A little down as well

Oh people! I've been feeling horrible for the past few days. I haven't been vomiting, but my stomach has been queasy! No. I'm not pregnant. I know that for sure. I must have 'caught' whatever the Bear had. With all that was coming out of that kid, I'm not surprised I did.

I've been so tired. Actually, I'm still tired. I haven't been sleeping well all week. Just last night I heard the Bear CRY out around midnight. That woke me up like a bullet. Took me ages to fall back asleep.

It felt like I'd just fallen asleep when I felt like someone was shaking me. And I wasn't dreaming. The Princess had a bloody nose and needed assistance. I glanced at the clock once I got my eyeglasses on. 2am. TWO in the morning! I escorted her out of our bedroom, closed the door, and went into the hall bathroom. I held her nose in a half dazed state. It wasn't a bad bloody nose though so it didn't take long to clot. I gave her a hug and she happily trotted back upstairs to bed. I'm sure she fell asleep easily. But me? I was warm and couldn't sleep. I ended up getting back up and staying up until about 4am.

It seemed like a blink of an eye when the Hubs' alarm went off. Oh....I wasn't looking for the morning routine. NO! But it turned out good. The kids woke up after the Hubs was ready for the day. He was able to get the kids their breakfast (one oatmeal and one bagel). So while they ate, I took a cool rinse. Ah....that helped me wake up for sure.

It's now 10am. I've done an hour of work. Not too many issues to deal with. It's cold outside -- 65 degrees! Yes. That's summer for many of you. But since it was cool, I took advantage of it and got the kids outside. I didn't want to get them out too late because there's a chance it'll still get hot. It's been up in the 90s-100s the last few days! While the kids played, I pulled weeds, watered & dead-headed our potted flowering plants. I also chatted it up with a couple neighbors. I'm now waiting for a technician to show up to change out our RO water filters.

It's been a busy morning. What are YOU up to?
