Friday - Oh dear gods. After a very long week and a couple very long days, I made it home. I hugged my kids, took some deep breaths, and collapsed.

Saturday - Got up, got coffee, went and got a pedicure. My toes are now a bright cheery coral. We set up our counter herb garden and then had to have about 40 conversations about how it takes time for plants to sprout and grow. Plants are slow science and slow magic. We have to give them time and not poke at them every 15 seconds.

Ox threw up a couple of times. His sinuses drain to his stomach, then he wants to get the mucus out. Poor guy. Then he gets worked up about something, starts coughing, and then throws up. Then he gets worked up because he's throwing up and the cycle repeats.

Sunday - Oh, thank goodness it finally turned into spring! Emi was out back running around for a while. She melted down a couple times when she couldn't get the neighbor girls' attention to come play with her. Ox felt puny all day.

We played some GW2 with friends and I washed eight loads of clothes. We go through a lot of clothes and with Ox sick, there are lots more towels and sheets and clothes to wash. I also washed a couple loads of fuzzy blankies and pillows to try to cut down on latent germs. Lots and lots and lots of laundry.

I also roasted a chicken and potatoes for late lunch/early dinner. It was SO GOOD. Also, easy. The potatoes had to go back in the oven for a while to finish up, but that just gave us tasty braised potatoes of nom.

I didn't get any sewing done, but I got a bit of crochet done. My thumbs are starting to hurt again, so I need to take a break from crochet. Darn it. Instead, I hennaed all up and down my left leg. It looks pretty nifty.

I took probably too much advil yesterday. I battled a headache all day long. Today it seems to be less, but I keep expecting it to show up again.

Today - Got out the door quite a bit later than I wanted to. This is because when I woke up, Ox demanded snuggle time. So we sat on the couch and watched Curious George together and he threw up all over both of us. Then I got up and continued with my morning routine. He needed more hugs from both Momma and Daddy. Yay for showers, yay for coffee, boo for little dude feeling icky. Emi woke up as I was trying to get dressed and she helpfully told me which of my skirts didn't fit.

I actually don't have many scheduled meetings today. Instead, I have a boatload of high priority tasks that I need to get done. I really don't want to be here. I want to be home with my kidz. I want to be available to watch Emi in case Downwood finally gets Ox into the doctor. They probably can't do anything (virus), but maybe there's a Mucinex for kids that would help loosen up all the crud in his head.

Looking forward to dance. Not looking forward to getting home late and then coming into work really early tomorrow. Looking forward to lunch. Not looking forward to telling myself no dessert for the foreseeable future. I want clothes that fit, dammit. I want to not hate how I look.I just don't have the willpower to enjoy life like this.

Bleah. Work now, self-recrimination later.
