Robin's Nest

 Monday starts it all over again. Hopefully with less excitement and sickness than last week. The kids will not have school today. They will have worksheets that I found during paper sorting. We just watched a show that actually kept SIL still for an hour and a half and not sleeping through it either. I put on the original Willie Wonka hoping that another lively show would occupy her mind for a bit. We are having a bit not fun with the dogs. I am so tired of being stuck inside. I hope tomorrow is nice enough to take SIL out for a walk without a ton of winter wear. I should have taken her outside today, but I took the girls on an outing instead. It makes me feel guilty for leaving her out and guilty that they can't run around and enjoy talking about what they did... without her. They could tell her, but I stop them and that steals their joy and mine. She could go if DH would go with us, but alas he wouldn't so I'm the bad guy on either end. The baby and her sister should arr...

Lily was up at midnight ready for the day. 😕   I was not ready to be up again. She was good, but I was tired. After about half an hour I let her know I had to go back to bed. Surprisingly she was okay with that.  About 0400 the dogs needed outside so up I get again and little miss was asleep on the couch. Yay! Once the dogs are done I can go back to bed! Today is babysitting and home health so I could not sleep in very long but it did feel nice to be lazy and sleep until 0550. After home health leaves we are getting back into our school routine. It is so tempting to say back to public school with you all! But I know for now home is best and I really do enjoy our time together.  A few sanity saving breaks help. Today we will go to town after our "essentials" are covered so that they can pick out a beanie baby and I can visit with friends. One look at the news casts and you might prefer to crawl in a hole and pull a blanket over your head. So we won't watch the news today....
