Sick bebe boy/ballooning weight

Jaxon's home again, and the school nurse pretty much said she's not planning on his coming back to school until Monday. Such a disruption for everybody. He'll be going out of his mind by tomorrow, and I already am.

My weight is off the freaking charts. I MISS having daytime hours to myself, where I could work out alone...in peace. I know Jeff would leave the room or whatever if I asked, it's just hard when he's trying to find a job, and sick kids, and me trying to make myself feel better with crappy food. Tyler isn't very happy right now, either. He internalizes everything. Makes jokes trying to make everyone feel better. My poor little family.

I'm so glad Ty has his Washington D.C. trip at the end of the month. It'll do him good to get away with other kids and have fun for a couple of days.

Come on March 29!

I did a lot of cooking today...for me.

I had both boys home sick today, which made it feel like a weekend. I made French toast for breakfast. I had to laugh how quickly that got Tyler out of bed. Jeff grilled hot dogs for lunch, and I made my home made spaghetti sauce and meatballs for dinner. Turned out fantastic! I even put a little kick in it by using this Southwest Chipotle seasoning in it. Jaxon loved it, although he had to take a drink after every bite because of the sting. :)

Not too much longer, and Jeffery should have a job. I will be doing cart wheels (can you imagine?) :) I'm trying to treasure this time we've had together. It probably won't happen again unless or until we get to retire.

I need to get back to working on the book. I actually loaded it, but it was late afternoon and the creativity just would not flow. Doesn't help that there's so many people around. By Monday I hope to be cranking out some new words. I'm going to spend the next few days just editing what I've got.

Iowa or Florida? That's the big question. Oy! More on that later.
