What a week it's been. Typical in the life of a mother, I know.. but sometimes I wonder what the heck is going on?! Full moon = yes. Maybe that explains it. Sunday night was not good. I thought for sure I was going to be up with the flu in full force. Nope- woke up Monday morning and was just exhausted - not ill. (At least I don't think I was.) Took a sick day on Monday - thankfully, I had one left. I got sick so many times in the last couple years, I've maxed out all my sick days. The year when I actually have some unused days will be a miracle.
Tuesday was busy with catch-up at work. Last Friday there was a minor catastrophe - our phone systems went down. Stayed at the office til about a quarter til 6 (supposed to leave at 4:30), and still didn't get the problem fixed. I worked on it most of the day Tuesday and today and hopefully I can finish it up tomorrow. I was faced with all kinds of techie language I don't speak like proxies, global IPs, and a bunch of other nonsense that I didn't understand. Miraculously, I was 'resourceful' enough (inside joke in my own mind) to get my end of a new phone system to work. All the crazies came out today at the office. Crazy customers, that is. I got stuck talking to about 3 or 4 of them. It was a real joy - not.
Tonight looks like another night of cuddles with the kids and another viewing of Ice Age - the movie. I was able to sneak down here on the floor to write a quick blog, but I'm sure I won't survive down here alone for very long.
For anyone that comes across this blog, remember it and come back soon. I have lots of good recipes and ideas to share on here. Maybe I will start a MommyTime Tip.. here is the first one:
MommyTime Tip: Need to get some house cleaning done but want to include the kids? Let them take turns vacuuming. Make sure there aren't objects on the floor (or cords along the wall) that will get sucked up and fry the vaccum belt. My kids LOVE to vacuum. Watching little specs on the floor get sucked up are quite entertaining to them! My 4 year old can vacuum a room nice enough now that I don't have to go over it at all!
