I woke up this morning to a clogged toilet and kids freaking out cause the Internet was shutoff.  It's pretty amazing how we've come to rely on the Internet for just about everything and when it's not available, life comes to a screeching halt.  The toilet was an easy fix but the Internet was a bit more challenging and a whole lot more painful. 😯 With both if these issues addressed,  we can now begin our first day of the boys four day weekend.  I'm gonna try and convince them to go walk the track this morning but for some reason, Emmett's become very apposed to that.... Either way, I'm gonna make the best of today and try my best to be as productive as possible.. ☺

The boys seem to be dealing with an upper respiratory thing that's apparently going around the school.  Elliott was coughing last throughout the night and poor Emmett is so plugged up, I can hear a high pitched whistle noise when he breaths through his nose.. When I called them off this morning, the principal was saying that it's going around the school.  I'm gonna get them on some benadryl after they eat and hopefully that will help to clear them up a bit.  The oh shit happened when I realized that the boys had a 4 day weekend starting tomorrow.  That means with today added to that, they're gonna be home for the next 5 days... I love my kids more than life itself but I also like my sanity…

Rather than focus on what didn't go right today or the things I failed to accomplish, I thought maybe I could talk about a few of the things I did right.. For starters, I dragged myself out of bed this morning and while I was exhausted I had a good attitude.  ☺ I managed to get Emmett's shoes on in a way he found acceptable and did so on my first try.  The tooth fairy forgot to show up for Elliott last night and I was able to pull off a special delivery so the tooth fairy was able to save face with my middle minion.  😉 Emmett made it to physical therapy on time and I remembered to bring Elliott's tablet so he was able to entertain himself instead…
