I feel like a jerk but I am SO excited for the ILs to leave. We have tomorrow and Saturday with them then they leave early Sunday morning (we won't see them). I need to have a better attitude about them but right now I just can't.
Caleb actually went and got his shoes so he could go see Grammy. The pants, however, were apparently optional. Cue tears when I told him again that we had to wait.
I'm seriously ready to ship Jameson off to boarding school or boot camp. The sass is out of control and every.single.fucking.thing is a battle of wills.
@thadsrad, send him. I'm off mon and Tues and I'm still sending Maggie to day care. I need to get shit done. And maybe play some DDR My new motto is fuck (my apologies for the swear, but IT'S MY MOTTO!) mom guilt.

Tomorrow is A's Christmas party at school. Although I am not signed up to bring any food, I feel like there is this unspoken assumption that I am bringing some sort of treat. So I'm making Cookie Butter No Bake cookies. Deal with it kiddos!!!

I'm there with Lincoln. I'm surprised I have teeth left, I clench them all day.

I keep waiting for the magical age of not so much conflict, and there is no end in sight. I'm sure it will serve them well as adults, but holy hell it's hard having a strong willed kid.
B felt a little warm so I took his temp. It was 100.1 under one arm and 99.8 under the other arm. He's acting totally fine, ate a good dinner, and has no other symptoms. I didn't give him anything for his temp. I feel like I should let his body fight off whatever is going on, right?

My DS2 is like that too. He is SO stubborn!
My confession is that I want to be back at work. We have summer (school) holidays until the end of Jan, so my teaching and my Orchestra work doesn't start up till then. I really miss the orchestra especially and I'm getting really antsy being home for 2 months. AHHHHH.

Today was day six of sick Graham. He had to miss both days of school this week and we have basically been in the house since Saturday. He hasn't had fever in 24 hours so we are busting out of here tomorrow and going to the museum. I am dying of cabin fever.

I really wish I had something else I could do part time. Massage is too physical and too much hustling for me right now. I've looked into sonographer programs, but that's another 2 years of school and wtf do I do with 3 kids, etc. I really wish I had had better counseling and direction before getting my degree.
