Molly has tons of school to catch up on, so I'll have lots of time to write today.The kids are sick (just a cold) in various stages. They're pretty whiney as a result. Liam and Lorelei haven't been sleeping well, so they're extra cranky. And since Lorelei is a crank all the time anyway that puts her at cranky x 3. Joy of all joys.
On the plus side, I had an extra burst of energy at midnight last night so my first floor is pretty well cleaned up (it was totally cleaned up until the kids came down) and my dishes are done and the dishwasher is empty! :) It'd be really nice if I could have the same burst of energy at some point this week for the rest of the house. Beth is taking the kids on Friday so I'll be able to clean, if I don't have to straighten first.
I miss writing by hand. I pretty much can't do it at all anymore. It hurts too much and I don't have enough control over the pen. There are days when any fine motor movement is really difficult, but something like writing is a problem almost all the time. But I miss taking pen to paper and having a more intimate conversation with myself. There are things these days that I wouldn't commit to paper. I used to be able to write down anything and everything, but it seems dangerous now. I wouldn't want to hurt my kids (or anyone else) later on.
I'm so cold. I hate being cold. It makes me want to hibernate. I have no energy for anything when I'm cold. It's all going to keep my internal organs alive. It will be interesting to see what this summer is like. How long it takes for me to want to put the air conditioning in. Usually it happens sometime around Memorial Day. Right now I can't imagine anything nicer than an 85 degree day!
I think today is going to be a long school day. Molly doesn't seem very focused. We HAVE to get everything done that I have scheduled out for this week. I can't stand being behind anymore. She really needs to work on her memorized addition and subtraction. She's been guessing a lot instead of taking the time to figure it out. She understands the concepts perfectly but she doesn't have her facts memorized.
I can't handle today. The kids are in rare form and I just didn't get enough sleep last night to deal with it.
