Still sick


When mom is sick, everything goes to crap. I've been battling this cold for a week now and still I'm in a haze. The girls have taken control of the house. This morning there was a tug of war over the last clean towel, I won. So I'm gonna be a big girl and clean this house, sick or not. Okay, I'm gonna start cleaning and then issue chores to the kids too. Then I might as well run the errands that have been put off, cause apparently we really do need toliet paper! The Man is out for another week so I'm on my own. Good news though, he got a call about a civilian job but it's in the desert. Yeah, the desert. I'm dreaming of green grass and thunderstorms and we get a call from the desert. But we're walking on faith here! So bring on the desert if it means he can get out of the mil and be home with us girls everynight!

Still having the Halloween fight with the Duchess (the littlest in line for the throne here), she wants to be a cheerleader like her sister, the Princess (the highly dramatic older one), instead of the Snow White costume from Disney that she wanted to badly. The Man says no. I say no. But Duchess is still fighting it. Halloween night will be interesting here. Our goal is to meet up with a friend and trick or treat then hand out candy at her house (she actually decorated her porch). Wish us luck on that one. Oh and Duchess dressed herself today, this is what happens when I'm sick. The little one goes to the drug store looking like this, she lost the wide orange belt that she had wrapped around herself though.
