Just Great

So the day started out cool, but somewhere along the line, I managed to get sick. I blew my nose a couple of times yesterday, but nothing that would make me think I'd be sitting on my bed right now, with a roll of toilet paper, having used up all the kleenex in the house, and a plastic bag to toss all the used wads into. This is so not hot.

To add insult to injury, I do a load of laundry. I'm waiting for it to finish, so I can put the stuff in the dryer, and I hear "Oh my gosh!" in the over-the-top, Nickelodeon way my daughter likes to add drama to a situation. I hear her say something about the washing machine to my son, so I get up and find that the hose, which is supposed to be pointing down this hole in the wall, where the water is to run out, has come out of the hole in the wall and water has spewed all over my lacquered hardwoods. *sigh* All this, amidst the fact that my kids decided they were gonna wait until the eleventh hour to realize they hadnt quite finished their homework, did not make for a very good night. Rather than have them stay up late to do it, they will both be getting up at six.

So the tea is piping hot and the Nyquil is on deck, ready to put me out as soon as I finish talking to my baby.

PLEASE, Lord, dont let this be an indication of what this week is going to be like...
