  • morning.


    Well like half of my sir I have a nasty cold.   It was irritating the last 3 days...now its just plain miserable.  And its trying to get to my eyes. 


    And I have a dentist appointment tomorrow.  And I've already cancelled two of them, so theirs absolutely no way I can cancel this one...they'll think I'm a total flake.  *sigh*


    One miracle before 8 o'clock tomorrow strongly requested.


    We've had GORGEOUS weather the last couple days.


    Yesterday I went outside with a blanket and played with my kids.  Originally I thought I was gonna read a book, but instead I got in a orange peel war.    They make quite effective grenades


    And then my kids and I had a wooden sword (stick) fight.   And then just one big tickle fest.  All in all it was quite fun.   And I haven't enjoyed my kids that much in a long time.


    Mari and I had a bit of a war (the wrong kind)  during it, as he was very grumpy...eventually however we sorted it out.   And for the first time in a week he's actually being his sweet self again.   Apparently he needed mommy to finally lay down the law on whatever mood he was in.


    The pool was fun last night.  We are staying between 30-40 minutes.  Not long, but enough for them.  Sam *gasp*  was actually helpful carrying stuff, and collecting stuff on the way out.  And I praised him muchly for this.   Mari "swam" last night for the first time.  They wear swimsuits with inflatables in them (the 3  youngest)  and last night was the first night he was willing to let go of me and float on his own.  So that was very cool.   Now if we could just get him SMILING when he's in the water.  He's the only one who isn't completely thrilled about the water...and as its the rest of the families favorite thing to do...hes gonna have to have a attitude adjustment.     Mommy's teaching him how.  *Sniggers*


    Basically he and I have had a battle going since Monday.   But he was loving and sweet this morning, and even smiling at me again, so whatever developmental or psychological funk he was in...he's coming out of.  I hope.   Yesterday was a hard day in regards to him.  Haven't had that bad of a battle with him in a long time.   And seriously believe he was having some kind of drug withdrawals as well......we gave him some childrens dayquil...and we suspect he was reacting to it.  Won't do that again any time soon.


    Gorgeous again today, although my eyes are incredibly light sensitive.  I'm really hoping thats not the direction the cold is going.   But time will tell.  Hope to sit on the blanket again today, and enjoy the monkeys.  And maybe do a post or two as time permits.


    Did one last night at the B&B back history for G'den.  I know where I'm headed...but still have a couple details to sort out in my mind....maybe I'll day-dream them while wrestling with my kiddos.  *grin*
