The Children Are Ailing
We got up this morning to two children with fevers.
It wasn’t exactly helpful since I needed to spend some time getting ready for Fili. Nor did it help that AJ wanted to take the kids and go to breakfast.
But we went - and I enjoyed my breakfast. It got a little crazy toward the end, but it really was pleasurable most of the time.
Because we didn’t want to press our luck, we stuck around the house the rest of the day.
- I moved furniture around and we now have our adult room, with the kids’ room where the living room used to be. It’s trashed, but at least it’s getting use now.
- Today was L’s day to sleep for four hours. I should have known that they were getting sick when E took the monster nap yesterday. I guess L is just going to be a day behind her. Ugh.
- Fili came to clean and I actually had the house pretty well picked up before she got here - and I went to breakfast. Amazing, I know.
Naturally, order turned to chaos when L got up from his nap and by the time bedtime rolled around you would never have known that Fili had been here.
So, we got the kids to bed as early as we could and A and I sat outside to chat. It was a gorgeous evening (AJ assured me that there aren’t any bugs yet) and we hadn’t had a chance to talk for a looooong time.
It’s nice to have a chance to stop and take a moment to remember why you married your spouse in the first place. Sometimes work, travel, and kids just cloud the view a bit.
