This is going to be a short post because I am so very tired. I started getting sick on Friday and it has continually gotten worse, culminating in only three hours of sleep last night because I was coughing so much. Ugh, it’s been a pretty crap week. I haven’t had the energy to be the mother I usually am, and it became really apparent that the kids rely on me too much. Two days ago I lost the plot and created new rules for the kids around helping out around the house. This meant there was a whole lot of drama since the rules changed, but they since then they have been quite good. They are both willing to help out a lot more, which is really nice. They need help in the helping, but at least it’s a start!
On Friday I took Carmie down to teach her Procreate class to the other kids, and I took Arley with me so we could go out to lunch and then for ice cream. It’s what we used to do a year ago, and Arley was very excited for our lunch date. It was very sweet.
On Saturday Jeff and I took the kids to a new (for us) park that is about 15 minutes away. The kids loved it, and it was a really successful outing, which we really needed. By Sunday I was definitely sick, and on Monday I spent the day on the couch, and missed my Taekwon Do grading that night :(. On Tuesday I took the kids to horse riding but I stayed in the car so as not to infect anyone else. And since then I’ve been taking it easy. The kids saw Clint at Chambers Island, and Carmie went to her girls’ group.
Jeff’s guitar school is growing and growing, and I couldn’t be more proud of him. When he quit his job last year to do guitar teaching, we figured he would need 20 students to make the same money. Well, he has more than 20 students now, and we have some advertising that we have already paid for coming up over the next few months, and we expect quite a few more students. It’s been really great for him :)
That’s it for me. I’m going to go cough now. :(
