This week…Eric had to fly to CA for a class. He was gone from Tuesday morning until Thursday night. He doesn’t really like to travel for work. And then the class wasn’t terribly useful to him. Not really a great trip…though he did bring home a toy airplane for each twin, and those were a HUGE hit. So it wasn’t all a waste!
This week…I took the kids to my parents’ house to hang while Eric was gone. The original plan was to spend Tuesday night and come home on Wednesday, but we ended up staying until Thursday morning. I’m not sure who enjoyed the time more – the kids or my parents! And I was just glad not to have to survive 3-on-Me time for the entire time Eric was gone. That’s a long time to be in charge without someone to spell you…makes me appreciate single moms even more. Without a doubt…Supermom, I am not!
This week…Megan has not been sleeping well. I blame her ears. It would seem that she doesn’t really respond to the pink stuff. It’ll knock out the worse of two infections, but not the lighter one which just keeps getting worse, until we end up back at the doctor’s office a week after finishing the antibiotics. Not fun. SO…since we’ve done 4 straight days of the pink stuff and we still need ibuprofen to sleep…I just called to get the white stuff now. And we’ll all start sleeping through the night again every night…I hope!
This week…lions and tigers and bears were loose in Zanesville. Of course, we were in Cedarville when it happened. But it’s kind of weird to watch stories about your area of life on the national news. And for something as red-neck as that, of course…
This week…Megan has learned a TON of stuff. She can tell you what a duck (qua), a doggie (oof) and a cow (mmmmm) say. She can point to her belly, head, and feet when asked. I am certain she called for her favorite toy (“ah-oo” = where are you?) when we asked her where it was the other day. When you say to “love (someone),” she’ll either blow a kiss, complete with a “mwah” sound, or give that person a big-ol’ sloppy kiss on whatever part of their face she first manages to touch. She danced the other night when Erin was singing, and she can do some of the motions to “The Wheels on the Bus” and “Only a Boy Named David,” among other songs. Basically, this kid is amazing the snot out of me…though I admit that I’m totally biased…and it kind of scares me what she might come up with next. 
This week…I have almost completely reorganized my kids’ clothes in the crawlspace. Each box now contains only one gender/size, plus a box for outerwear/hats/gloves/etc and a box for clothes made for us, mostly by Grandma Hogue. And I found some clothes I had been missing. I still have to pull out some of the clothes from Megan’s room to drop in the appropriate box, as she’s getting ready to move into 12-18m clothes. But my basement is cleaner, my crawlspace is organized better, and my ability to find what I want is now greatly enhanced. I LOVE bringing order to chaos! It makes me happy.
Which makes me wonder…this week, what makes YOU happy? Feel free to share!
