The day started good. Up and ready to go at a decent hour. The kids had a majority of their chores done by lunch and they even went outside to play in the ungodly heat of Houston. Then by lunchtime the cat had vomited, Ben had vomited, and Ainsley had an accident. Nasty stuff. Because I don’t know why exactly Ben vomited (at least he made it to the trash can), all afternoon and evening activities were cancelled. I think that it was a one time event, but we will see how the night goes.
Ainsley officially celebrated her birthday today with leftover cake and sloppy joes. All of her favorites. We didn’t get to go help with the community garden at church tonight but we did get out of the house for fifteen minutes while Madie fed Simon the cat (a cat that she is helping to take care of this week). We are all beginning to feel major cabin fever or at least mommy is. She has been on mommy duty for nearly 2 weeks straight (with the one exception of going to see the Harry Potter movie with Chris). I think that my testiness is partially due to no breaks. I am relishing quiet time in the afternoons a little too much. My only true peace comes when I step outside and it is too dang hot to do that.
We have playgroup at church tomorrow. As long as he doesn’t get sick tonight we are going. Gordon is coming tomorrow for the day, so we will enjoy his very early delivery (6:30am) and hopefully get a boatload of work done.
