The Turn Tooth*
This has been one of the worst colds I’ve had in a long time. I rarely ever take any OTC medications–after six years of pregnancies + nursing I just got used to natural remedies and find they are usually enough to see me through. Yesterday my throat was so sore that I caved and took some Benylin to see if it would help. I was in no mood to deal with any complaining at dinner time, so I whipped up a gourmet meal for the kids: frozen pizza. S almost never eats the crusts on her pizza. We normally have a deal where she eats to the crust and I…

Not on the bathroom floor*
I’m happy to report that tonight’s post is coming to you from my regular perch on my loveseat, and not the bathroom floor. I finally got H settled and back into bed a little after 1am.

I was booked in to work a full day tomorrow and decided that rest was more important. So, I got ready for bed crawled in and stretched out. Then I heard the kids’ door open and H stumbled out, complaining that his tummy hurt again.

Proud Mama Moment*
I need to have a bit of a proud mama moment. We’ve been gently preparing H for kindergarten for several months now. He starts JK in September, and has been very anxious about it. We did the Intro to Kindergarten night, brought him to as many school functions as we could, introduced him to S’s friends, and talk about how fun it will be. At the end of last year, S’s amazing teachers even let him come into the classroom with her at the end of every school day to see the room, her cubby, the tables, etc. He was very tentative about going in the class with her, but…
