing any but the boys sound like they are having fun. Sarah is getting her “stop biting your nails” treat today. Her first real manicure. Can’t wait to see what color she chooses. “How about a nice translucent pastel Sarah? No thanks, I’ll take purple glitter.” Afterward we’re going to […]

Yesterday afternoon I went to Wal-Mart and then wanted to nap but I knew as soon as I got home that Doug wasn’t up to the psychiatrist appointment (unless it was for him) so I took Tommy. After that I bought groceries and came home to find Doug in the same state he’d been all […]

Went to Wal-Mart (yes I know that It’s not politically correct to shop there) and felt so light-headed but achey that I really wanted to go to bed but I had to take Tommy to his psychiatrist. At the psychiatrist Tommy put on a show of his most immature behaviors and when I left the […]

We’re almost out of diapers so I’m going to share my germs with the town and hope that I have the presence of mind to drive the car. I haven’t eaten since Wednesday but I did have a full can of Sprite today. Oh, and about 8 tylenol.

I feel almost human again. As long as I move slow and pop tylenol every two hours I can even stay awake. Tommy seems almost jolly today. I’m going to get really brave now and try getting dressed.

Last night Doug and I sat in bed happily munching on roasted peanuts. This morning during the two hours it took to empty my stomach of them I kept hearing “found a peanut” in my head. Apparently I’m even stranger than usual when in the bathroom feeling like death because I then switched to “Seasons […]

A stomach virus has taken over our household.

Having cold hands or feet can be written off to bad circulation. How do you explain a cold hiney? In bed I stick my popsicle feet against Doug to hear him scream and he leans that frozen fanny of his against me. It’s not even a big rear. It’s a small bottom that is just […]

Even though I was up from 4 until 5, I just didn’t have the energy or mental clarity to blog. Tommy threw up his sugar binge. Guzzled water (Tommy doesn’t sip anything) and vomited again. There is now no clean laundry and Tommy’s room is going to need scrubbing top to bottom, every square inch. […]

Left Tommy home while we went to Sarah’s program. Amy was loud so Doug and I took turns standing outside with her. She was much happier after a nasty diaper that I changed in the car. The children all got to bed very late. Tommy is in bed moaning about his stomach after binging on […]
