It’s not a bad as Alexander’s terrible, horrible,no-good, very bad day, but I am very tired and cranky.
Between the baby’s teeth, fever and general not-wanting to go to bed, and M’s fever and belly ache, I didn’t sleep much last night. This afternoon I did get in a nap, but M woke me up to ask me if he really HAD to be in bed, since he felt fine, and then he woke me up because his belly ache was back and he did not feel fine anymore…
I forgot to take B to his dentist’s appointment. I HATE it when I forget to look at the calender, it takes off all the shine from the good things I did do that were just, regularly scheduled good things, like clean up baby’s throw up (DH actually did that part), feed breakfast to kids that could eat it, laundry insist on spelling lessons, ocarina practice, a trip to the park and stuff we always do. But park trip at 11AM was exactly what we should not have been doing because it was right at the same time as the dentist appointment. And it gave me a heart attack when M walked to where I could not see him, and he did not hear me calling him to respond and I thought he’d been…well, use your imagination.
My Mom just phoned to say that she’s happy to take B to his friend’s performance of "The Three Musketeers" tonight, I helped make their costumes last week.
I told her all about it. I feel better now. Time to make some coffee.
How do you remember to go to appointments in the middle of days you are in the groove of home stuff? Does anyone really follow the 6 weeks on, one week for appointments for house and bodies idea? Maybe I need to get on a 6 week on, one week for other stuff rotation…maybe I need to learn to use the calender on my e-mail program, I do check e-mail, I don’t always remember to look at the calender… coffee, need/want coffee…
