I was hoping to take it easy today with this cold lingering but the big guy had to go out of town for work training and I was left with the little people. So much for rest. Somehow despite feeling like at any moment my head might actually burst out of my skin from the coughing, I managed to make them three meals plus snacks from semi-scratch, wash, fold and put away a load of laundry, sweep the entire house, wash the dishes, get a fire going in the wood stove, and I even played with them a little. They also watched three movies and at one point I sent them both outside(to the completely fenced in yard devoid of any major hazards), yes even the toddler, and hooked up the baby monitor so I could run to their rescue if needed. They were fine and I got some much needed couch time.
When they became restless once again I figured we should head on out to the hot tub. I hoped the heat would also help clear up my congestion.
Maybe I should have made it clear what they could bring with them.
The baby girl was fine bringing only a couple of toys.
She mostly sat with me and tried to enjoy the hot water and scenery.
Had I known that my son was going to bring along half of the Star Wars saga cast, in Lego form, I might have reconsidered our little dip.
The little guy had a running dialogue going between all his action figures. It was exhausting to hear. And why must
boys my kids be so loud?
My head actually felt worse afterward.
Fortunately they both went to sleep before eight.
It's the little things that make my day.
