Some days there are no words

Some days are such a mish-mash of events that there are not words to sum up the day.  O started the day getting all ready for school and just mentioned as he brushed his teeth that his belly hurt.  Then, as we walked out of the front door to catch the bus he mentions that his throat was "really, really sore."  After a brief conversation about whether or not he needed to stay home from school, we decided he would, in fact, stay home.

He was a bit put off by the rules:  if you are sick, you stay in bed and read.  No t.v.  No video games.  No running, jumping, playing.  Just relaxing in bed.  I may have to sit on him soon to keep him from running around with the dog.  Guess he feels better, huh?!  

The weather was dreadfully dreary, dark and rainy but I was in pretty good spirits all day and still am.  I kicked butt all weekend and had finished all of the laundry, worked, cleaned the kitchen, sorted through piles of paperwork that needed to be thinned out plus DD came over today for our massage trade.  Oh, and I snuck a couple.....ok a FEW pieces of Halloween candy.

Of course hearing about Mac the elephant (previous post--click on the title to go to the Zoo's announcement) was very sad.  But, all-in-all, the day was really good.

Now the dog is licking the bottom of my shoes, the cat is attacking the dog (hissing, whacking at his nose) because he is a bit too close to the cat, the other cat is yeowling in the other room because she has decided it is time for dinner.  The kids are drawing beautiful pictures for me.  M is only in her underwear because she has become a streaker as of late.  I'm lucky she is wearing underwear right now.  O's hair is sticking up just enough to be super cute.  I'll take a photo and post it to the beginning of this post.

Yeah, a good day of nothing much is really nice for a change.  And on a MONDAY no less.  Wish you all were here to enjoy it with me.  

I guess I'll now need find time to study for my Acu II midterm that is tomorrow.  Wish me luck!
