round 4...

i've survived the worst of it i think. i still feel bloated and grumpy but i'm not having to visit the toilet every hour so i'd say that's an improvement. now it's cade's turn, he threw up last night and again this morning so he's the last of us to get it. hopefully rob doesn't get it when he moves up FOR GOOD on monday. (yes, he misses us so much that he's coming up on monday instead of tuesday. i should start lysoling all the doorknobs now, i guess?)

i downloaded my 2nd nina simone album just now. i have a feeling i may have discovered an expensive habit.

i advertised for a babysitter on care.com. i'm looking for someone to come in and watch cade & elisha for a few hours in the mornings so i can help out in reese's classroom. does that sound dumb, paying someone to watch the kids so i can volunteer in reese's 1st grade classroom??? i've never gotten to do this and now cade & elisha are old enough to welcome a care provider, so maybe i should just escape a few mornings while i can.

cade's first week of preschool went well, his tantrums weren't *too* bad when it was time to go home. he's produced worse, what can i say. today will be his first sick day. i'd say poor kid but he is acting fine so i'll say 'poor mom' instead.

he gets thursdays off from preK and he's missing today, so it's going to be a long long weekend. and did i hear it's supposed to be rainy too? i think i did. good times.

maybe i'll just let them wreck the house and let nina keep me company on the nano. reinforcements are on the way!!
