Tired of Talking About Sickness

I’m positive you guys are tired of hearing me talk about sickness. Trust me, I’m sick of talking about it. Its just the biggest thing going on in our days :/ Who is barfing? Can it be contained? Who is going to barf next? What should they eat? Can they eat? When is bedtime?? Today, I feel pretty disgusting, but nothing has come of it, and it seems to come and go, so its liveable. No one has really thrown up yet today. Solly chucked a bit of his lunch, I suppose, and Dekker’s been gagging since school, but thank goodness, thats it so far.

Some fun things about today! We set up our new bike trailer!

Ro and Laela loved it so much, which is really great 🙂 I was a bit worried, after all of the searching for the best value for the best price, they wouldn’t much care for it, but sure enough, it was a win.

Also, today was a Mother’s Day celebration with Dekker’s class. I went for about an hour, and together we made a scrapbook with pictures of us, with lots of stickers and sequins, and messages that we wrote together. It was adorable.

Ice cream followed, and the sugar seemed to hit Dekker instantly, hahaha! He was thrilled 😀

I took him out to recess a bit early with the other kindergarten kids, and played with him until the bell actually rang any everyone else joined the party. It was timed a bit funny, because I went home for maybe 40 minutes and then came back to get him. He was so so tired when I came him, though. It had been a big day.

I had to duck back to the city to grab a missed piece of decking, and I had a new experience. Someone actually opened their office window from a couple of floors up in their building and bellowed “What kind of van is that?” I shouted back the make and model. He just stared at me, so I called “Its a 12 passenger!” He thanked me and closed his window. Wasn’t sure what to make of it. The guy who loaded the material into my van got a good kick out it as well. He asked me what I needed such a big van for, and seemed VERY surprised when I told him it was for our hopefully soon to be growing family. But I just laughed and reassured him that I loved having a big family, and he was really friendly about it. So I got my stuff and headed home.

I’m feeling pretty crappy as the day is winding up. I think I’ll wash makeup brushes and maybe watch a movie this evening, while Brady is hanging out with a friend tonight. And then he’s back to the grindstone after a nice chunk of time off this week 🙂 I wish he could just stay home, but I’m very thankful for the time he’s had here at home. The deck is getting closer to being done everyday, which is exciting to see. I’m so ready to have it finished so I can invite all of you lovely people over for a drink and a chat on it. I anticipate it’ll be a bit of a haven.

But for today, I’m ready to pack it in. Good night, all!
