may resolution:

no more writing about my sick children. if it's old for me, it's old for everyone.

i enjoyed my mother's day with a Day of Me. i need more of those. my Day of Me included not making any meals or doing any laundry. meals were handled by my wonderful husband who took us to brunch after church and made steaks for dinner. the laundry thing was just a simple weekend boycott-- so i've got plenty to catch up on this weekend! the girls always make sweet cards at school, and i loved those.

when queried what mother's day actually was, my children decided that it meant that i was not allowed to yell or make anyone sit in the uncooperative chair all day long. so i didn't.

i know. i'm the mother of the year when the bar is set so high!

hold your applause

...i'd like to publicly thank the parent of the year who so thoughtfully brought his obviously-infected-with-a-stomach-bug child to a certain birthday party on saturday night.

i'm completely overflowing with things i'd like to say to you. but i can't: i've got a sick kid on my hands.

karma, baby.
