Not Me Mondays

Original post date Jan 8, 2009

I know, I am doing a horrible job at keeping up. I will be doing some catching up, so bear with me. 

You have to know that Mondays are "Zombie Mommie" day! I work all night Sunday nights and do my best to make it through Mondays. There are some Mondays that I would be quite embarrassed to admit how we get through the day. Lunch is usually quite interesting... some days the kids just get tired of waiting on me to "come alive" enough to make lunch. Many times they will just fend for themselves, poor children. However it can't be any worse than the way daddy feeds them on Friday and Sunday nights when I'm at work.... Popcorn, and that's it... every time!:) One day Olivia came in to show me she was eating a slice of cheese wrapped around a hotdog... protein and dairy, not bad. Other days are not so balanced, like the day they had a bowl of pretzels, that's all. Sometimes we are not healthy at all, like the day we all had ice cream for lunch. About every other week, we will pick Joshua up from school then go through the McD's drive through. I know that's their favorite! This day Joshua showed me just how grown up he is becoming when he decided to make PB&J for he and Olivia both, complete with paper plates and napkins. He even put everything away and cleaned up his mess!! I might just join the fun of my fellow bloggers and share with you some more Not Me Mondays in the future. Lunch is not the only Monday challenge......

"The Cold"

I guess having number 3 has slowed me down a bit on the blogging thing.... I can use that excuse right? Any way, will try to catch up a bit. A few weeks ago Olivia had the most horrific cold; we're talking high fever for days, constant runny nose and DRAMA!! This actually turned into an ear infection; first and only one so far this winter!:)

A good moment....

In between sleeping and crying spells she tried to entertain herself; sometimes with the strangest things... forks?? .

But nothing ever lasted for long..

Shortly after Olivia recovered, Ora got the same bug and was quite miserable for a weekend and then of course we had to finish it up by Molly getting it and spending 2 days at Children's Mercy with high fever while we waited for them to confirm it was indeed just the same ugly virus tormenting our house.  The kids and Ora made Molly and I this welcome home sign.

Thankfully we are all healthy and happy at the moment!:)
