She lives!
Don’t worry; I’m fine. Remember my whole, “Wah, my ear hurts!” thing? Turns out I had an ear infection! Me! Who gets ear infections in their 30s? I haven’t had one since I was about Mallory’s age. So, yeah. That’s been fun. And the kids are all sort of passing around a cold, like Hot Potato. Someone will be up half the night because they can’t breathe, and someone else will be coughing all day, and then they switch. And Paul has a meeting this morning so I have to drive Kayley to school. It’s happened often enough that I SHOULD be able to say with some certainty,
“I need to be up by xx:xx so I can get myself ready and get the kids ready and be out the door at xx:xx.” But, no. Every time we go through this, I have to think really hard about how long it takes us all to get ready and what time she starts school and all of that. I just realized about five minutes ago that I really don’t have time for a shower today, because I need to get everyone up in about, oh…five more minutes. Maybe typing this out will serve as a reminder to myself that it’s really pretty easy to subtract ONE HOUR from our typical daily routine. Yeah, sometimes I’m not very clever about this sort of thing. I’m blaming it on the fact that I’m sleep deprived! I want to just lie around all day watching TV like these little monkeys.
