The good news? CootieBoy’s diaper rash is signficantly improved (he finally let me put cream on it last night – I KNEW that would get rid of the rash overnight) and his stomach bug looks to finally be at an end.
The bad news? Stomach bug has latched on to me and I’ve had a miserable night here at Casa Cootie.
The good news? CootieGirl is surprisingly bug-free and arose this morning chipper and ready for a day of play.
The bad news? I’m in no mood since I’m running to the bathroom every 20 minutes or so.
And I have a LOT to do today:
- laundry (CootieBoy’s diaper leaked this morning just before he woke up and so sheets must be washed)
- vacuuming all carpets
- mopping all floors (the cats are having a field day with the grooming – I have found no less than EIGHT hairballs in the house since I got home last night. I will NEVER have long-haired cats again once Stinky and Mini kick the can)
- shopping (well not really “shopping”, but I DO have to drop of CootieBoy’s prescriptions once Denis calls me to let me know where we have our pharmacy account set up)
- painting and blankets (I know, I’m insane, but I HAVE to continue working on this stuff even though I’m ill. I have one painting almost done and a blanket halfway done, but my goal is to do three adult blankets and 2 child blankets today and/or tonight, and get at LEAST two more paintings started today. Tall order, but if the kids cooperate it can be done.
I just got off the phone with the babysitter that I had hired for today’s music practice – I let her know she was off the hook for today. I also emailed George and told him that there was NO WAY I could make it to practice (I left out the part where I’ve been running to the bathroom every 20 minutes since the middle of the night).
