it is wednesday and i'm happily back at work. now that i've just spent two days playing nursemaid to two Pitiful Pearls, i'm ready to tackle the mountain on my desk.
tips i learned from being at home this week:
1. mixing that nasty white medicine in orange juice will make it palatable for kids who hate medicine!
2. avoid orange juice if your child says their stomach hurts.
3. buying coloring books and activities for your kids to do while you get *extra* things done around the house is a waste of money. all they want is for you to hold them and breathe on you while you watch the same episode of the little einsteins over and over again.
4. i cook pretty well when i have the time to prepare a real meal. problem is, noone wants to eat it when they're sick, and i'm too tired and grouchy to care how it tastes anyway.
5. even if the tylenol kicks in at just the right moment that you convince yourself that the kids are feeling better and they should go on to ballet class because, by golly, you're paying $68 dollars a month for it, think again.
oh, happy day! everyone is back at daycare this morning and they can recycle germs again.
(i forgot to post pictures last time so here are some pre-strep shots).
