I really want to be napping right now, but I decided to be responsible and get some more school work done with Molly instead. I'll probably thank myself later, but right now I am so tired I can hardly think straight. I feel crappy. I officially got sick on Friday, went to the clinic on Saturday and got antibiotics, but still feel pretty crappy today. I have to leave in 2 1/2 hours to take Molly to a specialist for her arm. Bob is going to meet me over there and watch the kids in the van (they'll be watching a movie) and then he has a Dr. P appointment at 4:45. So I get to take the kids home and listen to them scream for the next hour until he gets home. I really hate that time of day.
I should be doing laundry, but it's been all I can do to get the dishes done. I still need to make bottles and pack a diaper bag. And figure out some way to take hot water so Bob can make bottles, if necessary. I need to buy a thermos of some sort because I've often wanted to take hot water for bottles and end up making them with lukewarm water and sometimes that's ok with the kids and sometimes it's not. He'll probably end up driving them around anyway. Hopefully the appointment won't take too long.
Ug. I hate being this tired. I can hear my bed calling to me. At some point I need to get a shower in. I should have done it right when the kids went to bed, but I had been planning on taking a nap and then decided to do school with Molly instead. Blah. I should have taken a nap...
Molly is a big complainer. Spanking doesn't seem to affect it at all. I'm not sure what to do. It's like she can't keep her mouth shut to save her life. No amount of threatening (or follow through) helps. She has no logic when it comes to time management. She seems to be slow in gaining logic about anything. It's extremely frustrating because you can't reason with a person who doesn't understand logic.
I just want to pass out. But the little ones have been already been asleep for almost 2 hours and I know the minute I'd fall asleep they'd wake up and I'd feel worse than I do now. I made my second cup of tea for the day with caffeine in hopes that I'll feel a little bit better. I hate driving when I feel like this. I have to fight sleep the entire time and I don't feel safe.
I need something new to read. (Anyone, if you're looking for a birthday present, pay attention...) I have a bunch of books on my wish list - in the highest priority setting - that I would love to have. LMMontgomery is a wonderful author to read during the winter. Well, I love her any time, but she's a cozy author.
I hear Lorelei. Good thing I didn't give in a lay down. (I never can remember when you use lay and lie. I think lay is when you put something down and lie is when you sleep, but I'm not sure...) Anyway. Now the question is, do I wait for Liam to wake up to or put Lorelei in the jonny jump up and risk him waking up. If I wait, he goes in the jump up and she gets strapped into her high chair. I will love it when I can take a shower in peace without having to worry about the kids killing themselves or each other.
ttfn.
