Day 2: I’m F*cked March 3, 2008
Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise, Parenting 101 , trackbackDay 2 did not go as well as the start of this trip. Fortunately, the kids have school for the rest of this trip!
Mondays are home with mom days. At 2 am, Luna came in and told me she was lonely. She fell asleep quickly, but then snored all night..and stole the covers… Grrrr At 7, Soleil came in and the PBS love fest began. They watched TV until my alarm went off. I showered, fought with Luna over what she was wearing. She currently has 2 dresses she loves. She wants to wear these EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! UGH
Finally, we’re all dressed, fed and the girls run off to do art work while I am trying to herd them for gymnastics. Needless to say, we were VERY late to gymnastics. Sigh.
After that, we cleaned up our mess so our cleaner can actually clean tomorrow. This took an hour. Oy!
Then we had lunch and Luna’s ear appointment. As a baby, When I started this blog, Luna had to get ear tubes after 6 months of ear infections. At that point, she had hearing loss in one ear. Lovely. In the past year, she’s often asking us to repeat ourselves. It worried me. We met with my ped and the tests showed her hearing looked okay, but maybe her adenoids were causing problems. So in to the otolarengologist. Great. So we went. Today. Of course her hearing is absolutely perfect and there’s no sign of fluid in her ears. The doctor talked to us and after a quick discussion, we decided to check the adenoids. They are blocking her nasal passages by 90%. And this is when she doesn’t have a cold. It’s entirely possible that when she has a cold, it affects her hearing. It also explains why the child snores like a lumberjack. We could have them removed, but since they normally shrink after the child is 5, I don’t want to put her through surgery. Sigh
Of course, Soleil complained the ENTIRE VISIT. I swear if I heard "I’m hungry" one more time I was ready to toss her through a wall! And we had lunch RIGHT BEFORE we went! UGH! We already had "consequences" for being snotty to me this morning, so I was running out of options.
We did have a good time adding another layer onto the fort, but it was tough. My back is sore and all of this snow lifting is a pain on my back. We had a snow ball fight and had fun, but then the girls started demanding. I hate when that happens because I get so upset with the I want I want I wants
We managed to get ready for swimming, but we were running late (again!) and I thought we would only be 1 minute late, but no, we hit a traffic jam caused by an accident and were 10 minutes late. Grrrrr. So I had no time to work out myself.
The one redeeming part of today is that I have a set of sisters who are watching the girls for 2 hours while I am sitting less than a mile from home at Starbucks. I need the calm…..
And wtf is up with my fav bloggers going away? First Figlet, now Mrs. Figby? I am so sad!!!!
Editted with: HEY! I won the Leapster backpack on ebay! Woot! I couldn’t find it anywhere. It was "out of stock" at every online retailer!
