trying to console an inconsolable child. i literally held diane for her entire afternoon nap because i had finally gotten her to fall asleep after two hours of trying and i wasn't about to risk her waking up when i transferred her to her crib.
indulging madeleine's every dora desire. i am cringing even as i write this. i know that it is going to take weeks to undo what i did today. weeks of madeleine begging to watch episodes of dora the explorer. this girl hardly gets to watch any tv as it is (we actually don't have even basic cable, so anything she watches is via itunes or netflix streaming) and even more rarely gets to watch dora the explorer. i hate that show. i am reminded of a line from modern family: "i'd like to fill her backpack with bricks and throw her into candy cane river." but today, she sat in front of the computer for most of the day, getting her dora fill. i am not looking forward to the battles to come.
covered in bodily fluids. imagine it, and i had it on me at some point today. i at least had the foresight to wear grubby clothes straight out of the shower this morning.
vacuuming cracker crumbs out of my bed. i was just happy diane was finally eating something.
looking forward to bedtime. some days eight o'clock cannot come fast enough.

Condolences!
I wish I'd helped! I could probably come up tomorrow.
bless you. i should have called you around 7pm. we could have lost it together.
Here is for round 2 today...
please don't tell me all these kids got sick after our playdate last friday. robynn said eli is sick and it sounds like evan is sick too? and then diane. it's making me worried that june passed it. i really thought it was just a small cough she had. oh dear.
