Plague 3 plus some good stuff

So now that Little A is finally on the mend, of course it was time for Big A to get sick. As if on cue, shouts rang out this morning just before 5 a.m. Big A had puked and wanted to tell me about it. I brought her into our room with a trashcan. Luckily we had childcare lined up to give Little A one more day off school to recover, so an additional patient was added to the list. Big A bounced back quickly and I'm sure it was just a cold combined with drinking milk before bed and laying flat on her back to sleep. A couple pillows tonight should do the trick and both girls SHOULD go to school tomorrow...fingers crossed.

Now on to the good stuff. Today was a good day.

  • I dressed up for an event at work and felt quite pretty in a skirt, tights and heels. Its been a long time since I've dressed like a girly girl.
  • The event went well and my boss and I grabbed lunch after - I tried fish tacos for the first time and really liked them. We had a nice time chatting and getting to know each other better. 
  • My workplace has a library - right in the building. There are few things I love more than books so this is thrilling to me. I ducked in after work today and spent a few leisurely minutes choosing some new reading material. Since my visits to the library normally involve the kids, I never get to browse for books of my own. The best I can do is grab a book from the shelf at the front which usually means I'm reading either something religious or a large print book. But now...all the books I want right at my disposal. Love it.
  • I was home by 3:15 and settled in with the kids. Talked on the phone with my sister and felt like things were finally getting normal. And, dinner is already prepared and ready for the oven thanks to the fact that I made it last night but no one felt like eating it. 
Feeling more positive that this may actually work out well!
