Here’s the cat, enjoying some winter sunshine by the tree. Now that there are presents around it, he can burrow under it like usual. I think he’s rather put out about that.
I’ve been ignoring my blog lately. Poor, lonely blog. I’ve just been busy and in the evenings I have so much to catch up on, the last thing I want to do is blog.
I will try to do better.
People who have more than one child are saints. Seriously. I have no idea how they do it. I can barely handle one and that one sometimes makes me want to rip all my hair out.
So on Tuesday, the kiddo had a dentist appointment. I had to pick him up from school early. Went to dentist and got a great report – no cavities! Yay!
As it turns out, the kiddo left his binder at school. With all his homework in it. Which meant he couldn’t do any homework on Tuesday night. So guess what? On Wednesday night, we did two and a half hours of homework. 😐 Spelling, science, math, coloring. He was so slow at coloring, I made him finish it before I’d give him his dinner (mean Mom). And then he was so slow at everything else, it was 8:30 before he finished it all.
And then he’s started coughing. And sniffling. Great. I’m trying to doctor him now before he gets a full blown cold (or – worse – the flu) but I don’t know if I can avoid it. Hopefully it’s just something in the air. I feel the same way but I know mine is allergies. I really don’t want to have a sickie on Christmas. That would be a total bummer.
Incidentally, I can’t believe Christmas is NEXT WEEK. Who allowed it come to so fast? I still have presents to wrap and a dinner list to make and STUFF to do. And tonight is the parent meeting for basketball which starts right after the first of the year. Blech.
Okay that’s it for me. Happy Thursday, ya”ll!
Glad to read an updated post! 😉 I figured out the trick to get them to remember their homework folders. When they “forgot” them, I drove them right back to the school, to run in and get it. So, after one or two times of me making them get the folder anyway, they remember it just fine!
I’m sure your guy really did just “forget” his. Mine are devious. They forget on purpose! 😀
Hope kiddo is better soon.
I asked a friend of mine about one vs. several kids — she had one, then married a guy with three. She said it’s actually easier with more than one (sort of like with cats), because they keep each other busy and she can get more done.
BTW, your cat is adorable.
Oh. My. Gosh. This has to be a record or something for you and NOT updating your blog!!! 😉
