Remember that job I accepted on Friday? I didn’t really work on it
yesterday because I had several errands that I needed to run, some chores that
I couldn’t put off, and a couple of other things to get out of the way, and “besides,”
I thought, “I have all of Sunday to work. And if I can’t get it all done in one
day, I can still work a bit on Monday.”
Jinxed!
I spent most of last night cleaning up puke – 1 am, 2 am, and 5
am vomits are the worst - and fetching my (almost) four year old water and
clean clothes. It seems that Abraham’s cold isn’t really just a little cold,
but some kind of flu. This morning he got up- really, really hungry and thirsty
- and downed a big cup of milk, which he immediately proceeded to throw up all
over the dining room table. Then he wanted popcorn. I made him some toast and
told him that if he could keep it down, he could have some popcorn later. After
two pieces of toast he had a big drink of water, and then two slices of bacon. After
cleaning him up and feeding him I started on the laundry generated throughout
the night and sat down with this cup of tea.
Status report:
- I’m exhausted.
- It’s only 10:30 am.
- I have a messy kitchen, beds with no sheets, and a little boy on the couch grasping a bucket while asking for popcorn.
- The older boys haven’t had breakfast yet.
- Will I ever make it to Mass again?
- It’s Sunday indeed, and I need to start on my work.
- I can’t get my brain to wake up.
- I just looked in my calendar and realized why I decided to finish my work this weekend: beginning of next week is crazy!
- This baby will not stop moving and kicking!
- Prof. Husband has a deadline and is in his own world. He will act on command, but is not much help beyond that.
- My hair smells like vomit.
